Visit to the Versailles Estate with audio guide – Priority access

Treat yourself to VIP priority access to the estate of the kings and queens of France, the Palace of Versailles, a UNESCO world heritage site!

This sumptuous palace started out as a hunting lodge belonging to Louis XIII. It was only during the reign of Louis XIV that the chateau was extended after extensive work. By making it the home of the royal court in 1982, the Sun King began to turn it into the palace that we see today: one of the finest works of French art of the 17th century.

Start by going directly to number 10 avenue du Général de Gaulle, opposite the RER Versailles Rive Gauche station (only 300 m from the entrance to the palace, in order to pick up your audio guide.

Next, you will follow a hostess up to the priority access point for groups, giving you access within just a few minutes to more than 3 centuries of history.

Then you are free to go off on a self-guided tour at your own pace with an ‘Audiopen’ audio guide and interactive map. You can visit the palace and gardens (including the estate of Marie-Antoinette) and stroll along the avenues designed by André Le Nôtre for the Sun King. The Musical Fountains Show, included in the price for weekends and some Tuesdays, will provide an added bonus to your tour.
