Itinerary
Departing from central Paris at 2pm, you’ll head to Versailles on a luxury air-conditioned coach. Versailles was once the capital of France during various years in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century.
Skip the long queues with your fast track entry ticket and follow your guide into one of the most prominent royal palaces in the world. The English-speaking guide will take you through the various rooms of the residence, including the grandiose King’s Grand Apartment, the Queen’s Grand Apartment and the renowned Hall of Mirrors, where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, which ended World War I.
After visiting the Château, you’ll be lead to the wonderful gardens for the stunning Musical Fountain Show (Grandes Eaux Musicales).
You’ll watch as the Fountains come to life as the jets of water intertwine and blend to the rhythm of Baroque music and a show of lights. Providing water to these fountains was extremely challenging when Louis XIV began to expand the garden during his reign.
The coach will drop you off in central Paris at around 7pm.
