• Palace of Versailles - Experience the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles in true royal style. As the guide leads you through a thoughtfully selected array of the palace’s 700 rooms, you will hear fascinating tales of the Sun King, Louis XIV, his successors, their queens, mistresses, and courtiers, including Marie Antoinette and other prominent figures. The palace reached its peak in the 17th and 18th centuries when the Sun King transformed Louis XIII’s modest hunting lodge into the official residence of the French court. Even 300 years later, the palace retains much of its opulent charm.
• The Hall of Mirrors - Stand in the magnificent Hall of Mirrors, La Galerie des Glaces, the venue for royal ceremonies and the signing of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. Uncover stories of luxury, diplomacy, and revolution. Visit the stunning Hall of Mirrors inside Versailles while an enthusiastic English-speaking guide captivates you with tales of royal extravagance, reaching its zenith under the Sun King, Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette.
• The Royal Chapel - Admire the two-level chapel where royal weddings and masses took place. It is a baroque architectural masterpiece.
• Jardins du Chateau de Versailles - If selected, wander freely through Versailles’ magnificent gardens—masterpieces of geometry and symbolism. During the musical fountain show season (Apr–Oct), enjoy live baroque music synchronized with water displays.

The Gardens of the Palace of Versailles were crafted by master gardener André Le Nôtre and court painter Charles le Brun, not as a retreat from the palace, but as an extension of it – with as much splendor (and intrigue) as the interior.
