Queen Marie’s story is the story of the European (Romanian) end of the XIX century, and the beginning of the XX-th, first World War, the Russian revolution and the mapping of the continent; even the American continent is present, by the story of one of Queen Marie’s friends, col. Joseph Boyle.

Visit Peles, the most beautiful royal palace in Europe. Ludwig’s alone may bring about the same fairy-tale atmosphere. Visit Pelisor, the decoration of which was designed by Queen Marie in the Art Nouveau style. The custodians report a faint smell of violets whenever the ghost of the queen returns to the nest of so many loving memories.

Lunch in the precincts of the royal palaces. Weather permitting proceed along the “Queen’s way”, to the lofty, remote hunting lodge – site of secret, sentimental escapades (Stana regala).

After a night in Sinaia, visit castle Bran – her summer-residence since 1921 and site of poetic reveries; the queen restored the castle into a romantic, fairy-tale habitat. Mircea, her 4-year old son was buried in the chapel. Across a river, in a shrine set in the wall of a mountain, lies Queen Marie’s heart. Remember to bring a flower.
