Description

This is Marie Antoinette's replica of a Normandy village. Given the history, this was a pretty bizarre place to walk around. To quote Wikipedia:

"The queen was accused by many of being frivolous, and found herself a target of innuendo, jealousy and gossip throughout her reign. For Marie Antoinette, this farm was an escape from the mounting horror of the real world, although to the French people having a queen that pretended to be a peasant for fun only made her image worse. She reigned supreme in this small area, and even the King only went there at her invitation."
