    Poor Marie Antoinette was blamed for extravagance yet it was blown out porportion to what the Aunts of her husband spent on their jewelry, clothes etc.
    She was Austrian and a foreigner and the xenophobia that all foreigners face especially since the enmity of France and Austria was deep as their wars between the two countries had been going on centuries.
    Also, she disregarded etiquettee which was held by noblewomen who were offended when the jobs they once held was terminated and the spite and jealousy she caused was and issue she was unaware of until she learnt the French people and the courtiers hated her and all the ills of France was blamed on her.
    Never had a queen had such character assassination put on her shoulders!
    It was cruel and terrifying!😢

    Non , Marie-Antoinette ne fit pas construire le petit trianon ! C'est Louis XV qui le fit en 1762 pour Mme de Pompadour qui n'en profita pas puisqu'elle mourut avant la fin des travaux en 1769 !!! Louis XV en profita avec Mme du Barry , sa derniere favorite , jusqu'en 1774 , année de sa mort.
    Le nouveau roi Louis XVI l'offrit à son épouse. Celle-ci fit redessiner le jardin à la mode du jour , detruisant par la même occasion le jardin botanique de Louis XV qui avait fait l'admiration de l'Europe entière..!!! Elle prefera jouer à la bergère plutôt que de poursuivre l'oeuvre scientifique du roi défunt. Une becasse de plus...

      is le petit Trianon everything that you expected this palais to be or even more spectacular.
      oh, i would be in raptures as Madame du Barry lived there before la reine Marie Antoinette.
      how sad Madame de Pompadour never lived long enough to occupy this enchanting palais!

    Petit Trianon maybe delicately beautiful but its also insulting to the reality peasants lived with. By isolating herself in Petit Trianon, Marie Antoinette neglected her duties as queen.

      Aha! How smart you are!
      Poor dear, Marie Antoinette, meet Madame Le Guillotine.
      Yet the financial ills of France began with Loius XIV with his costly wars especially in the last years of his life fighting the Dutch anf the economic woes of the French state was rendered a hopeless case.
      Louis XIV never actually paid off the deficit of te building of Versailles which amounted millions of livres!
      His great grandson, Loius XV had that appalling mess to contend with.
      Yet Marie Antoinette was blamed and she was called, Madame Deficit.
      So tragic for this persecuted queen.
