Marie-Antoinette’s days at Versailles were very busy: her levee, her bath and her meals in public were veritable ceremonies! But the young queen also liked to have fun. Choosing her dresses and her hairstyles, riding her horse, singing and spending time with her friends were her favourite activities. Marie-Antoinette especially had a real passion for her Trianon Estate and the freedom she found there, far from the obligations of court. Here she opens the doors to her world, secret and refined.

This illustrated album enables children to follow the young Queen’s everyday life. These scenes bring an intimate Versailles back to life, remodelled by Marie-Antoinette and a kingdom full of excess, pomp, grace and secrets.
