Grand appartement de la reine, Royal apartment at Palace of Versailles, France

The Queen's apartment contains seven consecutive rooms, including a guard room, antechamber, noble salon, and bedroom, arranged in a symmetrical layout with the King's apartment.

Marie Antoinette used her apartment's hidden corridor to escape during the night of October 6, 1789, when Parisian protesters entered the Palace of Versailles.

The ceremonial morning routine of the Queen took place in her bedroom, where she received ladies of the court while preparing for the day.

Visitors can access the Queen's apartment through guided tours of the Palace of Versailles, which require advance ticket purchase.

Nineteen royal children were born in the Queen's bedroom, with public audiences attending these royal births according to court protocol.
