Je vais finir par connaitre le château de Versailles mieux que mon propre quartier à Paris.
J’ai eu le plaisir d’y faire deux nouvelles visites. La première dans les coulisses de l’Opéra du Château de Versailles, la seconde en pleine nuit dans les jardins du Petit Trianon.
Il y avait une ambiance très différentes à chaque fois, mais tout aussi magique !
Je vous invite à prendre place sur un siège de l’Opéra et d’y imaginer un ballet de Gluck, puis de me suivre à travers les chemins du Hameau de la Reine sur les traces des fantômes du petit Trianon !

I will maybe soon know Versailles better than my own neighborhood in Paris.
I was pleased to make two new visits there. The first was at the Opera of Chateau de Versailles, the second at night in the gardens of the Petit Trianon.
Each visit had a atmosphere of its own, but just as magical! I invite you to sit on on chair of the Opera and to imagine a Gluck ballet on the scene, then follow me through the paths of the Hameau de la Reine in the footsteps of ghosts of the Petit Trianon!

La deuxième visite était bien plus étrange que la première, et surtout peu commune. Nous avons suivi notre guide à travers les jardins du petit Trianon, Alors que le soleil était en train de se coucher peu à peu, et qu’il allait bientôt faire nuit noire.
D’un chemin à l’autre, nous avons refait le parcours de Miss Moberly et Miss Jourdain, les deux Anglaises connues pour avoir eu des visions en ces lieux en 1901 ( Marie Antoinette, et d’autres personnages décédés depuis bien longtemps ).
Je ne sais que penser de ces histoires, mais l’expérience m’a donné des frissons! Il est rare de pouvoir profiter d’un Versailles vide la nuit, avec toutes ses ombres inquiétantes sous la lumières de nos lampes de poche et ses bruits nocturnes. C’était également impressionnant de diner dans la salle à manger de Marie Antoinette, à l’intérieur de la maison principale du hameau.
En rentrant chez moi j’ai bien bien du mal à m’endormir tant j’avais peur qu’un fantôme sorte du placard !

The second visit was much stranger than the first, and more unusual. We followed our guide through the gardens of the Petit Trianon, As the sun was about to lie.
On the way to the other, we walked on the exact same paths of Miss Moberly and Miss Jourdain, the two English women known for the visions they had in these places, in 1901 ( Marie Antoinette herself, and others ).
I don’t know what to think about these stories, but the experience gave me chills!
It is quite rare to enjoy an empty Versailles at night, with its ominous shadows in the light of our flashlights and its night sounds. It was also really impressive to have diner in Marie Antoinette’s dining room, inside the main house of the Hameau.
When I got back home I really had trouble falling asleep as I was afraid a ghost would come out of the closet!

Tes photos sont très belles et les deux visites ont dû être très intéressantes ! L’Opéra est splendide (un opéra-théâtre est très souvent beau d’ailleurs !) et le hameau de la reine est un lieu qui doit t’emmener dans un compte de fées ! J’ai fait un article sur les plus beaux jardins pour le boulot récemment, et j’ai aimé apprendre des choses sur Versailles. Le must serait que je le visite un jour :)
Bises et merci pour tes photos qui me permettent un peu de le visiter en attendant d’y aller vraiment un jour !

It’s funny to read your experience Alix!
I’m from Brazil, but I’ve been to Chateau de Versailles in February.
When I came back to Brazil I showed all the pics to my mum and she just said:
“It’s amazing and very beautiful, but I realli would be afraid of stay alone in this place.”
hahaha
and all the photos were took on the afternoon..
so, imagine during the night! hahha
I really love your photos! It could be my dream to learn how to take pics as you do.
XxxxxxXXX
Congrats!

Dinner in the Queen’s house at the Hameau must have been so magical. As an 18th century daydreaming princess that’s a dream I’ll probably never see come to light. The Petit Trianon and Hameau are so very dear to me. Spent most of the summer of 2011 there, even attended the masked ball in July. It was so heavenly. You are extremely lucky to have gained the access you did. I’ll be back this March for a visite privilege of the PT and Queens theater…such a lovely lovely place. Your photos are stunning and they truly capture that fairytale essence that is the Domain of Marie Antoinette.
