It was not her permanent house, it was her get-away place. Her official home was the Versailles palace. She received the Petit Trianon as a gift from Louis XVI on August 15th 1774, and she and the rest of the royal family were escorted to Paris in 1789, so she had spent 15 years enjoying her Trianon.

When did King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette die and why?
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette both died in 1793 (Louis on Januari 21st and Marie Antoinette on October 16th) on the scaffold. King Louis XVI and his wife Queen Marie Antoinette lost their monarchical power during the French Revolution. They inherited an enormous state debt (by Louis XIV and Louis XV). Also, Louis XVI was indecisive and not firm enough to rule. Radical financial reforms by Turgot and Malesherbes angered the nobles and were blocked by the parlements who insisted that the King did not have the legal right to levy new taxes. So Turgot was dismissed in 1776 and Malesherbes resigned in 1776 to be replaced by Jacques Necker. Necker supported the American Revolution, and proceeded with a policy of taking out large international loans instead of raising taxes. When this policy failed miserably, Louis dismissed him, and replaced him in 1783 with Charles Alexandre de Calonne, who increased public spending to 'buy' the country's way out of debt. Again this failed, so Louis convoked the Assembly of Notables in 1787 to discuss a revolutionary new fiscal reform proposed by Calonne. When the nobles were told the extent of the debt, they were shocked into rejecting the plan. This negative turn of events signaled to Louis that he had lost the ability to rule as an absolute monarch, and he fell into depression. The French didn't want to be ruled by monarchs anymore, but wanted to become a republic without "tyrannizing" monarchs that they thought spend all their tax money and wanted equality, and also no more nobility with all their benefits and privileges. The revolutionists captured King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, held them prisoners and eventually had them beheaded by a guillotine.

Who was the last french king and when did he die?
Officially, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. They were the last real King and Queen of France. After the Napoleonic period (who turned France into an empire), the French monarchy was restored for some time, but only as a constitutional monarchy, meaning there were a King and Queen of France, but only in name. It was purely a title and they had no real reigning power. The last king and queen of that constitutional monarchy were Louis Philippe I and Maria Amalia (Marie Antoinette's niece).
Why were there no French queens?
There were Queens, but they just didn't rule the country. Monarchy in France was always passed on from father to son, daughters were merely used as tokens of alliance between countries. Some famous French queens: Alienor d'Aquitaine, Marie Antoinette, Marie de Médicis, Joséphine de Beauharnais (technically an Empress, not a Queen)
What were the leading cause of the French Revolution?
Like Charles Dickens wrote about the French Revolution in his A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.." After the rule of King Louis XV, France was left in bad condition - bad economy, food shortages, famines -- he was one of the most hated Royals in European history. Things got worse when the throne was left to his son, King Louis XVI and his Queen Marie Antoinette. Louis XVI passed reforms but they failed and things got worse. After this, the King basically "checked out" from the day-to-day rule. Besides that, King Louis XVI was an indecisive leader and weak. The king and Marie Antoinette were teenagers and Marie was a partygirl. France was starving while Marie was throwing lavish parties and living in frivolity. This is where we get the infamous quote (although often misquoted to Marie Antoinette who didn't say it) "the peasants have no bread. Let them eat cake. Qu'ils mangent de la brioche." And in the Age of the Enlightenment, the people had enough. And it wasn't just the king of France, it was the whole House of Bourbon. Everybody was dying to the guillotine.
