VERSAILLES CASTLE

Thanks to the tour, you could discover, fabulous rooms of the palace such as:

• The King's Grand Apartments, a succession of lounges richly decorated rooms to the glory of the Sun King.
• The Queen's Large Apartments.
• The Hall of Mirrors: masterpiece of Versailles! 17 windows adorned with mirrors opening onto the gardens follow one another along the 73 meters of the gallery. Colbert wishing to compete with products from Venice created a factory in Paris to manufacture these mirrors of exceptional dimensions.
• The King's Chamber which occupied the center of the castle in 1701 and which was the main framework for the king's ruling life.
• The Queen's chambers, the chamber is the main room of the apartment, the one where the Queen spent most of her time. She slept here, often joined by the King.

THE GARDENS OF VERSAILLES

Enjoy your free time to stroll the magnificent French gardens designed by Le Nôtre: nature is tamed, flowerbeds are geometric and the aisles are structured.
The fountains pools and terraces obey the laws of optical illusion, so the Grand Canal seems close when standing at the foot of the castle.

FOUNTAIN WATER SHOW and MUSIC GARDENS

On weekends and public holidays, the fountains offer a fabulous spectacle with Baroque music. The "Grandes Eaux de Versailles" show takes place on weekends from April to October and on public holidays, the "Musical Gardens of Versailles" takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays from early April to November 1st.
