- The Queen’s Hamlet is a palace disguised as a peasant’s cottage, tucked away in the gardens of Versailles. This romantic retreat was conceived by Marie-Antoinette as a nostalgic homage to her carefree youth in Vienna. Left in ruins by the Revolution, it has now been meticulously restored to its original splendor. After 230 years, it reopens to the public as an extraordinary jewel of Versailles.

She has the last laugh. We are all still talking and fascinated by her.
@conniepenner
Marie was not - and is not - a Christian woman given to mockery. Heartfelt tears were found on her last letter to her sister - (intercepted and never delivered by Robespierre. Found among his papers years after her marryrdom.)
There is no doubt that holy prayers are still being said by good Marie for the redemption of fallen France. Those prayers will be answered.
Holy God has promised (through many seers, including the venerable French Stigmatist, Marie Julie Jahenney) - that a Holy King, a direct descendant of St Louis, Henri V, will be raised to the throne to restore Christendom in France. This will happen whether the lawless believe it or not - and whether they like it or not.🙏⚜️
I think what she really wanted a a bit of royal anonymity, like her sisters had.

The portrait of the lady with the floral straw hat is of famous portrait painter Elisabeth Vegee LeBrun who was Marie's friend and portrait painter! Elisabeth was a very popular portrait painter in Europe at that time and she was the one who influenced Marie to dress more casually in white dresses with pale blue sashes and straw hats! I'm a retired former NYC fashion illustrator who studied the history of costume from ancient Egypt up through the 20th century so I found the costumes most interesting. Also, the interior design as well.Went to the palace of Versailles decades ago, but did not see Marie's cottage there. It may be that at the time it was not shown to the public due to the disrepair! Thank you for a well done documentary!♥♥🖌🎨👗
Actually the portrait they showed was of the Duchess Polignac, painted by Elisabeth LeBrun after her own self portrait (the one you’re referring to). I was so confused by what they said, cause like you, I thought it was the LeBrun self-portrait, that I looked it up. Apparently, there are two very similar paintings, the portrait of Polignac and the self-portrait of LeBrun, both in a straw hat, and honestly, facially almost identical. Check it out:
1) Polignac Portrait en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yolande_de_Polastron
2) LeBrun Self-Portrait en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Élisabeth_Vigée_Le_Brun
having marie antoinettes ghost watching the workmen repair her hamlet was a good touch
She was in truth such a sweet introverted, creative and charming woman, born and raised and then painfully torn from a court where formality was laxer. thrown into a world where her every action has an impact, cards stacked against it.
and as any creative, the more pressure she went through, the more she escaped into dreams, projects to distract her mind.
In truth, she could have never won, she could have done everything to perfection and even that would have still backfired on her. France was at a point of no return before she even became queen.
it's such a sad paradox, the more the court disapproves of her, the more she wants to be away from them (who wouldn't) the more the stoke the flames against her and that in turn stokes the flames of the revolution.
I've always said her true character can be easily described in her last act. a heartfelt apology, made to her very executioner for accidentally stepping on his shoe.
Her only flaw was being too sweet, too sensible, too naive to survive a world of ruthless gossip and backstabbing, of false loyalties and facades that was Versalles
YEs, she met a violent end, as did her children. Tragic. Yet her "let's play poor" village = hard to take. Even posthumously. I can see a commemoration in text. However, spending money to restore the hamlet village is just...I don't know...
I have always loved and identified with Queen Marie Antoinette since i was a very little girl. I read about her in encyclopedia as a young child. I have never stopped admiring her. I’m 63 now.
Long live the Queen
I'm 59 & Have Always Admired Her Too!❤😊
Am I the only one thinking it's possible Marie-Antoinette was either an introvert or Neurodivergent? She loved to express herself through clothing, music dancing, theatre and nature. She wanted to be alone and far away from other people and felt like she was being watched all the time. People hated her for being different and she wanted to do things her own way and not follow the rules that felt unnecessary. She didn't understand hierarchy or authority because she didn't see people in that way. There's so much more.
She was young and didn't care political views or standards. I agree with everything you said but she was damn lucky to actually have the financial means to create beautiful life
If you can, read Antonia Fraser's bio of her and how she was basically a child sacrifice to the political objectives between the two major Catholic parties.
She had her own ideas and when she got to court, she was CONSTANTLY in trouble, especially with her corsetry.
Not everyone has a mental disorder. She felt watched all the time because she was...
Visited this place last year. The garden is huge and beautiful. Palace is magnificent.
Five years ago, I had the pleasure of a return visit to France along with my daughter and her family. On this trip we visited the Palace of Versailles and included the Trianon and the hamlet. It was fabulous. Loved seeing it again. Beautiful documentary.
Incredibly well done documentary just wow
I can't get enough of this documentary, seriously I've watched it like 10 times already lol.
🤣🤣🤣 It is a great film indeed!

