Trianon & Marie-Antoinette's Estate Tours
A 25-minute walk beyond the Grand Canal lies the half of Versailles most day-trippers never reach. The pink-marble Grand Trianon was Louis XIV's escape from his own court; the neoclassical Petit Trianon became Marie-Antoinette's private domain in 1774; and beyond it she built the Queen's Hamlet between 1783 and 1787 — a working farm village of thatched cottages, a mill and a dairy around a lake.

Trianon & Hamlet in Versailles — Häufige Fragen
What is Marie-Antoinette's Hamlet at Versailles?
The Hameau de la Reine, a rustic village of twelve thatched buildings — mill, dairy, farmhouse and tower — built for Marie-Antoinette from 1783 around an artificial lake. It was a private retreat where the queen could escape court etiquette, and the working farm still keeps animals today.
Is the Trianon estate included in a Versailles ticket?
Not in the palace-only ticket. The Estate of Trianon needs either its own ticket or the combined Passport, which most full-estate tours include. The Trianon domain opens at noon, later than the palace.
How do you get from the palace to the Trianon?
It is about 2 km — a 25–30 minute walk through the gardens, a €9 ride on the estate's little train, or a few minutes by rented bike or golf cart. Full-day tours build the transfer into the itinerary.
