Program & Itinerary
During this half-day tour, you will see the best that Versailles has to offer without having to wait in line!
We will take you back to the Golden Age of France with an afternoon at the Palace of Versailles. The chateau and gardens count among the most prestigious monuments of the world’s artistic heritage and are certainly the finest and most complete achievement of 17th-century French art. Former residence of the ‘Sun King Louis XIV, this sumptuous royal palace was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. The guided tour of the palace includes the State Apartments of the King and Queen, Royal Chapel, and Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery that boasts 357 mirrors, french bay windows, and crystal chandeliers.
At the end of your visit, there is free time to discover the famous gardens à la française; a 2,000-acre park designed by André le Notre with its magnificent groves, statues, and fountains.
