Stop At: Palace of Versailles, Place d'Armes, 78000, Versailles France

Meet your friendly private guide and leave central Paris by luxury minivan to travel to the historic town of Versailles.
Famous as the home of King Louis XIV from 1682 to 1789, the town’s elaborate palace and intricately designed gardens bear testament to his extravagant tastes during his reign.

First stop of the day is the Palace of Versailles, the incredible palatial estate where Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette,
once lived. The building oozes grandeur both from the outside as well as its inside.

Stop At: The Hall of Mirrors, Chateau de Versailles, 78000, Versailles France

Skip past the lines outside the palace with your skip-the-line ticket, and straight inside to explore. On a tour led by your private
guide, discover the palace’s intriguing State Apartments and see the Hall of Mirrors and Queen’s Apartments. While walking, your
guide will keep you entertained with tales of the aristocrats who held court there.

Stop At: Jardins du Chateau de Versailles, Place d'Armes A l'Ouest du Château de Versailles, 78000, Versailles France

family left. The Queen’s Hamlet is nearby, and so head over to visit this next. Created by the esteemed French architect Richard
