This scene is so idealic. It really does embody what was written about her time at La Petit Triannon. Marie was completely sheltered from the real world. She had no idea what the true pastoral life really was. She had no idea how all around the walls of Versailles, people, children, we're starving. She thought that this was how the country peasants lived simply because the staff were paid by the king to make it so. The animal enclosures were kept well away from the house so she and the children didn't smell filth. The sheep, goats and chickens allowed to wander were bathed in perfume and staff followed them to quickly clean up their droppings and urine. The eggs being washed before she collected them is true, and all of the produce she picked were rinsed clean of dirt. She did milk cows and goats for fun, but only after the staff carefully washed the animal and perfumed them and led them far away from the barn. Since she had been an Archduchess before her arrival to France at 14, and cloistered from the real world after that, she had no idea that this wasn't how the real world lived...until it was far too late. Her story is incredibly tragic.
So true. Come to really think of it, great injustice was meted out by singling out these two young royals for punishment for the crimes of their kins n predecessors. Sad really. Even as a parallel we can take ourselves as an example. We the ppl who live in better parts of our cities hardly ever see the difficulties n hardships of the lesser privilidged even today, the age of social media n exposure so much so that we fantacise romanticism in the country life. Y else do u think we go to the villages in our vacations? Even the concept of farms n retreats are a modern equivalence of what Marie created in her backyard n thought the village life was so much better, easy n peaceful. I am ashamed of myself after seeing this.
She isn't as naive as you make her out to be. Nor was she completely sheltered from the real world. Her mother the Empress Marie Teresa made sure of that. She interacted with those outside her social class despite being an archduchess while growing up in Austria. She was also keenly aware of the people starving in France as a result of famine. But it was not her duty to be politically involved. Rather it was to produce heirs to the throne of France. That was the duty of Louis XVI and he failed miserably. The village was meant to be an escape from the stifling court protocols of Versailles and an educational experience for her young children. I highly doubt the exaggerations you mentioned were true as they sound like the libels published during the time. After all, it is well documented that the nobles would simply relieve themselves in the corridors at Versailles and the place stunk so bad that the gardens couldn't mask the smell. Odd Marie Antoinette would be so concerned with the smell of filth when their primary residence never did quite solve that problem.
I am in Versailles now and feeling that exactly, though I should come back next season to feel the spring breeze and the morning calm in the misty air in the summer when the trianon is at its best.
This is actually a great likeness on more levels, because a "bad" side to the Cottagecore movement is how many of us dream of having a "simple peasant life" without really thinking about all the work behind it. A small cottage with a garden sounds lovely, but you need to tend to it all. A garden needs to be tended to, animals need to be fed, a house needs to be kept whole and clean. None of it is a simple life, but we like to pretend it could be, much like Marie enjoys her Petit Trianon without having any duty to take care of it, only enjoying what that life offers her.
This is a perfect example of the fantasy world she decided to build for herself. It's beautiful and intoxicating...until you step outside the palace walls.
The Petit Trianon and the village was her escape from the stifling court of Versailles. Often forgotten is the downfall of the monarchy had many players involved. Louis XVI's own brother, cousin and aunts actively worked against them.
@Ludwig Grundberg this "woman were hated throughout history" meme needs to die already. How the fuck was she hated for being a woman and not exclusively for being nobility and Austrian? Third wave feminism was a complete mistake.

@You Toobe nope. I am correct In 2006, Marie Antoinette, directed by Sofia Coppola, was released. Marie-Thérèse was played by two different child actresses. At age two, she was played by Lauriane Mascaro, and at age six she was played by Florrie Betts. Kirsten Dunst starred as her mother, Marie Antoinette.
The child that was cast is the sweetest and cutest little doll baby. I just want to reach through the screen and give her a hug and help her play with all the little lambs and chickens and pick flowers with her. This movie was like watching a painting come to life.
That was intentional. If you notice Marie is the only one that sounds "out of place" on purpose- she was Austrian and would have sounded odd to the French. They chose to make that point specifically.
She looks like she's about 3. I'm guessing it was too hard to get her to say things in English lol. Or like someone else said, It's to make MA be out of place.
I personally believe that this was Marie-Antoinette's best part in her life. It was after the birth of her sons, so her status as queen as unchallenged, and right before the Revolution. she lived there in quite modest lifestyle (at least compared to the pomp and circumstance of Versailles), and before the death of her eldest son the Dauphin Louis Joseph. Truly sad thing what happened to her, and to her sons (and more specifically to her youngest son Louis-Charles, who was imprisoned and tortured by the revolutionaries, only for his "crime" to be born to the royal family.