Adore Beautiful,lovely🇫🇷💜
It reminds me of the Taj Mahal. All flowers too..dedicated to Love💙
I went there for walk last year under the rain, it was so beautiful and scenic ! Will definitely return again this year to Queen’s helmet!
I read Caroline Weber' book, Queen of Fashion. Outstanding. I recommend it highly.
Thank You!❤😊
Marei Annette, what a exquisite woman, and Queen she was ❤ rip
RIP!❤😊
Beautiful documentary! Thank you 🎉
I just stumbled upon your channel. I immideately subscribed and will binge watch over the weekend.🎉
Extraordinary . Thank you
THANK YOU so much!
It’s sad losing your mom. Birth of two children. The 2nd a boy. 3 years to complete her village. She wanted peace. Anybody could see this. Yes. True. Her count is in the past. Wow! 150 years old. Wow! Different styles. Restoring her buildings. That’s great!
I’m an American with some French ancestry, this story makes me want to cry. So much sadness.
So well done and interesting.
Fabulous!
Amazing documentary, I absolutely love history specially period of the Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, such a tragic end. Unnecessary but due to the time 1793 it was seen as only way. I wish there would be more such a great documentaries. Thank you so much
Loved the video. I had no idea how capable she was. When I visited it was all about the Sun King. Nice to see her get some attention too
WONDERFUL!! 🎉 ❤DOCUMENTARY!!
Fantastic documentary!
I believe that her village should be repaired. After all it was designed to favor non-aristocrat buildings, the buildings of that time period. It’s a part of who she was internally. I believe if she had unlimited money but was “normally” non-royal she would have loved to live in a village such as this one. I don’t believe she was taught by her mother how to be a wife, a queen or mother. The people hated her for her excessive spending but I truly believe that she didn’t know any better. It’s really such a sad story. If u think of past monarchs throughout history from all over Europe if they had been better with money and used it to help their people how much better of a world we all would have been in.
It is being restored - as seen in the documentary. I’ve visited recently. It’s beautiful.
Sounds to me that the French people back then were Democratic. The emotionally lonely isolated Antoinette was damned if she did, damned if she didn't. It truly sucked that they killed her and others.
It was not just her it was the royal family itself that was the problem for the French people! it happens time and time again with incompatant rulers. they tried and tried, but the prople would not have it so they killed them to sate their bloodlust. its not that hard to understand.
@@priestessmikokikyo77
Yes, they were out for blood, and they got it.
Demonic public not Democratic!!
It STILL is democratic and fabulous!!!
Loved it!! Thanks
These people were nothing more than fashionistas, while the masses went starving.
Does this sound like today when the masses gawk at entertainers?
Like so many women of her time she was simply a pawn in a game of power and riches of men. I find it so crazy that while women couldn't have ownership of anything in those times they could also be then strapped with the fault for all the problems and tossed away as if it solved the issues of a monarchy. I'm glad we have come far but so much farther to go. Amazing documentary!
It's like a dream. I could so understand her desire to escape.
I think I understand Marie Antoinette. She wants a natural retreat of peace and tranquility. Somewhere to relax and be calm within and without. Louie was more rigid and fixed in his garden decorating. Not that I would have gotten rid of all those unusual plants. I would have put them some where else. Marie saw the palace as being stuffy and old fashioned. Yes she did not please her people which ended up being the death of her. She was a young woman and she didn’t realize she was over spending. Louie didn’t stop her so it’s not entirely her fault. She thought she had an endless supply of money. Which they didn’t. She spent money to escape her reality. I don’t think her opinion changed until she had her children.
The cars were awsome so was the home thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely the BEST documentary I have ever seen of Marie Antoinette! Exceptional!
Thank you so much. ❤
Agreed!❤😊
Agreed!!❤😊
Theres no chance she would have liked that snot green decor at the end!
Versaille is the most beautiful place i have ever been
Love thiss
a Meissen porcelain doll
trapped in a web not of her own making...(edit)
this is a delightful, very saccharine evocation of the past
court life at Versailles.
the restoration of the hamlet must have cost a pretty penny.
