Get married here! Buy a normal admission ticket and head out to the gardens behind the Grand Trianon. Totally secluded and beautiful. Pack some wine, cheese, and speakers for your reception!
Though its a far walk from the main palace, be sure to visit Marie Antoinette's Hamlet in her personal grounds. The small cottage town she had built to "play commoner" looks like a Disney movie scene.
Pro-tip: Buy a ticket for a guided tour (ie King’s apartments, entrance E) and pop into the palace after. Will avoid the long line (entrance A), and they will print your tickets for you.
It's a must visit master piece ! Specially the gardens and the fountains. Fountain shows are on Saturdays and Sunday's only till end of Oct. The line is forever long, worth to book a tour to skip line
Each room is just MORE than the previous one. Amazing place so give yourself loads of time to enjoy it. I would definitely recommend buying the skip queue ticket. 2 1/2 hours mid week in March!!!
The palace itself is lovely but the grounds are just as good or better. Bring your drivers license so you can rent a little golf cart and drive around. Audio guide is free and really neat.
A must see, in easy reach by RER from central Paris. Make sure to get the audio guide, you'll miss great background otherwise and the movies about the history of Versailles play audio through them.
beautiful place and gardens but get an early train and try to avoid the huge queues under the sun/rain. Take at the train station food and water with you and be prepared for waiting time.
The first Sunday of the month is free-that means EVEN MORE people. It is one of the rare wonders of the world that is worth battling crowds for, but if you can: pay for it and go on a weekday.
Take the time to go there it is amazing, but be there early because there are usually alot of tourists and you will wait in line for a while. The place is huge and there is a beautiful garden as well
Incredible history. The palace was a bit tacky and depressing but the gardens were beautiful!! Other than that, it was a great experience being a part of French history.
Entrance is free if you're an icomos member. It's breathtaking & must see,painting & gardens & interior😍all in one.it can be reach by a train few stops away from the Paris.
its incredible!you need a lot of time to see all of it so go early in the morning you will find long queues to the entrances and to buy the tickets go directly to the machines so you will save up time
Impressive place. Gardens obviously nicer in the summer. Antoinette's farm was my fave. Guided tours worth it to see more of the palace. Also afternoons are calmer, less crowded.
This would have to be my favorite place that I visited in the Ile de France area. The palace is enormous & full of history. You could spend an entire day or two here and not get bored. Have a picnic!
DO NOT come on a Monday... Castle was closed! 😢 So we walked the entire Chanal (seriously) and it was wonderful. Will be back someday to see the inside but certainly the outiside is worth your while!
The Palace is just in front of the train station and close, there’s a bus that can take you to and from Le Grand Trianon. Inside the Domain you can rent a golf cart. DON’T FORGET TO ARRIVE QUITE EARLY
Even if you buy your tickets in advance you still have to make the line as everyone else. The Gardens are free, so I would suggest avoid paying the building on busy days and just enjoy outside
This famous building is a must-see if you love history and stunning architecture. One of the largest palaces in the world, this is home to the famous Hall of Mirrors. The Palace opens at 9am.
Worth the trip AND the line. Buy ticket online, get there early. Bring snacks/drink because the line is long (no getting around that) Wear comfyshoes. Spend all day here bc it's stunning.
Very impressive and grand sight that's well worth travelling while in Paris. In winter gardens are less appealing. Crowds can be brutal at peak times, both waiting to get in and inside.
Leave sufficient time to take a short, leisurely stroll thru the formalgardens designed by Le Notre. Topiary trees, fountains and bronze sculptures dot the garden with a Vista that stretches for 3km!
The palace and grounds are stunning but as a museum it leaves something to be desired. Also, everything they say about the lines and other tourists is true.
This place is truly amazing. Every detail is so ornate. Good place to visit in the winter off-season although there are still some school groups to navigate around.
The palace possesses a royal beauty that is rare and mesmerizing. Why does it feel small, in a way? It's an intimate estate with a fog of history over it.
Palace and Park of Versailles are marked as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don't forget to walk through the park, rent a boat, check the Trianonvillage, and other amazing things
Temporary exhibition in the palacegardens featuring the sculptural works by Korean artist Lee Ufan. Dotted around the gardens, since of the works have never been seen/exhibited before.
Must Do: Take a 90-minute guided tour, which will take you to private areas of the Palace that are not accessible to the general public. First building on the right, before the big line. Come early.
There's a lot more to Versailles than the chateau. Bring a picnic basket and have lunch in the gardens. They are huge and beautiful, you can find your own space away from the crowds.
A must see in Paris the palace close on 6pm and the garden on 8:30 pm there are coffe shops there and u can enjoy ur visiting. The garden is a part of heaven
Words are lacking to describe this majestic palace, which is definitely a must-see when visiting Paris! We recommend you to go out of the main path and loose yourself in the huge Gardens :)
Make sure you rent a golf cart instead of going on the train! Totally worth it. The golf cart has an automatic audio tour in English that syncs with wherever you are in the gardens.
Amazing place. It's very interesting (and sad to think) that no matter how many bloody revolutions there are, few find the way to take over the power and control the others politically and financially
I love it like Läckö Castle its so wonderful and lovely it smells 1600 century you Know 1300 rooms it was 2000 before 1789 go there and enjoy it fr.o.m. The bottom of your heart like me twice 19942009
Order tickets online and show on your phone. Either do a tour or go straight to the gardens and Marie Antoinette's houses to skip the massively long line in. Palace is awesome but gardens r better.
I came here in January and used my Paris Pass so I didn't have to wait in line. However, they closed the gardens and Trianonpalaces due to snow and frost. If going in winter, check availability.
Really awesome castle but VERY crowdy inside. You don't have time to look long on something. The garden is breathtaking and definitely worth the visit.
HUGE, it's almost impossible to do everything by foot, a method of transportation is very recommended. The rooms are interesting but they show almost the same thing: opulence. But it's worth visiting!
