The English Garden
Sacrificing a part of the botanical garden of Louis XV, Marie-Antoinette asked her architect Richard Mique and the painter Huber Rober to create a more picturesque garden, in the English-style. It's made up of an undulating stream, punctuated with follies, lawns, perspectives and serpantine paths. |

The Queen's Hamlet
Following the example of the Prince de Condé at Chantilly, the Queen wanted her own village to provide country amusements for herself and her children. From 1782 to 1785 R. Mique built the Hamlet, in the Norman-style, taking his inspiration from the drawings of the painter H. Rober. Twelvw cottages encicled by vegetable and flower garden were originally arranged around the Grend Lac. |