+Djas Kang, Louis Charles was tortured... I read book about it: Philippe Delorme "Louis Charles, la biographie" Paris. 2015. Horror... poor Little Prince...
One of my favorite scenes from the film. Kristen Dunst IS of German (3/4 German and 1/4 Swedish) heritage, and she actually looked very appropriate as Marie in terms of skin tone, eye color, hair color, etc. This film is so beautiful to watch, and it made me feel the sad and terrible parts of the revolution even though the film doesn't show that aspect. Yes the queen was out of touch -- but she had no power over the situation, was a political scapegoat, hideously ridiculed in the notorious pamphlets (displayed in pornographic scenarios and accused of every "horror" such as lesbianism and incest with her son), the "Austrian" who was murdered for what she symbolized. Rose Byrne as the Duchesse de Polignac is so gorgeous in this film -- exactly how I imagine the beautiful, extremely charismatic Duchesse (it is said she died of a broken heart when she learned of her best friend the queen's execution though she had actually been ill for a few years). The Duchesse de Polignac wasn't a redhead like Byrne but Byrne has those gorgeous doe-eyes, and the way she brightens every room was just perfect in this film.
I think they gave Rose red hair for the benefit of a broader modern audience, most of whom wouldn't be familiar with the identities of Marie Antoinette's favourites. It differentiates her from the Princesse de Lamballe, and you'll observe that the other girl in the milk scene has her own individual hair colour too. Some of the real Duchesse de Polignac's beauty can be seen in surviving photos of her grandson Camille Armand Jules Marie, Prince de Polignac, who had her eyes and nose. How I wish we had photos of the court of Louis XVI!
She was called l'autrichienne by the French which was insulting to.the Queen. She was hated a lot. Today she would go to court and probably given a slap on the wrist and let go.
Owns France. "WELCOME TO MY LITTLE VILLAGE" Love this scene, it's so beautiful. But you really have to consider how filthy rich they are to enjoy bucolicism.
Her playing shepherdess was so insulting. She actually thought this was a contribution to naturalism and Rousseau's doctrines? No bitch you aint a follower of Rousseau.
but to be fair, Marie Antoinette was just a teenage girl (she was only 14 or 15 when she was Dauphine) born into this world. She never knew anything else. She and her husband the king were way too young and naive to conquer and the former king (or kingS) had already destroyed everything, it's not like the system wasn't completely f*cked up before. She didn't invest monarchy, she was just born into it
@@katslife5500 “i wanted to make a personal story and not a big epic historical biopic” - sofia coppola it kind of isn’t but ok. this film wasn’t meant to be a documentary, but whatever helps u sleep at night i guess
While there were famines around this time, most of the countryside remained loyal to the monarchy. Often not talked about is that Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette attempted to address the issue by selling various items in order to feed the poor. One Christmas, she told her daughter Marie Therese there would be no presents (as much as she would like to give some to her) in order to help those who were less fortunate than her. It was Paris that was the center of revolutionary fervor. Nor was this a simulated fantasy. The Court of Versailles was stifling with all it's protocols and members who despised her Austrian origins such as her spinster aunts, brother-in-law and extended family. The farm represented her much more idyllic life she had lived when growing up in Austria. Where she could interact with those from other social classes despite being an archduchess.
@@strugglingcollegestudent i of agree with you she didn't give her daughter any gifts but spent all of France's money on herself. Kind of selfish if you ask me.
What a contrast to Verseil. whereas in the palace, the gardens were all sharp edges, meant to show the triumph of man, through reason, over nature, here, there are wild flowers and roaming animals. While her time in the palace is defined by strict and unnatural feeling court rules, and here it is freedom, motherhood, gentleness, growth. She even reads a passage in this scene about leaving society.
It’s just as artificial as Versailles. That’s the point of showing the maids cleaning the eggs before she touched them. This is an fantasy world crafted for her, just like Versailles and not a true representation of pastoral life. Even when she thought she was free she wasn’t
I mean the natural garden started to become popular, it was called the English Garden. Chatsworth for example used to have a magnificent formal garden but as the trend swept in, the owner changed it and now it's way more simple and natural
It's not so odd for her to crave this way of life. She came from the Habsburgs in Vienna and her mother taught her to be close to simpler folk and care for the well-being of the people. Cut off from the land and people by the wall that was aristocracy in France she fled to this little world where she could mimic life how it was in an Austrian village or royal hunting lodge.
