Some detractors say, Marie Antoinette would have avoided the hunting or even refused to be not the "dirty finger" to make.
It is true that wild and dangerous hunts, where it again and again in serious injuries to drivers, hunters and bystanders were not popular with Marie Antoinette were. It helped immediately with injuries that were unfortunately very common and often provided first aid. The list of deaths due to hunting in France is long and very prominent.
This does not mean that Marie Antoinette did not perform the hunting craft, but she liked to stay at a safe distance and accompanied the hunting party with a small carriage which they drew themselves or on horseback.
The hunt was much more difficult for women, the demands to meet in women's saddle with a living target muzzle great skill and practice. In the happy youth by Marie Antoinette in Vienna, the attached portrait was the fashionable hunting costume with whip and riding gloves. In Schönbrunn are still the precious hunting rifles by Marie Antoinette and her older sisters. Wild boar in the 18th Century in Austria considered as a pest and hunted mercilessly. The Sisters of Marie Antoinette, Anna Maria or Marie Christine brought together in a single season ever in 1000 kills. The meat was for sale in the winter for the hungry people in Vienna, welcome and good value.
The royal hunt in France was a great privilege and who could participate, was in favor of the king considered high. The royal hunt was a representative Commitment and Louis XVI. turned it into his private pleasure.
sociable supper at the end of the hunt, as with Louis XV. usual, were the young Louis and so contrary to the king remained a few confidants among themselves.
