Built during the reign of the Sun King, the Palace of Versailles is much more than a simple palace. It is the symbol of absolute power and French elegance. Enjoy quick access to explore its 700 rooms, glittering Hall of Mirrors and royal apartments without wasting a minute.
💡 Did you know? The Hall of Mirrors has 357 mirrors placed in front of the huge windows, creating an illusion of space and incredible light at a time when electricity did not exist!
No visit to Versailles without a visit to its extraordinary gardens, designed by André Le Nôtre. More than 800 hectares of greenery, majestic ponds and hidden groves await you for an unforgettable ride.
🎶 Not to be missed:
✅ Les Grandes Eaux Musicales (in season): a show where the water dances to the rhythm of baroque music.
✅ The basin of Apollo, which recalls the association between Louis XIV and the sun god.
✅ The hidden groves, where the nobility organized parties and secret intrigues!
Away from the palace’s pomp, Marie-Antoinette had created her own little corner of paradise: the Queen’s Hamlet. Designed as a rural village, it allowed him to escape the stifling etiquette of the court and play the farmer… but in a luxurious setting of course ! 🏡🐐
📸 Perfect photo spot: the charming little houses on the lake, worthy of a fairy tale.
L’Opéra Royal de Versailles, inauguré en 1770 pour le mariage de Louis XVI et Marie-Antoinette, est un chef-d’œuvre d’architecture. Ce théâtre, encore en activité aujourd’hui, offre une acoustique exceptionnelle et une décoration en trompe-l’œil qui donne l’impression d’être entièrement en marbre… alors qu’il s’agit de bois peint !
🎭 Astuce : Si vous le pouvez, assistez à un spectacle ici pour une expérience immersive à 100%.
Few people know it, but the King’s Chamber was much more than a resting place for Louis XIV. It was here that the ritual of the Rising and Setting of the King took place, a ceremony where the nobility attended the daily gestures of the sovereign.
👑 Fun fact: Only the most influential courtiers could be present in this room when the king woke up. A privilege that said a lot about their importance!
