Petit Trianon: The French Pavilion RL

The French Pavilion ( le pavillon franais ) which now stands as the central gem of the Petit Trianons formal French Gardens was actually completed in 1750, a few years prior to the building of the Petit Trianon itself.
Designed by the Louis XVs chief architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel at the instigation of Madame Pompadour this miniature palace was intended as a summer gaming/dining room. Thirty years later, Marie Antoinette would also use it for private concerts given by lantern light.
Thanks, I'm glad that you like it! I'll talk about building scale in the other thread
