Description
This Versailles skip-the-line guided tour begins at the palace itself: you meet your guide there and go in with pre-booked tickets, without the queue. Transport from Paris is not included. Count on a half day for the whole visit.
Inside, the guide tells the stories of France's great monarchs and the world of Louis XVI. You walk through salons with their original furniture and paintings, every one given to a different god, and reach the Hall of Mirrors, the palace's grandest room.
- The royal apartments with a live guide
- The gardens, with their art and fountains
- The Grand Trianon, a creation of Louis XIV, and the Petit Trianon, made for Madame de Pompadour
- The Queen's Hamlet, a place that belonged to Marie Antoinette
When the guided part ends, you can head out on your own across the gardens and over to the Trianon estate. Your ticket allows a single entrance to the palace, so any exit is final. The tour is not suitable for children under 6 or for people with mobility impairments. Tips are not included.
