The organization of queues to enter the château needs to be reviewed. Likewise, there aren't enough security gates to ensure smooth access. Waiting outside with no real signage and in bad weather spoils the moment a little. Last but not least, indications in the rooms are so well hidden or non-existent that you have to take the audioguide. It's a pity that our heritage has become nothing more than a business for brainless influencers.

The tour of the château was just what we'd hoped for. It would be ideal to set up a special photo line for certain key rooms. The wait before entering the château was far too long, given that it was a time-stamped ticket (ticket 11:30 a.m. entry at 12:15 p.m.).

I loved the magnificent beauty and grandeur of the palace. Incredibly beautiful. The Hall of Mirrors was breathtaking. I also enjoyed listening to the audio tour. However, I do have a recommendation regarding that. I would have appreciated it if ear phones would have been provided. After touring the palace for three hours, my arm got soar holding up the audio device to my ears.

Ticketing was easy to navigate, and directions from the metro station were very clear. It was easy to get into the palace and overall was a wonderful experience.

normally, we don't book entrance tickets at non-official sites due to the many fakes and traps circulating on the net... But the official site "www.chateauversailles.fr" just did not work. (It also forces to accept cookies). So we tried "headout". All worked fine.

All you can explore at the Palace of Versailles

Begin your visit with the opulent King and Queen's State Apartments. Uncover the history of the French monarchy and glimpse the personal lives of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XIV. 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. With just a few flames, the reflection from so many mirrors was enough to light up the whole hall!

Use your passport to tour the Palace of Versailles

Your upgraded ticket gives you access to the most famous places within the royal estate including the Royal Palace, the Park, Gardens, Marie Antoinette’s Estate, and entry to any exhibitions on show at the time of your visit. It is worth paying extra for an upgraded Passport ticket, which includes access to the Musical Fountain and Garden shows.

Explore 250 acres of gorgeously landscaped lawns and fountains

After exploring the palace interiors, step outside to admire the estate's grand architecture. Stroll through the cobblestone paths, the stunning French gardens, and the fountains. Next, visit Marie Antoinette's Estate and uncover the Queen's private world at the Petit Trianon. Walk around the Village of the Queen and English Gardens, then see where Marie Antoinette built her own house, a Mill, a Preparation Dairy, a Cave, a Belvedere, and the magnificent Temple of Love where lovers get engaged. At the Carrosses Gallery, travel back in time as you explore carriages, coaches, sculptures, and other artifacts left behind by the French Monarch.
