Why take this tour?

Welcome to the enchanting gardens of Versailles, where history comes alive through the eyes of a young Marie Antoinette! Join me, as I whisk you away on a whirlwind  journey through the beauty of my beloved private domain, where every bloom and every breeze whispers tales of courtly life and youthful exuberance.

As we wander through the meticulously manicured pathways of the gardens of Versailles, I'll regale you with stories of my life at court, from the grandeur of palace balls to the heavy weight of my royal duties. My marriage with the future King Louis XVI sealed a fragile peace between our Habsburgs and Bourbon families, peace for Europe and for the Empire. All this resting on my 13 year old shoulders! But fear not, for amidst the pomp and protocol, I always found moments of playfulness and joy, cherishing every opportunity for adventure and spontaneity.

Imagine, if you will, what I might have been like had I lived past my tragically short years, joining you here today as a friend and companion. Picture me, still full of youthful vigor and boundless curiosity, eager to share the wonders of Versailles with fellow explorers like yourselves.

I will tell you all about my secret hideaways, tucked away in the gardens at Versailles,  where I sought solace from the rigors of court life in the company of only my closest friends, and where I indulged in simple pleasures and embraced the joys of rural life with my beloved children. 

So come, dear friends, and let us wander through the gardens of Versailles together, as we reimagine the life of a young Marie Antoinette and bask in the timeless beauty of her world.
