Overview

Embark on a day out from Paris and discover the history of France on a Palace of Versailles tour. Travel in a luxury, air-conditioned coach to the awe-inspiring palace and witness its magnificence and pomp. This guided tour from Paris is conducted in 2 languages – English and Spanish.

The Palace of Versailles is the most famous palace in France and draws tourists from across the world to explore its richly decorated interiors and formal gardens. Built by Louis the XIV, it served as the seat of the royal court for more than a century. A tour of the palace is a memorable experience and offers a glimpse into the extravagant lifestyle of the French nobility. The King’s Suite is particularly lavish with frescoes, woodwork and marble and gilt embellishments. The Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon are two smaller palaces built by Louis the XIV for his family.

You may also visit the beautiful gardens which 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 grandeur of the Palace of Versailles and its splendid gardens will stay with you forever.

Accompanied by an English/Spanish-speaking guide, you will travel in an air-conditioned coach from Paris 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.

The guide will lead the tour and take you around the vast palace. Visit the Royal Apartments, the King’s Suite and Queen’s Suite and see lavishly decorated rooms with frescoes, marble, gilt, woodwork and symbols from Roman and Greek mythology.

You will have free time to explore the beautiful Gardens of Versailles at your own pace. In the summer, take a walking tour through the groves and in winter, take a small train ride and admire the breathtakingly beautiful gardens.

After spending quality time at Versailles, reboard your coach for your journey back to Paris. The tour ends at original departure point.
