Step by Step

Start your experience at the imposing equestrian statue of Louis XIV in the Place d'Armes in Versailles. There you will be met by your official guide, who will give you headphones to follow his descriptions in the language of your choice. Thanks to your priority-entry pass, you will be able to enter the palace without waiting in a small group.

As you enter the Royal Apartments, you will discover how the monarch of the Sun organised his court and the protocol that marked European politics for more than a century. Your guide will reveal interesting facts about the furnishings, the tapestries and the secrets hidden in the palace galleries.

The jewel in the crown of the tour is the Hall of Mirrors, a vast corridor lit by 357 mirrors reflecting strips of natural light and chandeliers. Here you will understand why Versailles became synonymous with power and ostentation. You will hear stories of banquets, court intrigues and royal celebrations that marked the history of France.

After 90 minutes of immersion, your guide will bid you farewell and your Palace pass will allow you to stay as long as you wish in the monumental gardens. Stroll leisurely among the dancing fountains, classical statues and trimmed hedges: every view is a living canvas of landscape art.

To complete the experience, enter the Domaine de Trianon, where the Grand Trianon served as an intimate retreat for royalty and the Petit Trianon and the Queen's Village transport you to the private world of Marie-Antoinette. If you wish, rent a golf cart or hop on the little train (not included) and tour these spaces in total comfort.
