Discover the Château de Versailles on a half-day excursion from Paris!

You'll depart from central Paris in the early afternoon to travel by coach to France's most famous royal palace. On arrival, you'll be taken directly to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Versailles.

You'll be free to explore the sumptuous château, former residence of French kings Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI. You'll stroll through the majestic Galerie des Glaces, the Grands Appartements, the King's and Queen's bedroom, witnesses to the grandeur of the French monarchy.

You'll continue your visit in the vast formal gardens designed by André Le Nôtre. Sculptures, basins and bosquets will punctuate your stroll through this masterpiece of landscape art.

You'll also have access to the Trianon estate. You'll visit the Grand Trianon, an elegant pink marble palace, then the Petit Trianon, Marie-Antoinette's favorite place. Don't miss the Hameau de la Reine, a small reconstituted country village where she liked to retreat.

Thanks to the "Palace of Versailles" mobile app, you'll benefit from audio commentary in the language of your choice to enrich your discovery. The app also features an interactive map of the estate.

At the end of the afternoon, you'll meet your coach for the return trip to Paris.
