	Petit hameau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Petit hameau, the English translation of which is "Little hamlet", is sometimes called "Le Hameau de la Reine".
		The petit hameau was small, a rusticated but ultimately ersatz farm (or ferme ornee) built around a landscaped pond.
		Such model farms were fashionable among the French aristocracy at the time, and one primary purpose of the hameau was to add to the ambiance of the Petit Trianon, giving the illusion that the Trianon itself was deep in the countryside rather than within the confines of Versailles.

		The Petit Trianon, situated at a short distance from the Grand Trianon in Versailles, France, was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel by order of Louis XV for his long-term mistress, Madame de Pompadour, and was constructed between 1762-1768.

		The château of "Le Petit Trianon" is the perfect example of the transition from the Rococo style of the earlier part of the 18th century, to the more sober, but no less elegant, Neoclassical style of the 1760's onward.
