• Palace of Versailles - The guide will meet visitors at the palace gates, right next to the prominent bronze statue of Louis XIV. Before entering, the guide will provide a brief overview of the transformation from a simple hunting lodge to one of the most magnificent royal palaces ever constructed.
• The Hall of Mirrors - The Hall of Mirrors is truly breathtaking. It stretches 73 meters, featuring 357 mirrors on one side and 17 arched windows on the other, filling the gallery with light. The guide will explain the significance of this room, from Louis XIV’s grand display of wealth to the historic treaty signed here in 1919.
• Jardins du Chateau de Versailles - Upon stepping outside, the vastness of the gardens becomes apparent. Designed by André Le Nôtre, the grounds feature long straight paths, meticulously sculpted hedges, and expansive fountain basins that seem endless. Visitors are encouraged to explore freely and wander as they wish.
• Le Grand Trianon - A brief stroll through the gardens leads to the Grand Trianon, a smaller pink marble palace built by Louis XIV for respite from court life. It offers a quieter, more intimate experience than the main palace, allowing visitors to explore the rooms and gardens at their leisure.
• Le Petit Trianon - The final stop is Le Petit Trianon, a neoclassical retreat that Marie Antoinette personalized. She redesigned the gardens, redecorated the interiors, and used it as a private escape from the formalities of palace life. Visitors can explore at their own pace and appreciate the story of how she transformed this small palace into her personal haven.
