Château du Petit Trianon, Neoclassical castle in Versailles, France
The Petit Trianon features four distinct facades with Corinthian columns and tall windows, measuring 23 meters on each side within the Park of Versailles.
Architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel constructed the Petit Trianon between 1763 and 1768 for Madame de Pompadour, but she passed away before its completion.
The castle represents a turning point in French architecture, marking a shift from traditional Rococo designs to pure lines and geometric shapes.
The castle welcomes visitors every day except Mondays, with different seasonal hours and guided tours available in multiple languages.
Marie Antoinette received this castle as a gift from Louis XVI in 1774, transforming it into her personal refuge from court protocols.
