Northwest of Versailles’ main palace is the Domaine de Marie-Antoinette. Admission includes the pink-colonnaded Grand Trianon , built in 1687 for Louis XIV and his family to escape the rigid etiquette of the court, and the ochre-coloured, 1760s Petit Trianon , redecorated in 1867 by consort of Napoleon III, Empress Eugénie, who added Louis XVI–style furnishings, as well as the 1784-completed Hameau de la Reine , a mock village of thatched cottages where Marie-Antoinette played milkmaid.
