The Versailles Fountain Show was simply splendid. There were many spectators, but the night gave us the impression of being alone in the world as we strolled through the paths. The design of each grove is an invitation to daydream. And what can I say about the fireworks... fabulous! A wonderful family moment!

The show was really lovely . You might consider sending a map of all the different areas with the tickets and advice about the timings as we ended up not being able to enjoy it all. The only problem was the lack of toilet facilities which were not signposted and really difficult to find.

From the start, from registering on Headout to exiting to the parking lot, it was a success. Everything was smooth and professional. Versailles always has surprises in store.

I went with my family to tour the castle, and we visited the garden. It was a very enjoyable visit; we rode bikes, took a canoe ride, and explored the garden’s mazes. It’s very impressive, and I highly recommend it.

The transportation was very well organized, and the show was magnificent—especially the fireworks. The full tour involves a lot of walking. The castle’s app is a little difficult to use.

The gardens are as beautiful as ever. I was a little disappointed by the fountains—many of them were either turned off or under renovation. The app isn't great, and it doesn't have much information.

Experience the Gardens of Versailles as they were intended to be seen, with music, water displays, and spectacular seasonal programming.

Watch dozens of fountains spring to life across the royal gardens as Baroque masterpieces accompany your visit.

Explore ornamental groves, sculptures, fountains, and landscaped pathways designed by André Le Nôtre for Louis XIV.

Choose between the Musical Fountains Show, Musical Gardens Show, or the dazzling Night Fountains Show after sunset.

Did you know? The fountains once required thousands of workers to operate, with water displays activated only when the King approached.

Seeing the fountains at night with the light and laser shows is nice. The fireworks show with the drones is awesome.
