Marie Antoinettes/ queens hamlet close in Dec?

Hi,



Just like to confirm if it%26#39;s true that the above mentioned places are closed in Dec?



TIA

You mean the Domaine de Marie Antoinette at Versailles?





It%26#39;ll be open, but not that much to see.

thanks for replying Franophool



I%26#39;m not sure, is that the queen%26#39;s hamlet? I just saw on their website on opening times and it seems some areas are only open from april to oct. I%26#39;m unsure of this and just wanted to confirm it.



here%26#39;s the link:

The Hamlet (Hameau de la Reine) is very cute, my favorite part indeed, but looking at the website it looks closed from November. What a pity

It%26#39;s in the last paragraph oif the page you copied.





%26quot;Trianon Palaces and Marie-Antoinette%26#39;s Estate





Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, gardens From 1 April to 31 October: Chapel, French pavilion, Belvedere, Queen%26#39;s Theatre, Temple of Love, Grotto, English garden, Dairy, the Queen%26#39;s Hamlet.%26quot;





Note the very last item mentioned, the Queen%26#39;s Hamlet. As the page says it is open from 1 April to 31 October, which means that it is closed from 1 November to 31 March, no?

No - honest!





The very last line on the web page I%26#39;m looking at (and cleared cache and reloaded) is just what I cut and pasted above...





Blinking internet can be rubbish at times, can%26#39;t it??





Thanks for the cut and paste of the extra.





Needless to say, I%26#39;m gutted, as am planning a trip out, specifically to see Le Hameau de la Reine at end of November...

Ohh dear... apologies all, got it now....





Thanks again!
