My visit to Versailles!! PART 2-TRIANON and le HAMEAU

After visiting the castle, I decided to look for the Trianon, not knowing that I would walk so much! Well, now I do understand why Marie-Antoinette needed a carriage to go there! I went along the Grand Canal and then, among trees, on paths. I followed other visitors in order to find my way to Trianon. I felt so odd to be there, after waiting so many years to visit the castle of my dreams, the place I had imagined walking through since childhood. And here I was.

I had also a map, offered by the castle.
But, first of all, the Queen's chambers: incredible to be there and to imagine she spent some of her time here, with friends (just as she nearly died two times here, during her first labour, and on October, 6th, 1789).

(Don't be fooled, there were many other tourists, in fact)

 The famous portrait by Vigée-Lebrun representing Marie-Antoinette as a loving mother.

Le Grand Trianon

Marie-Antoinette, dancing with her brothers and sisters. She loved so much this painting that it was sent from  Vienne to Versailles for her.

(The toilets...but apparently, not from the 18th century)

I had this sort of calm, eerie feeling while strolling through the park. To be honest, where I got the most scared was near the grotto; I simply didn't dare to get closer to it. But all in all, I had this great feeling of contentment for having visited, at last, Marie-Antoinette's favourite place. 

Nonetheless, I may have to make a post about this strangeness surrounding Trianon  and the Hameau. One of my friends visited it last year and she told me she was not so at ease. That' ll be interesting to speak about it with the topic "Ghosts at Versailles castle". It has been a long time hot topic since two English women claimed they had seen ghosts from the 18th century, at the Trianon. 

These are my pictures, you can't use them without my permission. At least, add a link to this article. 

My visit to Versailles!!! PART 1

So, this was my first trip to Paris and Versailles, two years ago! I fullfilled one of my childhood dreams. You can't guess how happy I was! Moreover when I visited the Trianon, well, guess what happened? Sunlight came back, and it was the only sunny day during my Parisian and Versailles trip...
:)
Did someone decide to greet me?

Well, I took so many pictures that I had to sort them out. Tough decision, I was so excited to visit Versailles that I wanted to keep as many souvenirs as I could! I'm starting first with my Versailles trip:

La Cour de Marbre, where the revolutionaries demanded the queen to appear on the balcony and where she nearly died. 

Madame de Polignac

Madame Elisabeth

La Galerie des Glaces

So, what do you think? 

I'll make another post with everything concerning Marie-Antoinette more personally (Trianon, her Versailles bedroom, the Hameau...).

In this post, these are my pictures, credit me, add the link of this post if you use them. Otherwise, you're not allowed to use them.
