Discover Versailles, which most visitors do not take the time to explore. Starting before the crowds, stroll through the magnificent gardens of André Le Nôtre and the secret groves of the Sun King.

After some free time for lunch on the shores of the Little Venice, explore the private world of Marie Antoinette at the Petit Trianon and the charming Hamlet of the Queen.

Your Guide will adapt the tour to your interests and the pace you want to adopt, ensuring a personalized and rewarding visit. The “Passport” ticket is included; it gives you access to the Grand Apartments and the Hall of Mirrors, so you can explore these famous places as you please.

This immersive experience offers a unique opportunity to understand how Versailles became the symbol of absolute power and then the scene of the fall of the monarchy by addressing its gardens, history, architecture and the hectic life of the Royal Court.
