My sister and I will be in Paris in September and would like to visit The Queen’s Hamlet (Marie Antoinette’s farm) at Versailles. We have visited the Palace before so to avoid the crowds at the main entrance of the Palace is there an entrance near the Queen’s Hamlet we can go directly to? I believe we can purchase the 12 euro ticket online for that particular area but just not sure how to get there. Also, is there a train station close to the Queen’s Hamlet, rather then getting off at the Chateau rive Gauche train station or the Chateau Versailles Rive Droite train station. Many thanks for any assistance!

There is an entrance to the grounds called Porte St. Antoine. If you google it, you will say that entrance and road, which runs right along the grounds of the Hamlet. The grounds are free.
You will need to pay to enter the Petite Trianon, which is where you enter to access the Hamlet. On the map, the entrance is right next to Angelina’s.
The Rive Droite station is closest to that entrance.

Thank you so much for your information! I googled the Saint Antoine Entrance and its perfect for entering into the Hamlet. So that is what we will do and save us going through the Palace. Thank you again for your valuable advice!
