What you can expect

Soak up French royal culture and history as you explore the opulent grounds of the 17th-century Palace of Versailles. With an engaging guide leading you between lavish rooms and expansive halls, explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and take a stroll through the palace's exquisitely manicured gardens.

Sit back as you're driven comfortably to the outskirts of Paris towards Versailles, where the palace's sprawling grounds welcome you to step back in time to the days of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and Marie Antoinette.

Venture inside the palace and discover a fantastic display of gold, marble, and mirrors. Your guide conjures up life in the palace, relaying its history and and tales about its royal inhabitants as you check out the ornate furnishings in the King and Queen's private apartments and wander the gilded features in the Hall of Mirrors.

Later, enjoy a relaxing stroll among the beautiful gardens' sculptures, statues, busts, and marble structures. Pause to reflect at the edge of the Grand Canal, wander through forests where royalty once hunted, and then head back to your comfortable coach for the return ride to Paris.
