During her life at Versailles, Marie Leczinska lived in the grand apartment de la reine, to which she annexed the Salon of Peace to serve as a music room.
History
In 1770, when the Austrian archduchess Maria Antonia married the dauphin, later Louis XVI, she took up residence in these rooms. Upon Louis XVI's ascension to the throne in 1774, Marie-Antoinette ordered major redecoration of the grand appartement de la reine. At this time, the queen's apartment achieved the arrangement that we see today (Verlet, 1985).
The Queen's State Apartment The Queens State Apartment is symmetrical and runs parallel to the King's State Apartment. It was originally composed of the same number of rooms.
