Petit Trianon

The Petit Trianon is a small, elegant château located in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles, France. Commissioned by King Louis XVI in the 18th century, it served as a private retreat for Queen Marie Antoinette. The building is known for its neoclassical architecture and beautiful gardens, reflecting the queen's desire for a more intimate and personal space away from the formalities of court life. The Petit Trianon symbolizes the luxurious lifestyle of the French monarchy and highlights the cultural opulence of that era, particularly the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette before the French Revolution.
