The laiterie de Propeté (“Refreshments Dairy”) at the Petit Trianon. This was used by the Queen and her entourage to taste the milk and other products produced at the farm. Today, the exterior of the building is in poor condition and is one of the many restoration projects the chateau de Versailles hopes to undertake. It is estimated that about €600,000 is needed to restore the building. For information on how you can help fund restorations at Versailles, click here.