a penny, that, like the money that went into fulfilling Marie-Antoinette’s fantasie,
might have been better spent elsewhere.
1:11:43 “happiness is not in the job description of the queen of France”,
or indeed of anyone in an aristocratic (or even in our own pseudo-aristocratic),
society.
what the aristocrats and upper bourgeois of 1780s France did have,
was the unbridled privilege that their wealth and connections handed them.
that is also what the new aristos of our time also have.
They set the queen. Up
She must have enjoyed her own privacy.
Somehow I don't think the Habsburgs was that modern either.
The son died. How very sad. Did those people have any sympathy at all? They wanted her to be dressed in jewels yet they hated her for it.
Why on earth is she addressed at Marieann toinette.
instead of Marie Antoinette two distintive and seperate names!
Its so tedoious and annoying to hear the Narrator address her name as Marianne toinette.
Is it a deliberate act to slay her more,and denigrate her name and tarnish her so after 200 years!
Let her have some dignity and respect.
The character assassination is so inbred that she was some kind of monster worse than another evil queen, and Catherine de Medici.
In fact, she was a sweet woman.
When young she loved frivolity, dancing, gambling, clothes and parties as she was very lively.
As she become a mother she matured but the antics of her youth got her into trouble.
She was ravaged deliberately the revolution and the courtiers for everything that France had the misfortune to happen.
Times were changing as did the thinking of monarchy and liberalism etc.
The character assassination that was heaped on this poor persecuted queen is horrendous and diabolical.😢
When I went to visit this part of the palace wasn’t offered to the public, when did they open or you have to request admission?
Мария Антуанетта 😢❤❤❤
Oh for a time machine.......
No one will ever truly understand Marie Antoinette unless you have an eccentric mind Ike her I have that kind of mind that no one understand I create my own world to scape reality the world are full of chaos and people that love gossip which for me a waste of time I enjoy a world away from this negative world and created my own even from imagination and put every thing in paper and apply every thing on my home creating my little world away from reality a world far from the world I wanted and visualize As I watch this video I told my self this is me Marie Antoinette a person misunderstood hated by the masses because they don't understand what truly she was
I actually got upset during the opening of the Olympics showing her head cut off. I read a bio of her and feel sorry for her.
@@annarowden9457 me too, I did not like that opening number I knew it was Marie Antoinette the exact symbolism of it I still don't understand is she a sacrifice? The intense red dress sprouting blood and the heavy metallic music seem associated with demonic ritual , Marie Antoinette was beheaded for an accusation base on gossip she was not given a fare trial like The Tsar of Russia and Anastasia was murdered and was not given fare justice Let"s pray for the souls of these Royals may they have a better place in the kingdom of our Lord
I doubt that she was cheating on Louie even if she loved some one else. She probably had to make appointments just to see louie(the king).
the people understandably saw this as a mockery of their own hard lives. I don't think she knew any better but was like a child. A giant doll house to play at being a normal peasant within.
Also I know the " let them eat cake " was reported but unproven and thought to be a myth. I wonder myself if she meant give them the cakes form the palace to eat that day . It may not have been as insensitive as her unpopularity spun it
Хороший документальный фильм, у нас в России его полностью перевели на русский язык. Хорошо что есть такие фильмы.
Но в этом фильме очень мало говориться про благотворительность Королевы и это печально :( Хотя фильм больше про её деревню.
No one ever tells the truth about her charity and how she was wrongly accused and blamed for everything! To this day people still spread the same old lies about her. The smear campaign they created against her has survived centuries and people don't care to know the truth. They say the same old stupidities like "Oh yes, she said let them eat cake when the peasants were starving.'' And I just want to scream!! I even produced an independent film about her, sharing some of the truth. I've studied her and the dreaded revolution for decades and been to Versailles many times. I hope one day they make a film that accurately portrays her with a much bigger budget than mine!!

