The charming Château de Bagatelle in Paris was built as a result of a famous bet in 1777 between Marie-Antoinette and her brother-in-law, the Count of Artois. The château was the last royal residence built before the revolution, and prior to being purchased in 1905 by the City of Paris, passed through the hands of many famous owners and also played host to royal engagements. It is famously known as one of Marie Antoinette's 'party palaces.'

Marie-Antoinette bet her brother-in-law, the Count of Artois, that he could not transform the former hunting lodge into a beautiful chateau in under 100 days. He did so in just 64, winning the bet and launching its storied legacy. Before it was purchased by the City of Paris in 1905, the chateau passed through the hands of many famous owners (from Napoleon to Sir Richard Wallace). It may not be Marie Antoinette’s house, but she famously partied here.
