We loved Versailles, even though it rained and thundered all afternoon. The palace is beautiful and although it was busy, the crowds ebbed at times so it was possible to find less busy parts. The audio guide was very good, but often the room numbers weren't at the start of the room and sometimes we could see the numbers at all which was frustrating. The Hall of Mirrors did not disappoint, I've read about it for years and loved finally seeing it. Yummy crepe in the garden cafe too. Wish it had been sunnier, but my daughter pointed out that some of the rooms were very hot and if it had been sunny they might have been unbearable so maybe it was for the best. The gardens are beautiful, and we would have loved to row on the grand canal, but not in the pouring rain!

The true surprise at Versailles was the Hameau de la Reine, the rustic village dreamed up and built for Marie Antoinette. The stone and timber cottages, with their thatched roofs, seem as though they have stepped out of a pastoral fairy tale. Around them lie simple gardens, a quiet pond with swans, and small arched bridges—all composing a tableau of unexpected delicacy. There, far from the rigid etiquette of the court, the queen found her refuge, dreaming of an idyllic life away from the oppressive splendor of the palace. The fairy-tale atmosphere, filled with tranquility and natural charm, stands in sharp contrast to the cold monumentality of Versailles and remains, perhaps, the most authentic part of the estate.

The tickets booked corresponded to the possible accesses to visit the Palace of Versailles and its surroundings. However, we only benefited (fortunately for us) from the official rate (€32.00) when we booked a special time slot....when you advertised the other time slots at higher rates.... The Versailles site offices find this situation highly unusual.... Finally, in our case, we were lucky enough to avoid a surcharge that would have left us with the bitter taste of having been "ripped off". In future, we'll be even more careful to ensure that we only visit sites officially recognized as such.

We had tickets for 12.30pm. Everything was well organized and admission began shortly after 12 noon. Despite the time slot, we had to wait about 15 minutes to get into the castle. We were amazed by the castle! Totally beautiful and huge. The garden was also breathtaking. Luckily we had comfortable shoes on because the gardens were worth the many steps! We spent the whole day there. Nice that we still got tickets.

Everything went very smoothly. It was perfectly organized. The only thing we didn't like was the English language. We're French. We live in France and were only going to visit Versailles, which is 300 km from home. The app spoke to us in English, and for the meeting points, they phoned us in English even though we were in France...

The castle is very impressive. A must see in Paris. The entrance fee is definitely worth it. Be sure to buy tickets in advance on the castle's website. Usually sold out on site.

I visited the Palace of Versailles last Wednesday and was incredibly impressed! Despite it being a busy day, the staff managed the crowds very efficiently, which made the experience much more enjoyable. The sheer scale and opulence of Versailles were truly amazing to witness - I actually found it more captivating than the Louvre Museum! A truly unforgettable historical and artistic experience.

The gardens are splendid, but there wasn't enough time to visit them - we didn't know they closed at 5.30pm for July 14th.
