One full day covers the palace, the gardens and the Trianon estate at a comfortable pace. Half a day is enough for the palace and the central axis only; two days lets you add the town, the market and a slow circuit of the park by bike.

When is the best time to visit Versailles?

May, June and September — the Musical Fountains are running, the gardens are at their best and the crowds are lighter than in July and August. Within the week, come Wednesday to Friday: the palace closes on Mondays and Tuesday is the busiest day because of it.

How do you get to Versailles from Paris?

The RER C to Versailles Château–Rive Gauche takes 35–45 minutes and leaves a 10-minute walk to the gates — about €8 return. The train from Montparnasse to Versailles Chantiers is faster at 15 minutes with an 18-minute walk, and Saint-Lazare to Versailles Rive Droite takes 35 minutes.

Is the Palace of Versailles closed on Mondays?

Yes — the palace and the Trianon estate close every Monday, along with 1 January, 1 May and 25 December. The gardens and the park stay open daily all year, weather permitting.

What are the best day trips from Versailles?

Paris is 20 minutes away by train; Monet's garden at Giverny an hour and a quarter; Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte — the château whose architects Louis XIV poached to build Versailles — about an hour southeast; and Disneyland Paris an hour across the city.
