Overview
The Palace of Versailles is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful achievements of 18th century French art. The palace remains in fabulous condition and is one of the most popular attractions of France. With this tour you have the freedom of planning your travel to the palace, be it from Paris or someplace else.
Versailles was the center of French politics from 1682, when Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King moved his court from Paris to the countryside. The palace served as the heart of royal life and saw the reign of three kings until the French Revolution. See the stupendous Apartments of the King, opulently adorned with gold and beautiful fabrics, and the famous Hall of Mirrors designed by Mansart.
You will get to traverse the magnificent gardens with your guide and even catch the Fountains Show during weekends. Whereas many operators charge extra for the Fountains Show experience, with this tour it’s included in the price, so you save money while getting the most of your trip to Versailles.
Suitable for people short on time; experience the best of Versailles in 2 hours.
