Rejseplan
Versailles-paladset, eller på fransk "Château de Versailles", er et af de største slotte i verden. Palace of Versailles er en af verdensarvslisterne og er en af de fineste resultater af fransk kunst i det syttende århundrede. Den tidligere jagthytte Louis XIII blev omdannet og udvidet af hans søn Louis XIV, der installerede hans domstol og hans regering i 1682. Indtil den franske revolution har konger lykkedes og pyntet hver borg. Denne kongelige juvel er bestemt et must-see fransk vartegn. Ventur i paladset, opdag dens spektakulære arkitektur og dens pragtfulde værelser som konge- og dronningens lejligheder, mange opholdsstuer med sine historier og det betagende Mirror Hall-design for at imponere besøgende med sine tre hundrede og halvtreds syv spejle, dets marmor og bronze dekorationer og dets forgyldte bronzeskulpturer. Besøget slutter med en introduktion til Versailles Haver. Takket være springet over linjeadgangen inviterer guiden dig til at opdage Royal Apartments.
Bygningen af det kongelige kapel blev afsluttet i 1710 i slutningen af Ludvig XIVs regering. Det var det femte og sidste kapel, der blev bygget i paladset siden Ludvig XIIIs regeringstid. Designet blev præsenteret for kongen af Jules Hardouin-Mansart i 1699. Desværre døde den første arkitekt til kongen i 1708 inden afslutningen af værkerne, som blev afsluttet af hans svoger, Robert de Cotte.
Royal Opera er et af de største værker af arkitekten Ange-Jacques Gabriel. Indviet i 1770 under Louis XV's regering, var det på det tidspunkt den største koncertsal i Europa, og var også en stor teknisk præstation og en imponerende bedrift med dekorativ forfining. Et teater for monarkisk og derefter republikansk liv, og det har været vært for fester, shows og parlamentariske debatter.
Vores ekspert tour guide giver dig mulighed for at se den bedste del af haven. I 1661 pålagde Louis XIV André Le Nôtre at oprette haverne i Versailles. Oprettelsen af haver kræver et gigantisk arbejde omkring fyrre år: nivelleringsrum, anlæg til haveanlæg, oprettelse af damme og kanalen. Louis XIV betragtes som haver som vigtigt som slottet. André Le Nôtre skabte en ultimativ fransk stilhave: en terrasse med en global udsigt over haven, en geometrisk organisering af økserne, damme, blomsterbede, lunde. Haven er designet som en bygning, en tur der spiller på perspektiverne. Charles Le Brun tegnet et stort antal statuer og springvand. De 221 skulpturer gør Versailles til verdens største friluftsmuseum for skulpturer. Springvand og lunde pryder haverne. Lundene var regelmæssigt vært for Kongens gåtur og underholdning af banen. Værdsæt en gåtur gennem Le Nôtre haver. Hver sommer tilbyder Versailles fremragende underholdning i haven for at give besøgende oplevelse af storslåelsen af festlighederne i haven på Louis XIV's tid. Din guide vil tilbyde dig et besøg i musikhaverne (tirsdag fra juni til oktober) og det musikalske springvandshow (lørdage og søndage fra april til oktober).
Petit Trianon I 1758 planlægger Louis XV bygningen af et nyt lille slot. Han beordrer Ange-Jacques Gabriel, en kongelig pavillon for at huse intimiteten til hans fordel Madame de Pompadour. Petit Trianon er et ægte emblem af neo-klassisk arkitektur. Ved Louis XV's død tilbyder Louis XVI det til sin unge kone, Marie Antoinette. Hun skifter Louis XV's botaniske have ved en overdådig anglo-kinesisk have. Et besøg i Petit Trianon er en bevægende fordybelse i dagligdagen til Marie Antoinette, en dybt menneskelig dronning. Ofte beskyldt for useriøsitet ville det ende tragisk under den franske revolution. Gå ind på denne historiske figurs personlighed, berømt for hendes skønhed, hendes modernitet og sin overdådige underholdning. Nyd haverne for at opdage Kærlighedens tempel og Belvedere, kære dronningen. Grand Trianon er en unik bygning med dens centrale loggia, der sikrer en reel gennemsigtighed mellem gården og haven. I 1687 beordrede Louis XIV opførelsen af et "lille palads af lyserød marmor og porfyritisk med smukke haver" ifølge arkitekten Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Slottet kaldes derefter "Marmor Trianon". Denne lyserøde marmorbygning kombinerer subtile overdådighed og intimitet. Mange originale skulpturerede dekorationer er synlige i lejlighederne samt et storslået Empire-møbler. Grand Trianon er omgivet af fransk stilhaver, hvis utallige blomster og lunde bidrager til at skabe en afslappende atmosfære. Dronningens Hamlet, bygget mellem 1783 og 1786 af Richard Mique, falder sammen med tidenes smag for landdistriktets charme. Denne lille landsby "som på landet" havde huse lavet enten til den enkle underholdning som billardrummet eller til en rigtig landbrugsfunktion som mejerier eller gården. Det fungerede som et privat mødested for dronningen og hendes nærmeste venner, et sted til fritid.

