Versailles Skip-the-Line Tickets & Reserved Entry
The queue at Versailles is not one queue but two — security at the gates, then the palace entrance — and on a Tuesday in July it can swallow two hours. Reserved-entry tickets and timed-slot passes get you a fixed arrival time and the shorter line, and combined tickets add the Trianon estate and the gardens on fountain days.

Tickets & Entry in Versailles — Häufige Fragen
Do you need to book Versailles tickets in advance?
Yes. Versailles requires a timed entry slot even for ticket holders and for anyone with a Paris Museum Pass, and the morning slots sell out days ahead in summer. Booking in advance fixes your arrival time and avoids the general queue.
How much is a ticket to the Palace of Versailles?
Entry-only tickets on Excurgo cost around €31, and tours that bundle reserved entry with a guide run €64–€90. Audio-guided garden and estate walks without palace entry start from about €10.
Is there really a skip-the-line entrance at Versailles?
There is no way to skip the security check at the gates — everyone passes through it. What a reserved ticket or guided tour skips is the separate ticket-office and palace-entrance queue, which is the long one.
