Full description

Versailles is far more than one palace. This reserved-access ticket covers the main château, where the Hall of Mirrors and the King’s and Queen’s State Apartments tell the story of Louis XIV’s court, as well as the vast formal gardens designed by André Le Nôtre, with their parterres, groves and fountains.

Beyond the gardens lie the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon and the Queen’s Hamlet, the quieter retreats where the royal family escaped palace life. The audio guide helps you make sense of it all as you go. Allow at least half a day; many visitors happily stay longer, and you’re free to set your own pace.
