Description

Option 1: Guided Visit of the Palace Step into the grandeur of Versailles on a small-group tour (maximum 12 guests) led by an expert guide. Enjoy skip-the-line access and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of French royalty. Begin your journey in the King’s Grand Apartment, a suite of opulent rooms adorned with intricate ceiling frescoes and royal symbolism. Admire the artistry of the Throne Room and learn how each space reflects the power and personality of its royal occupants. Continue to the Queen’s Apartment, the elegant chambers where French queens lived in luxury. These meticulously restored rooms highlight the refined taste and exquisite design of the 17th century. Then, stroll through the iconic Hall of Mirrors, where dazzling chandeliers reflect in endless mirrors and sunlight streams through arched windows. This was the setting for many grand events—and one of the most significant treaties in history. Option 2: Add a Guided Tour of the Gardens (Optional Upgrade) Enhance your experience with a guided visit to the Gardens of Versailles. Step beyond the palace walls and follow your guide through these world-famous grounds. Marvel at Apollo’s Fountain, a powerful symbol of the Sun King, and the majestic Neptune Fountain, known for its dramatic water displays. Discover the Basins of the Seasons, where sculptures personify spring, summer, autumn, and winter, bringing the landscape to life with mythological flair. Your guide will reveal the design secrets of André Le Nôtre, the genius behind this masterpiece of French formal gardens. Option 3: Explore the Gardens on Your Own (Optional Garden Access Tickets) Prefer to wander freely?