This is honestly what the nursery song "Mary had a little lamb" was about! Learnt this fact when very young & as a lover of France, the Bourbons & Marie - it's forever stuck in my head!
This is a beautiful scene! I've come to really appreciate it more after seeing 'A stich in Time Marie Antoinette on Elizabeth's UA-cam channel. She's a fashion historian. She explained the scandal of the cotton muslin dresses Marie Antoinette wore at the Petit Trianon and at court. And, she and her team recreated the dress from a famous painting! Was absolutely incredible!
@@strugglingcollegestudent There were many exceptions. Eleanor of Aquitane, a queen from the Middle Ages lived to be around 82 and outlived several of her children.
Same but I'd rather be that than be a peasant during that time. It's weird to think that in a lot of ways if Marie Antoinette time travelled she might think we lived like royalty. Because we have plumbing, electricity, cellphones, all things that would seem magical back then. Sure our houses might be smaller and we might not dress like her, but our quality of life at least in a first world country is arguably better than hers
Didn't the people tending that area have to clean the eggs off first, before she saw what they actually looked like? Like totally curated the experience for her?
Her first daughter lived into the era of photography. Too bad we dont have any pics. MA could have lived into that era had her head not come off. We could have had pics of her at a very old age.
If the people of france had known about this the 'Let them eat cake' story need never have existed - her idea that their lives were so pleasant would've made them angry enough.
I'd like to make the apologetic excuse that the eggs were being cleaned because they knew Marie-Therese would be with her. i.e. having one of the royal toddlers around anything that could potentially get them sick would obviously be a big no-no. But, let's be real. It was for Marie-Antoinette and her ladies (as well as the little princess) to enjoy an idyllic lifestyle removed from reality. :/
That kid is so adorable I also love the fact Marie and Louis have American accents while everyone else have either french or British accents this movie is pure eye candy
After learning about her life, and knowing what I know about people in general, I will bet money that she never said the terrible things that they said she did. They had an agenda which was to get rid of the monarchy . The best way to do that was to make them out to be vile and insensitive. To dehumanize them as much as possible so that they could do what they did to her and the king. They did the same thing to the Russian monarchy in the early 1900s. She was naïve and didn’t see this. She didn’t stand a chance and when people have an agenda against you, they will make everything you do and say out to be so much worse than it is. I don’t agree with monarchies of course. But murder is murder. The French resistance first assassinated her character, to make the French people hate and distrust her more than they already did, because she was an outsider. Just made it easier to kill her and accomplish their agenda. She was a pawn. And because they then owned the narrative, they damned her to history as this selfish, unfeeling, bitch who watched from her golden tower as the French people starved and lost her head for it. Such bullshit. I feel for the young lady.
How right you are. She was obviously used as a scapegoat by evil people to accomplish their agenda of overthrowing the monarchy. Same thing happened in Russia.
Marie's "little village" is properly known as Hameau de la Reine (The Queen's Hamlet). It is not the Petit Trianon (although constructed very close to it). The Petit Trianon is shown briefly at the very beginning. of this clip.
Versailles is beautiful, but if I lived there, seeing all that gold decor everyday would give me a headache. Plus, I’ve been there twice! It literally feels like you are in Belle’s village!
Princess Maria-Therese Charlotte was the only member of the family (I mean of the king, the queen, herself and her siblings) to survive the revolution. Sadly, she died childless.
+coco cat I agree with you that sounds weird, and i thought it might been cuter if Kirsten had spoken in French only in scenes where Marie with her children. Not 100% in french of course, because that would made it looks like typical historical movie. It supposed to be Marie's loose biography with modern vibe
+coco cat i guess because since Marie Antoinette's native language was German she would have sounded different from her kids and friends and this was how that was conveyed
This's 100 time more beautiful than shopping scene..the same but the opposite;beautiful too but natural and healthy,honestly&lively..few things,habits but enough🌾🌾🌾
***** I'll come back after I've seen the movie. Albeit I didn't get a good first impression when I saw a montage with "I Want Candy" in the background. I mean "Really?!!"
I can understand why Marie would rather spend her time here. It looks so beautiful.
