Step by Step
The Palace of Versailles was a very important building for French royalty. That's why on this 1-day tour, which lasts about 8 hours, you will get to know all its details while you are part of a group of maximum 20 people. The Palace is made up of 3 buildings and on this guided tour you will have access to all of them. Inside you will be able to see the Gallery of Mirrors, a large room with incredible crystal chandeliers on the ceiling. Plus, you won't have to worry about how to get to the site as return tickets from Paris are included. You will also enjoy a 3-course lunch and wine if you select the option when booking.
Throughout the tour you will be accompanied by a tour guide who will explain all about the history of the palace, anecdotes of former French royalty and all sorts of details in each of the rooms. Afterwards, the guide will take you on a tour of the palace 's immense gardens. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and have beautiful fountains which make a spectacle if you visit the palace during the weekends from April to October.
However, the highlights of the palace do not end here as you will also visit Marie Antoinette's private domains. These domains consist of a small farm that simulates an 18th-century village. Marie-Antoinette had this small uninhabited village built so that she could escape from her noble life from time to time and forget about her role as queen. Inside are small farms that still keep their animals to this day, so you can get close to them and pet them.
