Review & FAQ:

Versailles undoubtedly deserves a spot on every visitor’s list of day trips from Paris. Although most people sign up for a tour of the palace and gardens of Versailles, which are a must-see, there is a lot more on offer, so set aside a full day to explore.

You can buy a day pass that includes tours of the palace, the surrounding park and gardens, Marie Antoinette’s estate, admission to the grand Musical Fountains Show (weekends), and an audio guide. Once you have toured the incredible palace you can stroll through the historical districts of Versailles on a self-guided walking tour, visit the Maréchalerie (the Contemporary Art Center), and shop for gourmet foods and antiques at a local market.
