Indulge in the epitome of luxury tourism with our exclusive Versailles Full Day Private Guided Tour. Your journey begins with a seamless transfer from Paris to Versailles with your driver-guide, where you'll enjoy swift access to the site’s vast domain, courtesy of timed entry tickets.
Commence your exploration with the Palace, a magnificent testament to 17th-century French artistry. Initially conceived as a hunting pavilion by Louis XIII, it underwent a transformative metamorphosis at the hands of his son, Louis XIV, who established his court and government within its opulent walls in 1682. Subsequent monarchs lavished it with enhancements, a legacy that persisted until the French Revolution.
Your private English-speaking guide will unveil the rich history of the Palace while guiding you through its hallowed halls. Marvel at the splendor of the King's and Queen's apartments, immerse yourself in the serenity of the Chapel, contemplate the majesty of the Coronation Room and bask in the brilliance of the Hall of Mirrors. Take your time to savor the lavish details and immerse yourself in the Palace's unparalleled atmosphere.
Following your Palace guide through, meander through the enchanting French-style gardens, masterfully crafted by André le Nôtre. If you happen to visit on a fountain show day, you'll be treated to a spectacle of waterworks that have endured the test of time, enchanting visitors just as they did in the era of Kings and Queens.
Within the expansive Versailles grounds and amidst the captivating gardens, your guide will introduce you to the Petit Trianon, an enchanting chateau that served as Marie Antoinette's sanctuary from the stifling court protocol. Here, she passionately embraced the ideals of the neo-classical movement, forging a retreat that starkly contrasted the grandeur of the main palace. Discover the whimsical Queen's Hamlet, an idyllic Norman village and farm commissioned by Marie Antoinette for herself and her closest companions, offering a glimpse into her desire for a simpler life, and her fascination with rural living, a stark contrast to the grandeur of the main palace.
Relax in the luxury of your private car as you journey back to Paris, cherishing the treasured memories and newfound knowledge acquired during this extraordinary and truly special visit to this iconic site.
