The possibility that it was in Spanish, the girl was French but she spoke Spanish very well and was very entertaining. The bad thing is that there are always so many people.... but we loved it. I had seen that on Tuesdays they did the show of the fountains with music, we were waiting and when we saw that it didn't start we asked and they told us that it was for the weekends, in short, it was very good.

The guide Francis was outstanding! He explained throughout the tour each place with simple words and a thousand historical and biographical references. Truly excellent guide and beautiful visit. The whole thing made us curious to learn more about the history of that period by listening to his advice!

the guide took us back in time to Louis XIV, with lots of anecdotes to make us laugh and at the same time learn about our history, thanks to her. However, we didn't really enjoy the morning we wanted to spend in the gardens. However, the QR code we had didn't give us access to the gardens...we had to wait for the visit to the chateau to get the tickets for the gardens and the Trianons. It's a bad experience that I hope you'll improve for future buyers, as you don't mention it when buying tickets!

    Upgrade to all-access tickets to explore the ornate King and Queen's State Apartments. Learn about the French monarchy and explore the themed salons and their elaborate ceiling paintings. Next, make your way to the glittering Hall of Mirrors. Designed to protect the ornate walls and ceilings from smoke, the hall’s 357 mirrors were strategically placed to reflect the light of candles.
