Marie Antoinette Farm at Versailles Photos

Marie Antoinette who wanted to escape the pressures of royal court life and recreate her native Austrian countryside had a farm & dairy (Hameau de la Reine) built by architect Richard Mique on the grounds of, but a fair distance from, the Palace of Versailles. It is also a calm and charming place for today's visitors.
