Program & Itinerary
Discover the Palace of Versailles
The Palace of Versailles is one of Europe’s most spectacular royal residences, created during the reign of Louis XIV as the political and ceremonial heart of the French monarchy. On your guided visit, you explore signature spaces such as the King’s Apartments, the Queen’s Apartments and the world‑famous Hall of Mirrors, where mirrors, chandeliers and painted ceilings glorify the power of the Sun King.
Explore the Versailles Gardens
Step outside into the vast formal gardens designed by landscape architect André Le Nôtre, stretching over hundreds of hectares. You’ll stroll past fountains, statues, tree‑lined avenues and hidden groves that became the model for royal gardens across Europe, with the chance in spring and summer to experience the Musical Gardens and Musical Fountain Shows when water displays dance in time to baroque music.
Visit the Estate of Trianon
Beyond the main palace, discover the more intimate Estate of Trianon, where French kings and queens retreated from the rigid protocol of court life. The Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon and their surrounding gardens reveal a quieter, more personal side of the royal story, with refined architecture and carefully landscaped grounds.
Discover Marie-Antoinette’s Queen’s Hamlet
Continue to Marie-Antoinette’s Queen’s Hamlet, a picturesque village‑style retreat of cottages, gardens and ponds. Designed as a romantic rural escape, this hamlet shows how the queen sought moments of privacy and simplicity away from the formality of Versailles, adding a contrasting, human dimension to the grandeur of the main palace.
A Complete Versailles Experience
By combining the main palace, formal gardens, Trianon estate and seasonal fountain shows, this tour offers one of the most complete ways to experience Versailles. You leave with a richer understanding of French royal history, from public displays of power to the private refuges of the kings and queens who once lived here.
