Answer: Marie Antoinette and Louise XVI had four children, one of whom survived to adulthood.
Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was the eldest child. She was titled Madame Royale. She survived the Revolution, married to become the duchesse d'Angouleme and lived to see the reigns of her uncles Louis XVIII and Charles X. She had no children.

Louis-Joseph Xavier Francois, Dauphin of France (October 22, 1781–June 4, 1789) was the second child and first son. He died at the age of eight years old.

Louis XVII of France, also Louis VI of Navarre (March 27, 1785 – June 8, 1795), from birth to 1789 known as Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy; then from 1789 to 1791 as Louis-Charles, Dauphin of Viennois; and from 1791 to 1793 as Louis-Charles, Prince Royal of France. He was the poor little boy who was mistreated in prison, and died there.

Here's a nice site about her children, with pictures:

Marie Antoinette's sons died before they could have children, and only the one daughter lived - but she had no children, so there is no direct bloodline.
Anymore~Marie Antoinette
