Versailles with a Guide – Skip the Line

 

Located just 16 kilometres southwest of Paris, Versailles Palace was the residence of the kings of France from Louis XIV to Louis XVI, and is one of the most famous palaces in the world as well as one of the largest in Europe. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site 30 years ago, the Palace is one of the finest achievements of seventeenth-century French art.

Its impressive dimensions are mind-boggling with over 2300 rooms spread over an area of 63.000m². You will be taken straight into the Palace on arrival, avoiding the queues and then be shown around the different wings of this beautiful palace, visiting the Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors and the Queen’s Private Apartments.

You will also have plenty of free time at the end of the tour for strolling around the formal French gardens designed for Louis XIV by the great landscape architect André Le Nôtre, where you will admire the magnificent statues, busts and marble vases, secret grottos, sparkling fountains and serene lakes. After the visit of the castle, you will have free time (about 1 hour) to visit the gardens on your own.
