The exquisite Palace of Versailles is one of the most extraordinary achievements in 17th century European art. Situated just 30 minutes outside Paris, in the village of Versailles, this elaborate complex once thrived as an epicenter of political power for the Kingdom of France.
Today, the Palace, also known as Château de Versailles, contains 700 rooms spread across 800 hectares. Illustrating more than five centuries of French history, the Palace not only houses remarkable works of art - it stands as a work of art itself. One of the most ornately designed rooms of all, the Hall of Mirrors features 357 mirrors, including seventeen mirror-clad arches that reflect the seventeen arcaded windows overlooking the gardens. The Versailles Palace Gardens span an impressive 250 acres, and continue to thrive as a beautifully manicured plot with 400 sculptures and 1,400 fountains.
Each year, it is estimated that approximately 5 million people visit the Palace of Versailles, and between 8 and 10 million people walks its gardens. A place of immense beauty, Versailles stands as a symbol of France’s monarchy and its glorious history.

Surrounding the beautiful Grand Canal, Versailles Park is a large expanse of manicured lawns and beautiful view points. To cover the entire park is a rather difficult feit on foot; however, with a Segway you can make sure you cover all the best spots in a limited amount of time. It’s the best, and most ecologically friendly, way to explore the Park.
Meet your guide at the Segway stand in the Park of the Palace. Your guide will supply you with a helmet and give a short lesson on how to safely ride a Segway. Once you’ve gotten the hang of riding, begin your venture around the Park. Ride past the Marie Antoinette’s Estate, cruise past the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon and enjoy the view from Apollon Fountain. Throughout your tour, your expert guide will tell you about the history of Versailles and the secrets of the Palace.
