Tour Overview
Follow your guide straight to the front of the line to visit the most beautiful rooms inside the palace: the King's Grand Apartments, the Queen's Grand Apartments which include the Coronation Room & the Queen's Bedroom that was once occupied by Marie Antoinette. Your guide will help you to experience everything about what life was like in the Palace of Versailles, the symbol of the power of the French monarchy.
Then move on to the sparkling Hall of Mirrors of Versailles that was designed to dazzle the Sun King's visitors, this huge hall with marble and gilded bronze decoration was somewhere to stroll and meet. It was also the setting for sumptuous receptions and royal wedding balls.
Your tour will be followed by the opportunity to discover the palace's gardens. In 1661, Louis XIV commissioned the landscape architect André Le Nôtre to lay out the grounds and gardens, something that was just as important as the construction of the palace itself as far as the king was concerned. Enjoy your free time and explore the Gardens of Versailles, admiring the magnificent sculpted decorations, fountains, and pools. On Saturdays and Sunday from April to October you will also be able to observe the magical fountain display in the gardens.
The number of participants is limited to a maximum of eight people to allow you to enjoy a personalized tour with your driver-guide.
Guided visit with audio guide (provided in French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Russian) in the State Apartments (Hall of Mirrors, King and Queen’s Apartments).
