Villa Trianon | place with historical importance

France / Ile-de-France / Rocquencourt / Boulevard Saint Antoine
 house, place with historical importance
Seeking relief from the oppressive pomps and circumstance of Palace life many notables from the French Court at Versailles built modest homes in the city of Versailles to escape. The type of house developed in response to the demands on the part of the 17th and 18th century court circle is virtually unique and has no exact parallel elsewhere in France.

Once belonging to the daughters of Louis V, then Duc de Nemours, son of Louis Phillip. Famously occupied by decorator Elsie de Wolfe from 1915 - 1950 who restored structure after years of vacancy.
