From Royal home to the birthplace of the French Revolution, the Palace of Versailles was at the heart of French power throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
After being driven to Versailles, the day begins with your personal guide taking your party on a private guided tour of the magnificent Gardens of Versailles (Jardins de Versailles), containing 1,980 acres of garden and over 210,000 flowers, which are planted annually.
After enjoying the beautiful fountains its time to enter the Château itself, a sprawling palatial compound which houses a collection of art and treasures that needs to be seen to be believed:
Be transported back in time as you discover the Palace where the Sun King, Louis XIV, officially settled his court and government in 1682. Discover the stunning interiors of the King’s and the Queen’s State Apartments, the Royal Chapel and the Hall of mirrors to admire where Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, once lived. Truly, a palace fit for a king.

Looking to make a full day itinerary? A popular option with the Magical Versailles Tour is a visit to Giverny, a typical quaint French village in the heart of the countryside to discover the inspiration for one of the world's most famous painters, Claude Monet.
Let your guide take you on a journey of discovery, stepping into the paintings of the master of Impressionism as you tour his private home and studio. Monet's gardens were inspired by the traditional Japanese gardens he knew only from prints. To put it simply, the real gardens of today are straight out of a painting: beautiful orchards, ponds draped with weeping willows and bamboo trees, and water lilies that stay in bloom all season. Become emersed in Monet's world as you take in his real life inspirations, seeing first-hand the famous water lilies (nymphéas) and the Japanese bridge that featured in so many of Monet's masterpieces.
