Versailles Day Trips & Tours from Paris
Versailles sits about 20 km southwest of Paris, and the trip out is the single most-booked excursion in the Île-de-France. Half-day tours leave central Paris by coach or take the RER C together with a guide; full-day versions add the Trianon estate, lunch and time in the gardens. Transport, reserved entry and the queue-handling are all built in.

From Paris in Versailles — Veelgestelde vragen
How do you get from Paris to Versailles?
The RER C to Versailles Château–Rive Gauche takes 35–45 minutes from central Paris and leaves you a 10-minute walk from the gates. Trains from Montparnasse reach Versailles Chantiers in about 15 minutes, and from Saint-Lazare to Versailles Rive Droite takes 35. Guided day trips include the transfer either way.
How much is a day trip to Versailles from Paris?
Half-day guided trips with transport and reserved entry cost €89–€99, full days with the Trianon estate and lunch €145–€199, and small-group tours combining Versailles with Giverny about €180. Doing it independently costs roughly €31 for the ticket plus €8 return on the RER C.
Is a guided day trip to Versailles worth it versus going alone?
Going alone is cheaper and perfectly doable if you book a timed ticket. A guided trip is worth the difference on a summer weekend, when the group entrance and a guide who knows which rooms to see first save the queueing and the guesswork.
