Embark on a Paris to Versailles tour and experience one of the most opulent palaces in the world. Just a short drive from Paris, the Palace of Versailles awaits—a dazzling display of grandeur, gold, and history. Travel in comfort and style with a private chauffeur, arriving at the gates of this legendary UNESCO World Heritage Site, where absolute monarchy, art, and luxury intertwined to shape French history.
Built by King Louis XIV, the Sun King, Versailles transformed from a humble hunting lodge into Europe’s most extravagant royal residence. With 700 rooms, 2,153 windows, and 67,000 square meters of sheer luxury, the palace was designed to impress. During your tour, explore:
For nearly a century, Versailles was the heart of power in France. Nobles, courtiers, and diplomats gathered here, vying for the favor of the most powerful monarchs in Europe. More than just a palace, Versailles was a symbol of prestige, wealth, and absolute monarchy.
To put its scale into perspective, the palace is the size of 12 American football fields or 9 soccer pitches. It was built not just as a home, but as a statement of Louis XIV’s divine rule. After all, when you call yourself The Sun King, your residence must shine just as brightly!
This legendary palace has stood the test of time—don’t wait any longer to experience it for yourself. Reserve your tour today and step into the world of kings, queens, and royal grandeur!
The oh so famous, the oh so iconic Hall of Mirrors dazzles you from the moment you step inside. A masterpiece of Baroque architecture, the gallery is adorned with 357 massive mirrors, reflecting the palace’s splendid gardens. This hall had a number functions, serving as the backdrop for grand ceremonies, sumptuous balls, and crucial diplomatic negotiations. It’s where kings waltzed to the tune of power and prestige.
How nice it would have been to call these apartments your home. Constructed
by Louis XIV, these quarters are a splendid series of chambers and antichambers that overlook the beautiful Marble Courtyard. The subsequent kings Louis XV and Louis XVI also enjoyed these rooms. If you want to get a taste of true luxury and decadence, look no further.
A sprawling series of lush greenery and splendid statuary, the Gardens of Versailles are just as impressive of the palace itself. Designed by André Le Nôtre, and taking over 40 years to complete, the fact that these gardens remain as beautiful today as they did in the 17th century is truly incredible. In fact, to maintain the design of the gardens, everything must be replanted every 100 years.
Imagine having an estate so large that your main palace was not enough. No, in fact you needed to get away even more. So you decide to have a separate castle built nearby. Well, this is exactly what Louis XIV did. This was his family retreat. It was enjoyed long after the kings of France lived in Versailles however. Napoleon himself often stayed here, and made sure it was always in peak condition. Its architecture is markedly Italian, with all of its classical columns, and pink stone.
