Day-by-Day Overview

Tour Itinerary

Tour Itinerary: Witness Versailles & Gardens Landmarks

After an early Paris pick-up, meet your guide and fellow travellers aboard a comfortable coach bound for Versailles. As you roll through the suburbs, enjoy a brief history talk and light snack.

Morning Palace Immersion – Skip the ticket queue and enter directly into Louis XIV’s legendary château. With your guide’s storytelling, stride through the King’s State Apartments, marvel at the shimmering Hall of Mirrors where the 1919 Treaty was signed, and peek into the Queen’s bedchamber.

Garden Grandeur – Late morning, step onto the terrace and feel the vista open onto symmetrical parterres, fountains and groves. A mini-train ride gives a sweeping overview, after which you can wander the Orangery steps, pose by the Apollo Fountain or catch the jets choreographed to Baroque music (show days only).

Mid-day Freedom – Your guide points out cafés and crêperies bordering the market square. Enjoy free time to sample a croissant jambon-fromage or shop for royal-themed keepsakes.

Afternoon Trianon View – Re-board the coach for a panoramic spin past the delicate pink-marble Grand Trianon and Marie-Antoinette’s storybook Hamlet (external view).

Return to Paris by late afternoon, refreshed with memories of France’s Golden Age, without the king-sized bill.
