What you’ll see on the tour?
• Château de Versailles (Palace of Versailles)
Admire the majestic palace from the outside, once the center of King Louis XIV’s court and a place where over 5,000 people lived and worked. The Château de Versailles also witnessed key moments that fueled the French Revolution.
• Domaine de Versailles
Cycle in the Versailles domain, where more than 50 fountains once operated during royal celebrations.
• Grand Canal
Pause by the impressive waterway, built in the 17th century, where Louis XIV organized boat parades with gondolas imported from Venice.
• Grand Trianon
See this elegant pink marble chateau, which was a retreat built by Louis XIV and later used by Napoleon as a summer palace for himself and his second wife.
• Petit Trianon
Visit Marie Antoinette’s private retreat. She redesigned this estate to escape the formality of court life and later created Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet, a rustic village where the queen could play at being a countrywoman.
A short refreshment break is included. Bring a snack or simply enjoy the moment in the shade.
