Overview
Discover another side of Versailles, far from the most frequented paths. With your private guide, exclusively dedicated to your group, start before the crowds, explore the magnificent gardens of André Le Nôtre and the secret groves of the Sun King, at your own pace.
After some free time to have lunch on the banks of the Little Venice, discover the intimate world of Marie Antoinette at the Petit Trianon and the charming Queen's Hamlet.
Because this visit is entirely private, your Guide adapts the explanations and pace to your interests. You benefit from a personalized experience, without being mixed with other groups.
The "Passport" ticket is included, with access to the Grand Apartments and the Hall of Mirrors, which you can explore at your leisure.
Discover how Versailles became the symbol of absolute power, then the theater of the fall of the monarchy, through its gardens, its architecture, its history, and the life of the royal court.
