Overview
Trade the stress of organizing trains and tickets for a smooth full-day private escape from Paris to the Palace of Versailles. To enhance the experience, enjoy one glass of Champagne per person, or one soft drink as an alternative during your private excursion. Inside the palace, explore at your own pace with the official audio guide, following in the footsteps of Louis XIV through the King’s Grand Apartments, the Queen’s Apartments, and the dazzling Hall of Mirrors. After the palace visit, take your time to discover André Le Nôtre’s French gardens, with their grand perspectives, ornamental pools, and perfectly aligned avenues stretching toward the Grand Canal. On selected days from spring to autumn, your ticket also includes access to the Musical Fountains or Musical Gardens show, when water and baroque music bring the royal park to life.
