Description

Embark on a guided tour of the iconic Palace of Versailles from Paris and discover the opulent world of French royalty. Travel in comfort aboard an air-conditioned coach and enjoy reserved, timed entry to one of France’s most celebrated landmarks.

Step inside the magnificent palace, home to more than 700 lavishly decorated rooms and 1,250 fireplaces. As you explore, your expert guide will bring the history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site to life. Admire the grandeur of the King’s and Queen’s Apartments, the Royal Chapel, the Coronation Room, the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, and the elegant Salon of Abundance, each reflecting the power and prestige of the French monarchy.

If your selected option includes garden access, continue your visit to the spectacular Versailles Gardens. Spanning nearly 1,800 acres, these beautifully landscaped grounds feature ornamental fountains, sculptures, manicured pathways, and picturesque groves. Enjoy free time to explore at your own pace before returning to Paris by coach.

For a more immersive experience, choose the full-day Versailles and Giverny option. After exploring the palace and gardens of Versailles, continue to Giverny to visit the enchanting home and gardens of Claude Monet. Wander among vibrant flowerbeds and see the famous water lily pond that inspired some of the artist’s most celebrated works before returning to Paris in the evening.
