About this Item

Print on Demand. Two friends recount their unsettling experience visiting the Petit Trianon, a small chateau on the grounds of Versailles once favored by Marie Antoinette. Their separate accounts detail inexplicable sights and sounds, including encounters with strangely dressed individuals and an overwhelming sense of melancholy that permeates the very air. Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand their unnerving encounter, the friends embark on a meticulous investigation, meticulously combing through historical records and meticulously comparing their experiences to documented accounts of the era. Their research uncovers fascinating details about the chateau's history, including the presence of a long-forgotten plough and the specific uniforms worn by the guards during Marie Antoinette's time.
