Personal story

After a first visit in the snow, my wife, Margherita, and I decided to come back a few days later to visit the Palace gardens. Our passion for the Palace and the life of Marie-Antoinette has grown since we began taking part in costumed historical reconstitutions from the second half of the 18^th century. So we didn’t come to the Petit Trianon by chance, it was Queen Marie-Antoinette’s most intimate space. We also went to the basilica of the Kings of France in Saint-Denis to place a rose on the Queen’s tomb. We had to do it, I felt like I was reliving a scene from a past life.

Our dream is to come to Versailles for a visit in historical costumes. Late on we’ll come back with our two daughters to explain to them why the Palace is so important to us.
