Pavillon frais, French garden folly in Park of Versailles, France
The Pavillon frais stands within the French garden of Petit Trianon, featuring green lattice coverings and marble elements across its 60 square meters surface.
Architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel constructed this summer dining pavilion between 1751 and 1753 for King Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour to escape court obligations.
The pavilion's architectural design integrates natural elements through carved oak panels painted in green and white, with a Languedoc marble fireplace inside.
Visitors can access the Pavillon frais through the National Museum of Versailles and Trianon palaces, as part of Marie Antoinette's Estate circuit.
The structure underwent complete reconstruction in 1984 following its 1810 demolition, with additional archaeological investigations conducted in 2006.
