One of the most amazing achievements in 17th-century European art is the magnificent Château de Versailles. You’ll meet your experienced guide in the Versailles guided tour and collect your skip-the-line coupons just a few minutes walk from the palace. While purchasing Versailles tickets on-site necessitates queuing in two lines (ticket box office and entry line), your Priority Access pass allows you to skip both. Keep in mind that all guests must pass through security, regardless of their ticket type or vendor. Once inside, take a guided tour of the Castle’s most iconic locations.
Start your tour with a visit to the opulent King and Queen’s State Apartments. Explore the themed salons and their beautiful ceiling paintings to learn about the French royalty. Then proceed to the glistening Hall of Mirrors. The hall’s 357 mirrors were precisely placed to reflect the light of candles and protect the elaborate walls and ceilings from smoke. The reflection from so many mirrors was enough to light up the entire hall with only a few fires!
Approximately 5 million people visit each year and opt for a small group tour of Versailles, while between 8 and 10 million people walk the grounds.

As you make your way around the palace’s highlights, take in its remarkable collection of great art and the meticulous architecture of its 1,250 fireplaces. The King and Queen’s chambers, the church, the coronation room, the Versailles hall of mirrors virtual tour, and the Salon of Abundance will all leave you speechless. After the indoor tour, step outside into the sunlight to see the 1,800-acre grounds’ stunning and maintained gardens.
Generally, you’ll have a Versailles garden tour and some free time to wander on Thursdays, or when booking, it’s better to choose a tour date when either the famous Versailles Fountain Shows or Musical Gardens are running. At the Fountain Shows, see the fountains explode to the strains of a cello, or be charmed by the sheer beauty of classical music at the Musical Gardens event. These shows’ tickets will be included in the tour fee.
Take the next train back to the city when you’re ready to leave. Reflect on the day of sheer indulgence while the train chugs along, gently transporting oneself back through the ages to modern-day Paris.
