A farm fit for a Queen, Versailles, France. Queen's Hamlet at the Palace of Versailles is an idealized slice of rural life, crafted in 1783 for Marie-Antoinette as an escape from the pressures of royal life.

It's quite a hike from the main palace, but in beautiful weather there's not a better way to spend the day. Next visit, though, I'm going to rent a bicycle to save time and spare my feet.
