Your experience

Live your Royal fantasies on this full-day guided tour of the Palace of Versailles, its gardens, Queen Marie Antoinette's enchanting private estate, Petit Trianon, and custom-made Normandy village built to give her a glimpse into the countryside.

Palace of Versailles

Begin your journey by meeting your guide in central Paris at 8:00am and hop onto the RER train to Versailles, accompanied by them. Once you arrive at the Palace of Versailles, you can enjoy the benefit of direct access with your skip-the-line tickets to begin your royal adventure. Get to see the Hall of Mirrors and the State Apartments as you walk through the corridors. Let your guide take you through the history of the royal family, daily life in the court, and the culture. Enter the spectacular gardens after you visit the Palace before making your way to Queen Marie Antoinette's private estate. The gardens used to host balls and parties that were lavish. After the gardens, you can stop for a quick lunch at any of the cafes or restaurants recommended by your guide. Feel free to explore French cuisines while there.

The Lavish lifestyle of Queen Marie Antoinette

Now that you're re-energized after lunch, it is time to visit the Petit Trianon, a private luxurious palace, designed keeping the Queen's preferences in mind. There is a private theatre, hamlet, and bespoke gardens. Move to your next pit stop, the Normandy village, which was built to let her get a taste into the life of country folks. Farms, vineyards, and a dairy were built to enhance her experience. End your tour by going back to the main palace and hopping back on the train to central Paris at leisure.
