Versailles is said to be one of the biggest achievements of the 17th and 18th centuries in terms of art and architecture - it is a huge part of France’s history, and there is so much that happened here that you’ll be able to learn about. Travel back in time to the days of Louis XIII and see how the Palace of Versailles has changed since it’s more humble beginnings.
Explore the Gardens in the sun
Once your guide has shown you the inside of the Palace, you’ll be able to head outside and admire the spectacular Gardens of Versailles.

After the show, take some time to walk around and admire the olive groves and incredible landscaping. It’s a soothing experience like no other!
