Versailles - Hameau de la Reine

An English-style garden was laid out for Marie- Antoinette on the site of Louis XV's botanical garden at Versailles, and in it was built a miniature hamlet, with a farm, a dairy, a mill and a dovecot. In this area too are the Temple de l'Amour (Temple of Love, 1778), the Belvédère (an octagonal pavilion of 1777), the Théâtre de la Reine (1780) and the Pavillon Français (by Jacques-Ange Gabriel, 1750).
