- Petit Trianon dining room
Paintings for the dining room were executed in 1769, and Louis XV first dined there in September 1769 on a crimson damask armchair.
Moisson was painted in 1769 by Lagrenée, showing Ceres and King Triptolème teaching how to grow wheat. A fourth painting, by Hallé, depicting La Vendange and the triumph of Bacchus, was criticized and temporarily replaced by a work by Pierre on the same theme. King Louis XV dined for the first time in this dining room in September 1769, on a crimson Genoa damask armchair surrounded by around twenty chairs.
