What to expect
Your guide meets you in Paris and drives you to the Trianon estates, a quieter alternative to the main palace. You'll walk through the Petit Trianon itself, seeing how the queen designed private quarters away from formal court life. The gardens follow a deliberate English style—curved paths, planted groves, water features. Then you move to the hamlet's farmyard, where Marie Antoinette kept cows, sheep, and poultry as both hobby and escape. Expect a moderate pace with standing and walking; prams work on most paths.
Good to know
Travel time to Versailles is part of your four hours, so actual on-site time is roughly 2.5–3 hours. Wear comfortable shoes for gravel and grass paths. The farm section is outdoors and exposed; bring a hat or umbrella depending on weather.
