A Versailles tour is a must-do when in Paris.

The Palace of Versailles is famous across the world for its grandeur and offers a unique insight into the lifestyle of the French nobility. Built by Louis 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.

If you take this Versailles tour on a Saturday or Sunday between April and October you will be able to see the famous Versailles Fountain Show. Accompanied by the music of one of the composers from the court of Louis XIV, this is particularly delightful.

Your time at the Palace of Versailles is entirely at leisure. You will receive an audio guide and can explore at your independently.

Itinerary

Your Versailles tour starts from 214 Rue Rivoli in Paris. You will travel in an air conditioned coach to the Palace of Versailles. En route you will be given a headset and can listen to an audio-introduction to the Palace of Versailles.

On arrival at the Palace of Versailles you will be given an audio guide and can explore at your leisure.

Some areas of Versailles not to miss include the King’s Suite with its lavishly decorated rooms of frescoes, marble, gilt, woodwork symbols from Roman and Greek mythology. A highlight of the Palace of Versailles is the 75 metre long Hall of Mirrors, with 17 huge mirrors and stucco work showing the monarch in various guises (Louis the XIV was also called the Sun King).

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.

At the end of your Versailles tour you will be taken back to 214 Rue Rivoli, Paris.
