Went to the ch芒teau de Versailles
Photo 1: the Orangery built under Louis XIV to try to grow oranges and lemons. At the time, they were luxury fruits because they were not grown in France. They continue the tradition of keeping them under cover in winter and taking them out in summer. Some trees are over 200 years old!
Photo 2 : Look at the difference size between the golf cart and the trees !!!!
Photo 3, 4, 5 : The Grand Trianon marble colonnade and detail of the curtains.
Photo 6 : The Petit Trianon
Photo 7 : Cedre du Liban over 30 meters high and planted in 1840
Photo 8 : more garden
Photo 9 : Le Hameau de la Reine, Marie Antoinette safe heaven
Photo 10 : Temple de l'Amour / Temple of love 馃槏

A pair of footstools created for the salon de la maison du seigneur at the Hameau de La Reine, under Marie-Louise, in 1812. The seats were part of a seat including a sofa, two berg猫res, eight armchairs, twelve chairs and a fireplace screen. The footstools were set to be auctioned but it appears they have been preemptively taken off the block.

N潞 19
She's shimmering, solar. Wind in her hair, flowers in her hand, she stops on her way to close her eyes and smile into the veil-fine spring rain. But make no mistake, her glossy hair isn't wind-swept and her bouquet of flowers is wrapped in cellophane. The fine rain doesn't melt the powder off her cheeks or her carefully applied lipstick. She's light, delicate, but always beyond elegant, put together and graceful. And while she's warm and gentle, you mostly experience her at arm's length, with an unspoken distance. She's aloof without being unkind about it, but you have to dare to step to her level, or you're stuck admiring her from afar, wishing you could be the sole focus of her joy, her shimmer, her blossoming flowers and butter-soft, sweet leather.
N潞 19 Poudr茅
She's lovely, darling, docile. A princess drawn in pastels, rococo in the sense that she's blossoming and nature-loving without leaving the creamy confines of powders and gilded frames. A modern version of the Hameau de la Reine. Her light steps dance over fresh cut grass, but she's always wearing silk stockings. Her dress is shimmering green, rustling silk. She's too darling, her eyes too innocent for you to squeeze her waist, but she'll giggle and let you get away with it, hiding her face in the crook of your neck. Again, we have that joy and esprit, but kept elegant. Except instead of leather bags and Mrs Dalloway-esque elegance, we have a little coquette who is, well. Powdered.

Could you recommend me a fragrance/cologne (preferably green) for a pansexual guy who likes being a drama queen?
a scent for a literal drama queen (inspired by marie antoinette's gardens), hameau de la reine by historiae is very very green: tomato and fig leaf, ivy, vetiver, and various florals.
another option is you or someone like you by 茅tat libre d'orange, the enfants terribles of the fragrance world: mint, citrus, anise, green notes, and musk.
from montale, known for their intense fragrances, fantastic basilic: a fresh spicy, aromatic and green fragrance built around basil.
finally, basilico & fellini by vilhelm parfumerie: also featuring basil, but this time paired with pitaya, fig, violet, grass & hay notes, and vetiver.
hang out with me! send me asks about anything

The cottage orne sounds very Marie-Antoinette.
Maybe. It's certainly part of a similar rustic, back-to-nature movement as the Hameau de la Reine, although I'm not sure the dates quite line up for both.
I had some people tell me that, in the UK, larger country homes called "cottages" are called so in contrast to like...vast manor houses and such. Which I guess makes sense, and which is harder to value-judge than, say, houses in Newport, Rhode Island being called "cottages," if that's just the way language evolved there.
(although I think, at least, the use of the term in Newport has always firmly ironic. nobody, then or now, could possibly call The Breakers a cottage in earnest:
(Newport mansions were basically hotels. private hotels for the families' guests. they were event venues first and foremost, as I understand it. I cannot imagine them feeling homey, even as someone who likes Big Victwardian Houses. but I digress)
so yeah, there may be some overlap in philosophy between cottages ornes and the Hameau de la Reine. also what people call "cottages" has clearly varied wildly throughout history, and can be very context-dependent
(and complicating matters further is my deep uncertainty about what exactly Cottagecore means. I've always interpreted it as like. "oh we live in a medium-sized country house in the UK, with a flower and herb garden and two cats, and own a tea shop in the cute little nearby village!!!" but some people apparently use it for a romanticized view of like...subsistence farming? and homesteading?)

What do you think about the Petit Trianon not being fully restored to Marie Antoinette鈥檚 time? I personally dislike the times of du Barry, Marie-Louise, etc. being respected.
If we're talking about how the Queen's House at the hameau de la reine was done--with various 19th century interiors put in with the 18th century--then I hate it and NGL, I sometimes think the Chateau de Versailles team regrets it.
They were initially going to restore one of the other Hameau interior building interiors to Empire era because that's all they had concretely for the interior, and then they scrapped it, and just did a general 18th century interior in line with the Queen's House interiors. That's what I think they should have done for the other rooms at the Hameau, personally.
