History, beauty, and a lot of walking, hire a buggy to explore the vast grounds
We visited the Versailles Palace and had a truly impressive and educational day. The guided tour through the palace was both informative and engaging, bringing the rich history and grandeur of the Versailles palace to life. To explore the wider grounds, we hired a buggy, which was a fantastic way to take in the vast gardens and reach highlights such as Marie Antoinette’s house. We also enjoyed wandering through the beautifully maintained private gardens, which added to the sense of stepping back in time. Overall, it was a memorable experience that combined history, culture, and stunning surroundings — highly recommended for anyone visiting Versailles.