All Monarchs have their own private residences. Why should not the rulers of France?
Whenever I have money and act too upitty, my mother starts talking about Marie Antoinette. It's supposed to frighten me that she is going to chop off my head just like the rebels decapitated Marie Antoinette. I have never in my life been as wealthy as Marie Antoinette.
Maybe you should consult with your dolls before deciding what to write in the comment section. I noticed that you decided to start fooling around on the internet before washing your panties like your mother told you. That is why she is angry with you. You have been naughty and it is time for punishment.
weird

The hairdos were wild! Talk about the original beehive. The pouf! Wow! No wonder all the men looked shorter then the women. She could have coiffed herself made herself clean and not wore her jewels. She could have put them away until the economy has built up.
Oui, aucun commentaire.
Wait ✋️
a 14 and 15 yr old are living and running VERSAILLES!!! WHAAAAT 😮
Pls renew her cottage pls

That tall, high hair reminds me of the long heads; seems to be a copy.
Can’t win for not losing, eh?
Why she wanted “the poof” is beyond me. Seems like it would be very uncomfortable.
It is shameful how the bureaucrats of the EU let the history of those countries just rot. There are grand mansions , castles, and other ancient buildings that are left abandoned and locked up due to the bureaucratic mess that regime is.
She is my descendant ❤

There’s nothing wrong with how she dressed that’s silly.
The resolution of enlightenment was the foundation to which America was born. The impoverished were forced to die upon the luxuries of the monarchy. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (French,) Baron de Montesquieu (French,) and John Locke (English) being the foundation in philosophers ideas, knowledge, and thoughts which would not only strike up the birth of another nation with full support as the colonies of England rose up against their oppressional monarch with the assistance of France from the North (the new territory of Canada to which America laid wit rights to in Europe's formality as to not be a territory which to be further stolen from.) As the declaration of support in cause by one amazingly large statue of woman, with a torch in her hand to light the way and a book nestled in her arm that announced to the world the birth of a nation dictated to the cause: of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, set as the gateway to freedom as the ultimate gift of France, one Statue of Liberty to light Europe's way to their own freedom to rule over themselves without the need of a monarchy in the new age of Democracy where the people rule over themselves in the new dictation of freedom, independence, and happiness.
I am angry
😂😂😂❤
At video minute 00:50, your narrator claims this little village at the edge of the Versailles seems abandoned, but was in fact never populated. His next sentence he claims this little hamlet was the secret refuge of Marie Antoinette. Then the narrator claims this hamlet was the place Marie Escaped to from her life at the court of Versailles. Then the narrator claims that Marie Antoinette sought happiness here, the one thing which was forbiden to the Queen. Then you show an advertisement for a dirty toilette. Your narrator makes no sense. The music and words you chose appear chosen to provoke the viewer into a violent rage, which is against the law. And as I type, Olivia Melchior is pounding on the wall outside my kitchen window. Inciting the public to violence is a felony. This video is horrible and should be removed from the internet.
What are you babbling about? It made perfect sense to me. Just because you can't keep your emotions in check over an image doesn't make it illegal. That's not how the law works.
@@baylorsailor Incitement to violence is a felony.
you seem a angry little critic??🙂 above you mention that your mother threatens to cut your head off and now this? i think you need some pro help before your next comment 'cause this Docu is done beautifully
cliches after cliches, boring ....
This is absolutely horrible. The music is threatening. You speak of the beheadings as if that was the end of the story. You never mentioned that Jesus Christ saved Marie Antoinette. You speak of the royals as if it were a crime to be wealthy. You show images of Marie Antoinette that are not flattering. Horrid!
It couldn't have been Jesus, it must have been Willy Wonka. I know it because I saw it with my own eyes.
LOL
wow there you go again without anger management lo ! Why don't you stay away ?
@@augustosolari7721tres bien, 😂
It was really the greed, actions and attitudes of the court aristocrats, not just the extravagance of the Royal Family that contributed to the Revolution. They deserved their downfall. Marie Antoinette, on the other hand was a scapegoat!
I agree! Even if she wasn’t queen it still would’ve happened- I blame Louis XIV and Louis XV
Interesting
