Question #82758. jetsetter1990 asks: How many square feet is the Petit Trianon? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- zbeckabee posts: 18,000 SQUARE FEET It has 22 rooms, 18,000 square feet of living space, a three-tier backyard, original Bruce Porter stained-glass windows, nine stone and wood carved fireplaces, four cloth-lined elevators, parking for seven cars, Baccarat crystal chandeliers and a ballroom with mirrored panels and minstrel balconies that accommodates 100 guests -- all on a half-acre lot. Le Petit Trianon, a replica of a mansion built for French King Louis XV at Versailles around 1768, is both a San Francisco and national landmark, which could explain the 30 showings it has had since it went on the market in mid-September. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2004/12/12/REGTHA83181.DTL Jul 01 07, 5:49 PM Repeat Question -- Trust me...the Petit Trianon has NOT grown or shrunk since Sunday.

You answered with the square footage of the Petit Trianon replica in San Francisco and not a very good replica at that; as far as I know they do not have the same square footage. Jul 03 07, 1:45 PM

Well, jet, zbeck did her best, but I'm not finding this information online or in my own art and architecture library. If you really want to know, I suggest that you contact the curators via the official site: http://www.chateauversailles.fr/en/122_The_Petit_Trianon.php Jul 03 07, 5:10 PM

Obviously...I did NOT do my best. Please accept my apologies...I was absolutely NOT paying attention and didn't realize I'd posted wrong information. Again, my sincere apologies! Jul 03 07, 6:49 PM

BOOK: Views and Plans of the Petit Trianon at Versailles (Hardcover) by Alain De Gourcuff (Author) I suspect you can find your answer in this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/2909838307/ref=nosim/theworldofroyalt Jul 03 07, 9:16 PM

zbeckabee it was an easy mistake to make, don't beat yourself up about it. I e-mailed the curator specifically designated to the Petit Trianon and I hope she will find an answer for me...but even then there are secret passages in the building so I don't know how accurate the estimate I receive will be. Thanks for all your help! Jul 04 07, 12:52 PM

Just so you know: "Views and Plans of the Petit Trianon" is actually a publication of late 18th-century watercolors commissioned by Marie-Antoinette and published by Alain de Gourcuff several years ago. http://www.alibris.com/search/books/qwork/7043330/used/Views%20and%20Plans%20of%20the%20Petit%20Trianon%20at%20Versailles Jul 04 07, 7:34 PM
