Petit appartement de la reine, Private royal chambers in Palace of Versailles, France.
The Petit Appartement de la Reine contains multiple rooms arranged behind the Queen's State Apartments, opening onto two interior courtyards within the Palace of Versailles.
Maria Theresa of Spain, Marie Leszczyńska, and Marie Antoinette resided in these private chambers, with each queen adding personal modifications between 1660 and 1789.
The decorative elements in these rooms display French artistry through painted ceilings, wooden panels, marble fireplaces, and furniture pieces created by master craftsmen.
The apartments include a dining room, library, and billiard room, connected by passages that allowed queens to move discretely through the palace without public attention.
A secret corridor from these chambers enabled Marie Antoinette to escape from revolutionaries who invaded Versailles on October 6, 1789.