We had Jean-Paul as our tour guide and he was fabulous. He was charming, funny, a great photographer (and patient haha), and ever-knowledgeable about everything we saw! He even grew up in Versailles and could give us the insider’s view. We saw much more than we would’ve seen with anyone else. He made the experience so enjoyable. If you book this tour, ask for Jean-Paul!
My wife and I spent the day at Versailles with our private guide Jean Paul. He picked us at our hotel and navigated the roads and freeways of Paris. On the way, we watched a traffic piled up for miles behind striking cab drivers on the other side of the road. I was glad to have a local avoiding this chaos. Jean Paul was very knowledgeable and educated about French, European and global history. This was very helpful in understanding how Versailles fit into this history. I especially enjoyed Trianon and the model of a French village.

this was an incredible experience. We were picked up in the morning by Claude. He took us around the gardens, the chateau and then through the Trianon. Claude’s knowledge of the property and of French history was vast and added to the experience. At the end of the day, Claude drove us back to our hotel in Paris. This was a great day and worth the price.

Such a memorable day exploring the Palace and gardens with Gilles! You cannot know French history without diving into Louis XIV, and this passion project of his gives you a lot of context for his reign- the longest of any monarch in the world. Our friendly and informative guide picked us up in Paris at our hotel with a spacious and comfortable van and stayed with us the entire day (except lunch), returning us back to our hotel. The tour of the palace and walking of the grounds was well-paced, with just enough information and fascinating facts to enhance the experience that is already visually jaw-dropping. It is a LOT of walking, so comfy shoes are essential. The guide will also adjust to your pace and desires for breaks, a lunch of your chosen length, etc. Gilles is warm, laid back (which is really refreshing in the busy crowd of the palace), and highly knowledgeable - we would definitely recommend him and this amazing tour of a truly decadent French icon!

The tour was amazing. Ange was our tour guide and he was so patient, accommodated and knowledgeable about the place. We have generous amount of time to explore part of the garden, enjoy the water show before heading to the palace. Since most of our group members are 40+, one is 80+ years old, we truly enjoy the experience and will definitely recommend this to other
Nice to have a private tour guide - he knew tips & tricks for the best viewing/timing of different areas. Hotel pickup & drop off made the day easy & stress free. Nice to have a private group!
I loved Trianon and its world within a world. Our guide was delightful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
It was a pretty good day although it could have been better. First, Gilles was very nice and a very good tour guide. My husband and I enjoy hearing about Versailles and learned a lot. Our granddaughter was bored and he didn’t engage with her too much on the elements of the tour, although he was very nice to her. The organization of the trip, however, could be better. We were picked up at 8:00 but had an 11:40 entry into the chateau. Even with the walking in the gardens we had some time to kill that we could have used at the end. It also meant retracing our steps since we couldn’t do the chateau and then the gardens and then over to the 2 other palaces. My husband is 71 and it was really too much walking for him - 6 miles by the count of my Apple Watch. If that was the only time the tour operator could get it would have been better to book a later start time and return later. The other thing I would strongly recommend is that you do not go to the fancy restaurant (Ore?). It was a huge rip off and took a lot of time away from the tour. It was my fault - Gilles showed me the menu but I just saw a sandwich that I knew my granddaughter would eat and didn’t even look at the rest. There is no way to get a single course meal there, it is crazy expensive for what you get, and it takes a very long time. Had that been pointed out I definitely would have chosen something else. It meant we had to rush through the Grand Trianon and the Queen’s Hamlet and even rushing we were 30 minutes late to get back to the driver. It was a combination of having late entry tickets and the long lunch. I also wished I knew how much we were missing coming this time of year. Not only were the fountains not operating but most of the statues outside were covered. There were also areas in the palace that we didn’t have tickets for. I guess I thought that for so much money that we had access to everything. And at the end of the long day the tour operator decided to save some money and hire a small car rather than the minivan we were promised. We did not receive a refund for the difference in cost.
Great tour, excellent transport and Jean Paul was great! :) The Petit Trianon was absolutely beautiful and the walk along the grounds. :)
