Who wouldn't want a palace to escape from their... other palace? Marie-Antoinette's exquisite private estate was a refuge from the courtly responsibilities she endured up at the Palace of Versailles, and it's just as pristine and beautiful now as it was in the queen's day. Visitors to Marie-Antoinette's Estate can explore the Petit Trianon, Marie-Antoinette's grand house, which is furnished today much as it was in the 18th century. There are also manicured, English-style gardens, and a picturesque Normandy village to explore, complete with a vineyard, farm and vegetable garden.

When they're not strolling the oak, fir, maple and cedar-lined pathways, visitors can enjoy flowering meadows, wooded areas, fountain pavilions, ponds, cycle paths, and lots of quiet nooks and crannies.
