Hameau de la Reine

This mock village of thatched cottages, a pond and photogenic mill was constructed from 1775 to 1784 for the amusement of Marie-Antoinette, who liked to play milkmaid here.

Be advised that high-season tickets cover admission to the Grand and Petit Trianon, the Hameau de la Reine, Marie-Antoinette's dairy, the theatre, the English garden and so on; low-season tickets, which cost €6 for adults, only cover the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon and gardens.

History and/or art buffs keen to delve deeper into life at court, music, Louis XV and Louis XVI's private apartments and so on can sign up for an informative lecture tour, some in English, at the main ticket office.
