EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Le Hameau, the rustic hamlet nestled within the expansive grounds of the Château de Versailles. This idyllic retreat, constructed between 1783 and 1787, served as a playful escape for Marie Antoinette and her companions during the late 18th century. Marie Antoinette, the last Queen of France before the Revolution, sought solace from the grandeur and formalities of the royal court in this charming, pastoral setting. Le Hameau was designed to resemble a quaint, rural village, complete with a mill, a dairy, a bakery, and even a small temple dedicated to the goddess Diana. In this photograph by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness the rustic charm of Le Hameau. Marie Antoinette and her companions, dressed in the elegant yet simple attire of shepherdesses and nymphs, can be seen enjoying the picturesque surroundings. They engage in playful activities, such as milking cows, baking bread, and tending to the gardens, all while basking in the serene beauty of their countryside haven. Le Hameau was more than just a whimsical retreat for Marie Antoinette and her friends; it also served as a symbol of the monarchy's power and wealth. The elaborate design and construction of the hamlet showcased the extravagance and opulence of the French court, even as the country faced mounting financial troubles and political unrest. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the fascinating history and intrigue that surrounds Marie Antoinette and the Hameau de Versailles. This enchanting snapshot offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and allure of this historical site and the stories it holds.