I understand too. She loves her daughter and her private life in the Petit Trianon
Elisabeth Carter I know right this is what my personal heaven would look like

i went to versailles last month.. sadly i can't visit the trianon because the weather is so cold.. but the jardin itself is so big and beautiful ❤
this scene is so relaxing
The way Rose Byrnes character reacts to the chickens being out always makes me laugh.
She must have been so comfortable in her little paradise. Je t'aime Marie.
Marie Antoinette liked to play peasant. She had no idea the hardship and hunger real peasants lived in every day.
The wording makes her sounds ignorant af when girlie wanted to live a humble life but she couldn't escape Versailles.
This is such a calming & serene scene
Her daughter did escape the guillotine and lived to be 87
She actually lived to be in her 70/
*70s
73*
Wow, I thought everyone died at 30 back then
@@strugglingcollegestudent There were many exceptions. Eleanor of Aquitane, a queen from the Middle Ages lived to be around 82 and outlived several of her children.
This is my most favorite scenes of this movie !
Look at the sky at 2:22.... jet stream lol
Nice spotting
HolisticAlchemy *Aliens confirmed.* 😂
This scenes gives me ASMR...so relaxiiiing!
Sameeeee!
Feel so sorry for the real queen
Marie Antoinette was a traitor ! She played against french ppl ! She deserved to be killed !
@@lesamisdelacuisineprovenca9534 wtf with you.
@@danielapina.1055 He's on molly
Same but I'd rather be that than be a peasant during that time.
It's weird to think that in a lot of ways if Marie Antoinette time travelled she might think we lived like royalty. Because we have plumbing, electricity, cellphones, all things that would seem magical back then.
Sure our houses might be smaller and we might not dress like her, but our quality of life at least in a first world country is arguably better than hers
She probably believed that peasants lived like this.
Didn't the people tending that area have to clean the eggs off first, before she saw what they actually looked like? Like totally curated the experience for her?
@@Dontincludeme Yes. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they did that irl back in the days.
That is the most beautiful cherub girl
Cute little French princess
Her first daughter lived into the era of photography. Too bad we dont have any pics. MA could have lived into that era had her head not come off. We could have had pics of her at a very old age.
marie therese was so adorable and beautiful, so sad about what happened to her in french revolution(her parents were executed)
In real life she didn't inherit her mother's beauty
@@strugglingcollegestudent Alright~still the little actress who played her childhood version was cute~
@@xinyisallypeng4837 yes, cute little French princess.
Marie Therese is adorable
I love the scenes of Marie/Kirsten at Petit Trianon. Such a beautiful and natural beauty compared to the gaudiness of the Court & palace.
I picture myself in this scene high on pot
Dude. Same.
Amazing
If the people of france had known about this the 'Let them eat cake' story need never have existed - her idea that their lives were so pleasant would've made them angry enough.
The lack of music and just wind and trees and nature the water the birds wow….🤩 ❤
best country side scene. Calmness
I'd like to make the apologetic excuse that the eggs were being cleaned because they knew Marie-Therese would be with her.
i.e. having one of the royal toddlers around anything that could potentially get them sick would obviously be a big no-no.
But, let's be real. It was for Marie-Antoinette and her ladies (as well as the little princess) to enjoy an idyllic lifestyle removed from reality. :/
Good point ... 2 of her children died from disease
It's just lovely seeing marie Antoinette with her child🥰
What I would give to wear that dress and raise a child in that pure heaven... Right in nature
You be willing to give up your head?
@@strugglingcollegestudent 😂😂 you got me there
Living the cottagecore dreams !
I also want my own Petit Trianon... 😭 what a heaven!
because of Marie, I really want to live in the countryside and make a farm. Use simple clothes and unite with nature. Exquisite :)
@Anna BettencourtI know that the clothes in that era were very complicated to wear, but I mean the clothes she wore that were simpler.
@Anna Bettencourt I'm talking about the clothes she's wearing in this scene, the white dress...
