Of all the Queens of France, Marie-Antoinette is no doubt the most beloved and the most hated. This exuberant Austrian was very young when she married Louis XVI, heir to the throne of France. Marie-Antoinette was not used to the icy etiquette at Versailles, and she took refuge at the Petit Trianon and spent a fortune even though the royal treasury was in very bad shape! From the splendours of the court of Versailles to the torments of the French Revolution, this book enables young people to discover the history of the last great Queen of France.
