Le hameau de la Reine, the Queen Marie Antoinette
The Hameau de la Reine, The Queen's Hamlet is a rustic retreat in the park of the Château de Versailles
built for Marie Antoinette in 1783 near the Petit Trianon in Yvelines, France.
It served as a private meeting place for the Queen and her closest friends, a place of leisure.
Designed by the Queen's favoured architect, Richard Mique with the help of the painter Hubert Robert,
it contained a meadowland with lakes and streams, a classical Temple of Love on an island with fragrant shrubs and flowers,
an octagonal belvedere, with a neighbouring grotto and cascade.
