This will come as no surprise to you that it is one of our most popular tours, once you have finished you will understand why

Your private Licensed Driver-Guide will pick you up directly from your hotel, heading west the short distance to the Palace of Versailles, where you will enjoy an extensive guided tour of this royal palace.

Having skip-the-line tickets will allow to waste no time queuing before entering the walls of this fabulous monument to opulence and grandeur. Most people know that Versailles was the last ‘residence’ of Louis XV1 and Marie-Antionette, but the full history deserves to be told. Built by Louis X1V, in large part due to his jealousy of Nicolas Foucquet’s Vaux-le-Vicomte, construction started in 1660 before it becoming his permanent home in 1668. Thanks to its integral, and unfortunate part in the history of the French Revolution, Versailles Palace has a unique resonance for the French population.

Your experienced guide will be able to paint a picture of what is what like during this crucial period of Pre-Revolutionary France. Whether it’s the Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Chapel, Royal Opera or the State Appartements, you will be fascinated by this visit. From April to October, almost every day, you will be able to visit the magnificent gardens and enjoy the Musical Fountains Show.

For lunch your guide will recommend either a place in the gardens themselves or in the neighbouring streets outside the castle, you’re free to choose whatever please you.

Once you’ve finished your lunch, your guide will take you to the Trianon estate for the next part of your visit. You will admire first of all the Grand Trianon, summer cottage of Louis XIV, which was refurbished successively by Napoleon Bonaparte and François Louis-Philippe the last king of France.

Next up is the Petit Trianon, originally built by Louis XV for his mistress Madame de Pompadour, the Petit Trianon is today closely related to the image of Marie-Antoinette who used this little palace as her private residence. The visit will end with a stroll through the English gardens of Marie-Antoinette with its charming winding alleys, statues, and picturesque Hamlet of the Queen.

Then it’s off back to your hotel with your head full of beautiful images and poignant stories.