@@hahajikaka9453 this isn't even simple, it's like a casual wedding dress
I luv sophia Coppala
I imagine this is what heaven must be like ❤️
That kid is so adorable I also love the fact Marie and Louis have American accents while everyone else have either french or British accents this movie is pure eye candy
my favorite scene :)
I just realized that Marie Antoinette and Marie Terrese are wearing the same dress
It's not Trianon, but "les potagers de la reine" (queen's vegetable garden) in Versailles
After learning about her life, and knowing what I know about people in general, I will bet money that she never said the terrible things that they said she did. They had an agenda which was to get rid of the monarchy . The best way to do that was to make them out to be vile and insensitive. To dehumanize them as much as possible so that they could do what they did to her and the king. They did the same thing to the Russian monarchy in the early 1900s. She was naïve and didn’t see this. She didn’t stand a chance and when people have an agenda against you, they will make everything you do and say out to be so much worse than it is. I don’t agree with monarchies of course. But murder is murder. The French resistance first assassinated her character, to make the French people hate and distrust her more than they already did, because she was an outsider. Just made it easier to kill her and accomplish their agenda. She was a pawn. And because they then owned the narrative, they damned her to history as this selfish, unfeeling, bitch who watched from her golden tower as the French people starved and lost her head for it. Such bullshit. I feel for the young lady.
How right you are. She was obviously used as a scapegoat by evil people to accomplish their agenda of overthrowing the monarchy. Same thing happened in Russia.
Hiring a American actress to play a French queen who was raised in Austria
the original cottagecore
Her maids cleaning the eggs first xD
That was so funny
Im falling in love with France... ❤🇫🇷
VindaRose17 we have many treasures in france
PoorMarie Antoinette. She can't understand her daughter's language.
Lol
In real life I'm sure she could.
Marie's "little village" is properly known as Hameau de la Reine (The Queen's Hamlet). It is not the Petit Trianon (although constructed very close to it). The Petit Trianon is shown briefly at the very beginning. of this clip.
Versailles is beautiful, but if I lived there, seeing all that gold decor everyday would give me a headache. Plus, I’ve been there twice! It literally feels like you are in Belle’s village!
Me& my lil daughter ❤️
Sofine Sim awwww sweet
It makes me think of Li Ziqi who shows all the work that goes behind the "cottagecore asthetic" that Marie Antoinette loved.
i always thought this scene was satisfying
Princess Maria-Therese Charlotte was the only member of the family (I mean of the king, the queen, herself and her siblings) to survive the revolution. Sadly, she died childless.
Does someone know where I can buy her white dress please please please?
She only cared her self and the family but not the Entire Country
i love the visuals but why is her daughter speaking French when she's speaking English?
+coco cat I agree with you that sounds weird, and i thought it might been cuter if Kirsten had spoken in French only in scenes where Marie with her children. Not 100% in french of course, because that would made it looks like typical historical movie. It supposed to be Marie's loose biography with modern vibe
+coco cat i guess because since Marie Antoinette's native language was German she would have sounded different from her kids and friends and this was how that was conveyed
Because the little actress is the child of Sofia Coppola ♥ And she's too young to speak english :) (she's french)
Maëva **** but her daughter was born during this movie
I think that the child is simply a daughter of a french actor or a french child so : she wasn't able to speak english at this age :)
🌺 What book is she reading from? 🌿
It looks like painting 😮😮😮 !!
beautiful place
What an amazing movie
Is it ever so wrong to want something for yourself? ❤️
I wonder where I quote that Marie Antoinette read from the book?
Think that place was in the palace too. Right?
This's 100 time more beautiful than shopping scene..the same but the opposite;beautiful too but natural and healthy,honestly&lively..few things,habits but enough🌾🌾🌾
very relaxing
Mentally , I'm there.
I can see why Marie loved the petit Trianon over versaillles. It was paradise
Watch this movie while on lsd it’s amazing it’s perfect it’s beautiful
I haven't seen the movie but really want to after seeing this beautiful scene:) (sorry for my bad english)
Elle est trop mignon la petite 🥰🥰🥰
How was the Trinon decorated inside
There are some picutures of the inside here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petit_Trianon
I have the property finally,to be able to create this for myself and family ❤
was something wrong. why they don't like the queen and reacted in a reaction. we're they okey
Magical
I heard this movie sucked all kinds of balls ,but I like this clip
***** I'll come back after I've seen the movie. Albeit I didn't get a good first impression when I saw a montage with "I Want Candy" in the background. I mean "Really?!!"
XSiRenfieldX Also read Roger Ebert's review on this movie
At 02:22 Is that chemtrail in the sky in 1700s ?! *Aliens* confirmed. 😂😄
I didn't even notice
💝
All I could think about were tics during the parts she was walking through the grass 😂
They didn't know about Lyme's disease back then... It's surprising anyone lived at all
Love
