Hey there! When your guide picks you up from your hotel and whisks you off to Versailles, get ready to dive into a world of history and grandeur. As you journey towards the palace, your guide will regale you with tales of the Sun King’s reign and the lavish lifestyle of the court back in the day.
Versailles is no ordinary estate – it’s a sprawling masterpiece with three chateaux, stunning gardens, and parks that will leave you in awe. Louis XIV, the Sun King, transformed Versailles into a symbol of absolute monarchy in the 17th century, showcasing his creative vision in every corner.
Your adventure continues as you explore the State Apartments, including the opulent Hall of Mirrors, the regal King and Queens’ apartments, and the impressive Hall of Battles, all with the help of an audioguide. Take a leisurely stroll through the fountains, marvel at the water displays, and soak in the sounds of live music concerts by Lully (catch the water jets in action from April to October on Saturdays and Sundays).
After a delightful lunch break (lunch not included), your next stop is the Grand Trianon, also known as the Marble Trianon. Wander through the Park and discover the newly renovated “Domaine de Marie Antoinette,” featuring the charming Small Trianon and the picturesque Hamlet Village.
So, get ready to step back in time and immerse yourself in the splendor of Versailles – a truly unforgettable experience awaits!
