About this tour
Versailles is vast, crowded and full of detail, and it rewards a guide who can slow down and point things out. On this semi-private tour you explore the palace in a very small group, so there’s room to stop, look up at the painted ceilings and ask about anything that catches your eye.
You’ll follow the story from Louis XIV’s grand vision to the court life of Louis XV and Louis XVI, and to the day in October 1789 when a crowd from Paris marched on the palace and the royal family left Versailles for good.
