Palace of Versailles
The chateau and gardens count among the most prestigious monuments of the world’s artistic heritage, and are certainly the finest and most complete achievement of 17th century French art. Former residence of the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV, this sumptuous royal palace was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. The guided tour of the palace includes the State Apartments of the King and Queen, Royal Chapel and Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery which boasts 357 mirrors, french bay windows and crystal chandeliers.

Well organised. Our Guide Eric was a fantastic storyteller. It made the experience so much more meaningful to learn about the history behind the Royals and their home in Versailles

Olivia was wonderful. I would suggest an earlier time. I went at 11 and some areas were pretty packed in July. But the property is so vast it was very helpful to have a guide
