Read the full account

Versailles’s Petit Trianon pages print a 1774 gift of the estate to the queen, who used it for gardens, interior patronage, and later the Hameau. Later tourist visits are not 1774. This is not stored as a unique cause of the monarchy’s fiscal crisis.

Context

Architects, gardeners, and named favourites share the works. Luxury-display readings belong in later image rows (necklace), not as a invented budget series on this gift.

Marie-Antoinette’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

Lived 1755–1793; queen consort from 1774. Cake is a later slogan, not a sourced utterance. The Diamond Necklace is allegation and image. Fiscal crisis is not stored as her unique coefficient. Complex contribution is required.

What the sources establish

Versailles Trianon and the palace biography independently describe the 1774 grant.

Established: 1774 grant in the palace file. Not established: a unique deficit coefficient from Trianon works.

Marie-Antoinette did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act.
