- The Queen’s Hamlet is a palace disguised as a peasant’s cottage, tucked away in the gardens of Versailles. This romantic retreat was conceived by Marie-Antoinette as a nostalgic homage to her carefree youth in Vienna. Left in ruins by the Revolution, it has now been meticulously restored to its original splendor. After 230 years, it reopens to the public as an extraordinary jewel of Versailles.

She has the last laugh. We are all still talking and fascinated by her.
The portrait of the lady with the floral straw hat is of famous portrait painter Elisabeth Vegee LeBrun who was Marie's friend and portrait painter! Elisabeth was a very popular portrait painter in Europe at that time and she was the one who influenced Marie to dress more casually in white dresses with pale blue sashes and straw hats! I'm a retired former NYC fashion illustrator who studied the history of costume from ancient Egypt up through the 20th century so I found the costumes most interesting. Also, the interior design as well.Went to the palace of Versailles decades ago, but did not see Marie's cottage there. It may be that at the time it was not shown to the public due to the disrepair! Thank you for a well done documentary!♥♥🖌🎨👗
having marie antoinettes ghost watching the workmen repair her hamlet was a good touch
Visited this place last year. The garden is huge and beautiful. Palace is magnificent.
Incredibly well done documentary just wow
I have always loved and identified with Queen Marie Antoinette since i was a very little girl. I read about her in encyclopedia as a young child. I have never stopped admiring her. I’m 63 now.
Long live the Queen
I just stumbled upon your channel. I immideately subscribed and will binge watch over the weekend.🎉
I went there for walk last year under the rain, it was so beautiful and scenic ! Will definitely return again this year to Queen’s helmet!
Sounds to me that the French people back then were Democratic. The emotionally lonely isolated Antoinette was damned if she did, damned if she didn't. It truly sucked that they killed her and others.
It was not just her it was the royal family itself that was the problem for the French people! it happens time and time again with incompatant rulers. they tried and tried, but the prople would not have it so they killed them to sate their bloodlust. its not that hard to understand.

this is a delightful, very saccharine evocation of the past
court life at Versailles.
the restoration of the hamlet must have cost a pretty penny.
a penny, that, like the money that went into fulfilling Marie-Antoinette’s fantasie,
might have been better spent elsewhere.
1:11:43 “happiness is not in the job description of the queen of France”,
or indeed of anyone in an aristocratic (or even in our own pseudo-aristocratic),
society.
what the aristocrats and upper bourgeois of 1780s France did have,
was the unbridled privilege that their wealth and connections handed them.
that is also what the new aristos of our time also have.
It was really the greed, actions and attitudes of the court aristocrats, not just the extravagance of the Royal Family that contributed to the Revolution. They deserved their downfall. Marie Antoinette, on the other hand was a scapegoat!
I agree! Even if she wasn’t queen it still would’ve happened- I blame Louis XIV and Louis XV
Theres no chance she would have liked that snot green decor at the end!
Somehow I don't think the Habsburgs was that modern either.
When I went to visit this part of the palace wasn’t offered to the public, when did they open or you have to request admission?
Marei Annette, what a exquisite woman, and Queen she was ❤ rip
Хороший документальный фильм, у нас в России его полностью перевели на русский язык. Хорошо что есть такие фильмы.
Но в этом фильме очень мало говориться про благотворительность Королевы и это печально :( Хотя фильм больше про её деревню.
No one ever tells the truth about her charity and how she was wrongly accused and blamed for everything! To this day people still spread the same old lies about her. The smear campaign they created against her has survived centuries and people don't care to know the truth. They say the same old stupidities like "Oh yes, she said let them eat cake when the peasants were starving.'' And I just want to scream!! I even produced an independent film about her, sharing some of the truth. I've studied her and the dreaded revolution for decades and been to Versailles many times. I hope one day they make a film that accurately portrays her with a much bigger budget than mine!!

All Monarchs have their own private residences. Why should not the rulers of France?
Oh for a time machine.......
That tall, high hair reminds me of the long heads; seems to be a copy.
Oui, aucun commentaire.
Whenever I have money and act too upitty, my mother starts talking about Marie Antoinette. It's supposed to frighten me that she is going to chop off my head just like the rebels decapitated Marie Antoinette. I have never in my life been as wealthy as Marie Antoinette.
Maybe you should consult with your dolls before deciding what to write in the comment section. I noticed that you decided to start fooling around on the internet before washing your panties like your mother told you. That is why she is angry with you. You have been naughty and it is time for punishment.
weird
Am I the only one thinking it's possible Marie-Antoinette was either an introvert or Neurodivergent? She loved to express herself through clothing, music dancing, theatre and nature. She wanted to be alone and far away from other people and felt like she was being watched all the time. People hated her for being different and she wanted to do things her own way and not follow the rules that felt unnecessary. She didn't understand hierarchy or authority because she didn't see people in that way. There's so much more.

Why she wanted “the poof” is beyond me. Seems like it would be very uncomfortable.
It is shameful how the bureaucrats of the EU let the history of those countries just rot. There are grand mansions , castles, and other ancient buildings that are left abandoned and locked up due to the bureaucratic mess that regime is.
The resolution of enlightenment was the foundation to which America was born. The impoverished were forced to die upon the luxuries of the monarchy. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (French,) Baron de Montesquieu (French,) and John Locke (English) being the foundation in philosophers ideas, knowledge, and thoughts which would not only strike up the birth of another nation with full support as the colonies of England rose up against their oppressional monarch with the assistance of France from the North (the new territory of Canada to which America laid wit rights to in Europe's formality as to not be a territory which to be further stolen from.) As the declaration of support in cause by one amazingly large statue of woman, with a torch in her hand to light the way and a book nestled in her arm that announced to the world the birth of a nation dictated to the cause: of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, set as the gateway to freedom as the ultimate gift of France, one Statue of Liberty to light Europe's way to their own freedom to rule over themselves without the need of a monarchy in the new age of Democracy where the people rule over themselves in the new dictation of freedom, independence, and happiness.
At video minute 00:50, your narrator claims this little village at the edge of the Versailles seems abandoned, but was in fact never populated. His next sentence he claims this little hamlet was the secret refuge of Marie Antoinette. Then the narrator claims this hamlet was the place Marie Escaped to from her life at the court of Versailles. Then the narrator claims that Marie Antoinette sought happiness here, the one thing which was forbiden to the Queen. Then you show an advertisement for a dirty toilette. Your narrator makes no sense. The music and words you chose appear chosen to provoke the viewer into a violent rage, which is against the law. And as I type, Olivia Melchior is pounding on the wall outside my kitchen window. Inciting the public to violence is a felony. This video is horrible and should be removed from the internet.
What are you babbling about? It made perfect sense to me. Just because you can't keep your emotions in check over an image doesn't make it illegal. That's not how the law works.
@@baylorsailor Incitement to violence is a felony.
you seem a angry little critic??🙂 above you mention that your mother threatens to cut your head off and now this? i think you need some pro help before your next comment 'cause this Docu is done beautifully
cliches after cliches, boring ....
This is absolutely horrible. The music is threatening. You speak of the beheadings as if that was the end of the story. You never mentioned that Jesus Christ saved Marie Antoinette. You speak of the royals as if it were a crime to be wealthy. You show images of Marie Antoinette that are not flattering. Horrid!
It couldn't have been Jesus, it must have been Willy Wonka. I know it because I saw it with my own eyes.
LOL
wow there you go again without anger management lo ! Why don't you stay away ?
