Do not leave Versailles without having seen the 20 unmissable places of this magnificent Royal City and the Trianon estate in the Park of the Palace of Versailles. I offer you a private historical tour of the city of Versailles and the Domaine de Trianon aboard my 1968 Dyane! This 2-hour circuit will take you to discover the most beautiful districts of the city: we will start with the Avenue de Paris, facing the Château, then we will visit the Saint Louis district and the Notre Dame district, the two districts that surround the Château and are steeped in history. We will also make an incursion into the park of the Château (entrance fees to the park included) to discover the Petit Trianon, the Grand Trianon and the Grand Canal, including a "drinks" break. You will leave enchanted by this immersion in the universe of the Kings and Queens of France, from Louis XIV "the Sun King" to Marie-Antoinette.
The circuit will start in front of the Hôtel de Ville in Versailles. We will begin our visit on Avenue de Paris then we will cross the Saint Louis district and the Notre-Dame district, the two historic districts that surround the Château and conceal treasures at every street corner.
We will then go to the Park of the Palace of Versailles to see the Estate of Trianon (Entrance to the Park of the Palace included). We will pass in front of the Petit Trianon, a haven of peace that Marie-Antoinette loved so much... If you want to visit this place later, you will have to buy a ticket.
Then, we will stop in front of the Grand Trianon built for Louis XIV and his Favorite Madame de Montespan. This will be the occasion for a drinks break. If you want to visit this place later, you will have to buy a ticket.
We will then make a stop at the Grand Canal, a magnificent piece of water which makes the grandeur of the Estate of Versailles.
Finally, we will pass in front of the Palace of Versailles, one of the most visited monuments in France, to take some photos. If you want to visit the castle later, you will have to buy a ticket.

Our guide was tres charmante! She shared just the right amount of info for me and my 2 Japanese cousins, and answered our questions. The open top vintage car and the champagne were perfect. Versailles is so huge, it was fantastic to take the drive! Merci bien!
This was one of the most unique and memorable tours we’ve ever done. Virginie was an incredible guide and very knowledgeable, warm, and full of local insight. It was amazing to see more than just the palace; she gave us a true insider view of Versailles, from hidden neighborhoods to historic backstories. Riding through the town in her vintage car (which has been in her family since the late ’60s!) made the whole experience feel even more personal and special. And the champagne picnic in front of Marie Antoinette’s home was just perfect. Couldn’t recommend it more.
Virginie the guide is fascinating and knows so many things and with precision! Even for my historian father! The whole visit is extremely interesting, and even when you know little about history like me...and you let yourself be transported by her knowledge, thanks again to her for these 2 hours so different from a traditional visit. The visit to Diane is also excellent, we stop everywhere and we see very well. To do and redo! Do not hesitate !
By far one of the most incredible city tours of my life. What a spectacular way to start our trip! The history, the attractions, the car itself was truly such a special day for my mother & I. It set the stage for a memorable trip and experience we will never forget! I can’t believe all we were able to see & learn about Versailles and can’t wait to return and do it again. Absolutely amazing and our incredibly knowledgeable & lovely guide exceeded every expectation I could have even imagined 💗🙏🏽 if there was a way to give her 5 stars, I would, because it was the tour of a lifetime!!
