Tour of the Palace of Versailles
Tour of the Palace of Versailles
At your chosen time we'll depart from Paris and, about 45 minutes later, we'll arrive in Versailles, the de facto capital of France for several years during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Upon arrival at the Palace of Versailles, the residence of the Kings of France from 1682 until 1789, you'll skip the long lines and follow your guide straight into the building. The official guide will walk you through the main rooms of the royal residence, including the magnificent King’s Grand Apartment, the Queen’s Grand Apartment and the breathtaking Hall of Mirrors, where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 ending World War I.
After visiting the interior of the palace, you'll have free time to explore the Versailles gardens. Throughout the 800 hectares, we'll see trees, plants statues and, ponds. In addition, at no extra cost, we'll see the fountains in operation on those days when they are in operation.
The visit to the palace and its gardens will last a total of two hours. At the end of the tour, we'll return to Paris.
