Itinerary

1. Palace of Versailles
Leave central Paris and head southwest by luxury minibus to the historic town of Versailles, roughly 25 miles (40km) away. Famous as the home of King Louis XIV, the town’s palace, gardens and memorials all attest to the sheer grandeur of his ruling era. First stop is the Palace of Versailles, the town’s sprawling palatial compound where Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, once lived. At the center of French royal power throughout 17th and 18th centuries, the building oozes royal elegance and, as such, draws visitors from all around the world.
2. La Galerie des Glaces
Head straight past the long lines of visitors outside the palace with your skip-the-line ticket, and head inside to experience the history and opulence of it. On a tour led by your expert guide, discover the stunning State Apartments that comprise the Hall of Mirrors and Queen’s Apartments. While walking, your guide will enthrall you with tales of the kings who lived there.
3. Jardins du Chateau de Versailles
After approximately one hour exploring the Palace of Versailles, step outside to discover the magnificent gardens at your own pace. Just as impressive as the palace itself, these French Baroque gardens took nearly 40 years to complete and feature highlights such as the famous Versailles fountains and the Orangery. Following your visit to the gardens, enjoy some free time for lunch (not included) near the Grand Canal. Your guide will be happy to recommend nearby options. If the weather permits, you may also choose to enjoy a light outdoor picnic on the grass by the Grand Canal.
Duration: 120 mins
4. I Trianons E Le Hameau
Your afternoon is spent at the estate of Trianon, which "is perhaps most closely associated with Queen Marie-Antoinette", where you will visit the Petit Trianon, the place where "The wife of Louis XVI regularly sought refuge." Marie Antionette’s Queen’s Hamlet is nearby, and this is the last Versailles sight to be seen before your journey back to Paris. Designed by the popular French architect Richard Mique, the retreat features a charming thatched-roof cottage, lakes, streams and even a little farmhouse. After exploring the Queen’s Hamlet, head back to your luxury minibus for the return journey to Paris.
