    Before there was a Petit Trianon there was a Grand Trianon. Septimus and Clara Miller only collected one card of the Grand Trianon - a retreat for built for Louis XIV set in its own parklands within the Versailles complex.

    Louis XIV wanted a place where he and his 'maîtresse en titre' of the time, the marquise de Montespan could take light meals (collations) away from the strict étiquette of the Court with his friends.

    The 'maîtresse-en-titre' was the title of the chief mistress of the king of France.

    Construction of the Grand Trianon began in 1670 and was finished in 1672. The Commission was entrusted to the architect Jules Hardouin Mansart.

    These days it is one of the French Republic presidential residences used to host foreign officials.

    The card was published by MME MOREAU ÉDITEUR, VERSAILLES.
