Just as in the gardens of the Petit Trianon Marie Antoinette was in front of their personal style. The style "Louis Seize" is mainly due to Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI there. showed little taste for fashion, architecture and other arts and Marie Antoinette had a free hand in designing their gardens and castles.
Below I give back the exuberant and slightly jealous-like description of the Prince de Ligne, the free access to the Petit Trianon and was a welcome guest at Marie Antoinette was. The description is from 1781 where the work seemed finished on the retreat and it was designed according to the request of the queen.
The gardens and the Temple
I know nothing more beautiful and better than the Successful Temple and the greenhouse. The portico and the interior of one of the other are the epitome of perfection in taste and his work. The rocks and the waterfalls will produce a splendid effect for some time, because I think the trees will grow quickly to bring all the contradictions of masonry, water and grass to advantage. The river, a little turn towards the temple making, wonderfully true to the whole, the rest of his term is hidden in the proper distribution and visible. The forests are well distributed and the other near each other to separate the items.
The cave is well managed, well located and very similar nature. The Mountains are no hats or sugar ridiculous circular buildings, is not one among them that his appearance had not yet Faramund * time as can be. The flowers are everywhere
mounts formed pleasant. I found something like a band, I think we should change it. This was the only mistake I've noticed, and this proves that, although small Trainon is made for the enthusiasm, it exerted this effect not just on me. It is not because of mere stuff, nothing eccentric, nothing bizarre, nothing but pleasant forms, completely furnished in the right proportion. Apparently, assessors and the Graces much sense to unite for the accuracy and also with all those Preferred those that they are always secure admiration.
