Purpose

Welcome to Antoinette's Trianon! This site is devoted to Marie Antoinette. She loved her Trianon at Versailles. It was her place to escape from a world of strict etiquette and vicious politics. There she could be herself. I intend to try and use this blog to portray Marie Antoinette as a real person, not as a snobby queen who fictitiously told her subject to "eat cake" when they had no bread. Rather, I will post relevant news, discuss books, and hopefully scratch the surface of this fascinating woman smeared by history.

The Opera Royale, built as part of the Palace of Versailles as a wedding present for Marie Antoinette, is reopening after two years of restoration. 

This article has some beautiful pictures of the newly restored opera, as well as explaining some of the work done.  Here's the link.
