Versailles with Kids: The Best Family Itinerary
Versailles with children works far better outdoors than in: gilded rooms wear thin fast, but a farm village, a lake with rowing boats and 800 hectares to ride through do not. Here is the family plan, with the tours that suit it.
In het kort
- 1Little train to Trianon
- 2Queen's Hamlet farm
- 3Rowing on the canal
- 4Golf cart through the park
Keep the palace short
An hour inside is plenty. Head for the Hall of Mirrors and the State Apartments, then get out into the park.
The Hamlet is the win
Marie-Antoinette's farm village still keeps animals, and the thatched cottages around the lake are the one part of Versailles children remember.
Ride, row, picnic
The little train, rental bikes and golf carts all cover the distance to the Trianon; rowing boats go out on the Grand Canal in summer.
