Full day at Versailles
Get away from the city and enjoy the palace and gardens of Versailles for a whole day! In the morning you will see the inside of the château and its magnificent rooms with a private guide. Then you’ll head outside and enjoy the gardens in an unhurried fashion. On Sundays in the summer there is the extra fun of the “Musical Fountain” shows.
You then stop for an hour for lunch on your own. We take you to the town of Versailles where there are fine restaurants, or you can picnic on the lawns around the château.
After lunch your guide will show you the other hidden charms of this magnificent palace and its dependencies: The summer palaces of Trianon, the hunting lodge, the Queen’s hamlet… These are lovely buildings are smaller than the château, not seen by the rushed visitor, but full of charm and fascinating history. Your guide will tell lots of gossipy stories about Louis the 14th and his wife and mistresses. Return to Paris around 5 P.M. having had a full day of fresh air and royal French architecture. Entry tickets to the gardens and palaces are included.
