Itinerary
During your trip to Versailles Palace, you will drive through the City of Versailles, born out of the will of Louis the XIVth, the Sun King, in the 17th Century and the capital of the Kingdom of France for over a century, from 1682 to 1789.
The chateau and gardens count among the most prestigious monuments of the world’s artistic heritage and are certainly the finest and most complete achievement of 17th-century French art. Former residence of the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV, this sumptuous royal palace was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. The guided tour of the palace includes the State Apartments of the King and Queen, Royal Chapel, and Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery that boasts 357 mirrors, french bay windows, and crystal chandeliers.
The Hall of Mirrors is a symbol of the political, economic, and artistic success of France. Take time to learn why from your guide.
Discover the famous gardens à la française ; a 2,000 acre park designed by André le Notre with its magnificent groves, statues, and fountains. Depending on the day and time of the year you join the tour, you will have the opportunity to have a glimpse of the Fountains Show or the Musical Gardens show before returning to Paris.
Introduction to the masterpieces of the Louvre (Venus of Milo, Victory of Samothrace, Mona Lisa, ...), learn more about the history of the Louvre Palace, a captivating tour, mixing history, anecdotes and art history.
