There’s no where else in Europe that does luxury quite like Versailles. Built by Louis XIV to show off the absolute power of the monarchy, this estate remains one of the greatest achievements of French art and design- so it’s not to be missed! Your tour starts either in Versailles or in Paris, once you board the comfy, air-conditioned coach where your guide will spend the 45-minute journey introducing you to the rich history of the palace. Then, bypass the notoriously long queues and begin your guided tour straight away. Marvel at the sheer size and grandeur of the King’s and Queen’s Apartments, the Coronation Room, and the utterly incomparable Hall of Mirrors. Hidden away from the modern world and a perfectly preserved example of the French monarchy’s over-the-top extravagance, you’ll feel magically transported back to the 17th Century as you walk the gilded halls. Afterwards, enjoy free time to explore the dazzling formal gardens renowned for their geometry and discover: the Grand Trianon, the King’s retreat escape from strict court life, the Petit Trianon, and Marie Antoinette’s mock farm village, ideal for children to play around. Then if you have selected the transfer, hop back onboard the coach for a timely arrival in Paris where your tour ends.
