Step into the splendor of the Château de Versailles, a symbol of French opulence and history. Join me as we explore the gilded halls, elaborate gardens, and intricate rooms where kings, queens, and ministers once roamed. From the awe-inspiring Hall of Mirrors to Marie Antoinette’s private retreat, each part of the palace tells its own story of excess, power, and drama. This tour combines history, architecture, and fascinating tales of the personalities who lived here. With a focus on the little details and hidden corners, I’ll ensure you leave with a complete picture of Versailles’ grandeur and significance.
We’ll meet right outside the main entrance, where I’ll give you an overview of the palace’s historical significance before we head inside.
Starting with the King’s State Apartments, we’ll walk through some of the most opulent rooms, including the famed Hall of Mirrors, where treaties were signed and lavish parties held.
You’ll have some time to wander the gardens on your own or follow along with my suggestions for the best spots and seasonal highlights. From musical fountains to grand parterres, there’s no end to the beauty here.
We’ll regroup and head to Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon, where she sought simplicity away from the palace pressures, and the quaint Queen’s Hamlet, her rustic fantasy village.
I’ll wrap up with a few tips for enjoying the rest of your day in Versailles or Paris.
Yes, photography is allowed, but no flash.
