In this luxuriant place, in 1670, the king Alone Louis Her Vau entrusts to build one "house to make you snack", whether to run away with the family away from the label and from the works of the power.
It is only the beginning of the development of the area as buen regal retiro. In 1687, the same sovereign makes to build the "small building of marble and porfido with delicious gardens", subsequently denominated the Grand Trianon; almost one century later, from 1763 to 1768, it is the time of the Petit Trianon, wanted by Louis XV on pressures of his/her favorite, the lady of Pompadour; in 1776, Marie Antoinette makes you take back the jobs: English garden, temple of the love, theater, picturesque village around a pond, the Hameaus de the Reine, the Regina's Suburb, where the sovereign one plays to be a shepherdess.
