Well preserved - If you are a history buff, you would appreciate this palace and hearing how things were run back in the day.
The gardens are BEAUTIFUL, you could get lost in the labyrinth. I think everything is very well preserved.
One tip would be to go really early or later in high season as the queues can get really long. I would say really early in the morning or from 2pm, the place closes at 6pm so you would need enough time to look around. Getting there is quite straight forward if you go with public tansport. It is a 10 minute walk from the train station.

Do not book - Driver never turned up. Couldn’t reach them so trip never happened. With only two days in Paris this was a major disappointment. Thus I would recommend not booking this trip.

It's great when they don't come and get you - I have had this tour booked for MONTHS. I emailed the tour operator directly and advised them of where I was staying in Paris, and I was told to be ready to be collected at my hotel at 9am on the day of the tour.
I was in the lobby at 8:45am, and by 9.15am I had my hotel ringing the company asking where they were.
I was told "because you booked so far in advance, we forgot to put you on the run sheet for today so the tour has already left and we won't be coming to get you"
I was BEYOND annoyed. I had paid over $250 Australian Dollars for this tour, and I was left sitting in the hotel because someone couldn't do the ONE thing their job requires of them.
I was forced to spend more money to get on another tour (with another operator) and I could only get a half day tour which isn't enough time, and all I got from this operator was the refund (which I was entitled to) and a half hearted "sorry" through the hotel receptionist
