# Louis XVI grants the Petit Trianon to the queen in 1774 as a completed household-and-patronage estate

Date: 1774

## The fact

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.

It is one event.

## 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](/people/marie-antoinette)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Lived 1755–1793; queen consort from 1774. Household officers, Austrian diplomats, the king, and later Revolutionary clerks share the file. 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.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

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

Official or archival record: Château de Versailles — Petit Trianon (https://en.chateauversailles.fr/discover/estate/estate-trianon/petit-trianon; Établissement public du château, du musée et du domaine national de Versailles).

## Significance

A completed royal estate used for decorative and garden patronage is a cultural-access path of medium confidence, not a ministry of culture.

## What is established and what is not

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

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Marie-Antoinette.

They are not a public rating.

Marie-Antoinette did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not merge with the Diamond Necklace allegation. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Marie-Antoinette.
