The Grand Trianon, Louis XIV's pink marble palace, Marie Antoinette's Petit Trianon and her Hameau, a village of cottages with a kitchen garden, farm and pond that the queen had built to play at country life. It is about a 25-minute walk from the palace, through the park.

The Trianon ticket costs €15 and does not include the palace; the Passeport includes both. Open from 12:00 to 17:30 in low season and closed on Mondays. Under-18s and EU residents under 26 get in free, with a booking.
Getting around
If you are with small children, the park's little train stops at Trianon and saves the walk; it runs every day except Mondays. Bikes can be hired at Petite Venise, next to the Grand Canal.
