The Palace and Gardens of Versailles are 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. During this full-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 to the former residence of the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV, a sumptuous royal palace that was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. The palace tour includes the King and Queen's State Apartments, the Royal Chapel, and the Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery featuring 357 mirrors, French bay windows, and crystal chandeliers.

After having been dazzled by the splendors of the chateau, you will discover the famous gardens à la française, a 2,000-acre park designed by André le Notre with its magnificent groves, statues, and fountains. Beyond the formal gardens arranged in the Petit Parc (185 acres), the extensive Grand Parc provides opportunities for pleasant strolls or long walks.

After lunch break (no longer included from April 1st 2026), your guide will take you to the Petit Trianon, a small chateau in the grounds of Versailles used by Marie Antoinette for festivities and to escape the overwhelming court etiquette. You will also discover the Queen’s Hamlet, a stylized Norman village and farm built for Marie Antoinette, where she retreated with her closest friends to enjoy an intimately rustic life. Completed just a few years before the Revolution, The Queen's Hamlet remains a testament to the Queen’s desire for a simpler life over the cold marble vaults of the main palace.

Please Note:
