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)

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.
