Hameau de la Reine, located in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, France, was commissioned by Queen Marie Antoinette in 1783 as a rustic retreat. Designed by architect Richard Mique, this idyllic village served as a private escape from the formal court life of Versailles. The hamlet features picturesque cottages, a mill, a dairy, and a farm, all arranged around a central lake. It was intended to evoke the simplicity and charm of rural life, allowing the queen and her guests to enjoy pastoral activities in a serene environment.
