Introduction

Tour the awe-inspiring Palace of Versailles and get a glimpse of the extravagant lifestyle of the French nobility.

The Palace of Versailles is famous across the world for its grandeur and draws tourists from far and wide who come to explore its lavish interiors and formal gardens. Built by Louis the XIV, the famous Palace of Versailles was designed to awe with its opulence. The 75 metre long Hall of Mirrors is particularly impressive with 17 huge mirrors and stucco work showing the monarch in various guises.

The beautiful gardens are almost as impressive as the palace itself. Designed in the formal style, they have marble and bronze statues, fountains and geometrically aligned terraces. The fountain show, accompanied by the music of one of the composers from the court of Louis XIV, is particularly delightful.

One of the most famous historical and architectural sights in France, the Palace of Versailles is a must visit.

Itinerary

Set out from 214 Rue Rivoli in Paris in an air conditioned coach and travel to the Palace of Versailles which was built by Louis the XIV in the mid 17th century. It is the most famous palace in France and served as the political capital of the kingdom.

Explore the King’s Suite and see lavishly decorated rooms with frescoes, marble, gilt, woodwork and symbols from Roman and Greek mythology. The palace was designed by some of the most talented architects like Le Vau, Mansart and Charles Le Brun. The 75 metre long Hall of Mirrors is particularly impressive with 17 huge mirrors and stucco work showing the monarch in various guises (Louis the XIV was also called the Sun King). Continue to the apartments of Dauphin and Dauphine.

You can also stroll in the formal gardens which were designed by Andre le Notre. Almost as impressive as the palace itself are its ponds, tree lined avenues, marble and bronze statues and fountains.

On Saturdays and Sundays from April – September a spectacular fountain show is held in the gardens of the palace (charges 8 euro per person payable direct). The display is accompanied by the music of one of the composers from the court of Louis XIV.

Return to Paris by coach. The tour ends at 214 Rue Rivoli.
