Explore Versailles with departure by train (RER) - Full-Day Tour
The Versailles Palace was the main residence of the French kings Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI, and today is a must-see for all visitors to Paris due to its importance in French history and its beauty, recognizable among all the world's castles.
Every year, more than 8 million visitors follow in the footsteps of the Sun King, but not everyone chooses the option that best suits them to enjoy the wide range of wonders offered by this historic estate.
With this guided visit of the Palace of Versailles, you will see the King's Apartments, with its seven elegant salons all dedicated to a different god, and the Queen's Apartments, including the Queen's Bedroom, where Marie Antoinette once slept. Then, marvel at the majestic Hall of Mirrors, the large reception room dreamt up by the architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Designed to leave visitors to the Sun King speechless, this huge hall with marble and gilded bronze decoration was a place to stroll and meet. It was also the setting for sumptuous receptions and royal wedding balls.
Then, of course, the gardens are a must, you will be in awe in front of their exceptional designs and pruning imagined by André le Nôtre.
You will also have the opportunity to discover both the Grand Trianon designed by Louis XIV to escape the Court and the Petit Trianon built by Louis XV for his favourite Madame de Pompadour. Finally, enjoy a moment of tranquility as if you were in the countryside at the Queen's Hamlet. A place particularly appreciated by Marie Antoinette, where she liked to rest with her closed ones.
