Skip to the front of the general admission line at Versailles.
Throughout the tour your guide-interpreter will bring back to life the history of the Palace of Versailles where, from 1682, Louis XIV officially settled his court and his government. In particular, you will discover the Great Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors and the Queen's Apartments.
Take advantage of some free time at the end of the excursion to stroll through the French gardens surrounded by sculptures (statues, busts, marble vases) made from 1661 by teams of sculptors initially supervised by Charles Le Brun, the King's favorite painter.
Fountain Show Special Program:
In addition to the regular program, you can wander around the groves and pools where the magnificent display of fountains reveals the skill and artistry of three centuries of French Garden design and engineering. The display is accompanied by music from one of the famous composers from the court of Louis XIV.
Please note, the first Sunday of each month the visit will be unguided, you will be provided with an audio guide
