Places to see in ( Versailles - France ) Hameau de Marie Antoinette
The Hameau de la Reine is a rustic retreat in the park of the Château de Versailles built for Marie Antoinette in 1783 near the Petit Trianon in Yvelines, France. It served as a private meeting place for the Queen and her closest friends, a place of leisure. Designed by the Queen's favoured architect, Richard Mique with the help of the painter Hubert Robert, it contained a meadowland with lakes and streams, a classical Temple of Love on an island with fragrant shrubs and flowers, an octagonal belvedere, with a neighbouring grotto and cascade. There are also various buildings in a rustic or vernacular style, inspired by Norman or Flemish design, situated around an irregular pond fed by a stream that turned a mill wheel.
The building scheme included a farmhouse, (the farm was to produce milk and eggs for the queen), a dairy, a dovecote, a boudoir, a barn that burned down during the French Revolution, a mill and a tower in the form of a lighthouse. Each building is decorated with a garden, an orchard or a flower garden. The largest and most famous of these houses is the Queen's House, connected to the Billiard house by a wooden gallery, at the center of the village. A working farm was close to the idyllic, fantasy-like setting of the Queen’s Hamlet.
The hameau is the best-known of a series of rustic garden constructions built at the time, notably the Prince of Condé's Hameau de Chantilly (1774–1775) which was the inspiration for the Versailles hamlet. Such model farms, operating under principles espoused by the Physiocrats, were fashionable among the French aristocracy at the time. One primary purpose of the hameau was to add to the ambiance of the Petit Trianon, giving the illusion that it was deep in the countryside rather than within the confines of Versailles. The rooms at the hameau allowed for more intimacy than the grand salons at Versailles or at the Petit Trianon.

Villa Shambhala | Dordogne | France | Oliver's Travels
Nature inspires art here at this sophisticated villa in Bordeaux. The owner has a passion for art and style, which influences every room of this 4 bedroom holiday villa. Clean, modern design beautifully highlights vintage architectural details, like the cobbled plaza and the worn wooden beams. But outside is the crown jewel - this villa overlooks the Dordogne river, and only a few steps will take you down to the riverbank.
You’ll be drawn out to look at the river and the stars by the many outdoor spaces: the courtyard, roof terrace, private river garden and the salle d'ete. A riverside stroll will put you in touch with the wildlife (you can also fish or swim). If you’re inspired by the views you’re in luck, this French villa has an art studio.
It's a scenic walk to coffee and croissant in the nearest town, Pessac. A twenty minute drive will bring you to Saint Emilion, where world class restaurants sit beside ancient ruins. Though the Bordeaux region is famous for its eponymous style of wine, the city of Bordeaux (45 km) has diverse attractions, like Musée des Beaux Arts and the Grand Théâtre, two historic temples to fine art.

Rocamadour, France 6 /13 14/ 2014
After some scenic stops we continued our drive to Rocamadour where we stayed overnight in another Best Western hotel right in the heart of the town. The village is high upon the cliffside of a gorge overlooking the Dordogne River. Pilgrims from many countries have come to this town for centuries for its sanctuary for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Some still come for that reason but this village of about 600 people is primarily dependent upon tourism these days. A unique and beautiful location.
