TOUR DESCRIPTION

Le Havre Shore Excursion

This Le Havre Shore trip visits the most famous Chateau in France and likely all of Europe. In addition to visiting the stunning Chateau of Versailles there is time to see the beautiful gardens and much more.

After meeting your driver-guide you immediately depart for Versailles. When you arrive you will have about 5 hours to enjoy an audio guided visit to the Chateau. There is also time to have lunch, explore the gardens and much more.

Your ticket includes the Palace, the estate of Trianon, the Gardens and Park, the Coach Gallery and temporary exhibits. If the Musical Gardens or Fountain shows are happening, you will also have access.

The Chateau of Versailles was built over the period of 1623 to 1710. It was started by Louis XIII, then continued by his son Louis XIV and finished by Louis XV. It started out as a hunting manor, but was continually added on to.

The building is so large that at one point over 10,000 people lived in it, including the entire royal court, the government and their servants. The interior highlights include the Hall of Mirrors, the King's Apartments and the Queen's Apartments.

Due to overcrowding Louis XIV had a small palace (Le Petite Trianon) built in the woods behind the ch̢teau so that his immediate family could vacation away from the main building. Louis XV's wife, Marie Antoinette, had a small farm (L'Hameau) built around a pond so she too could escape the crowds and play at being an idyllic shepherdess complete with perfumed sheep!

The formal grounds, fountains, reflecting pools, lakes, smaller palace and hamlet are just as impressive as the main building.

After your visit to Versailles you return to the pier in Le Havre.

Just returned from London yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that all went well and the guides were outstanding. Had a fabulous time and looking forward to working with you again. The guides were very professional and on time. One was 30 minutes late, but we forgave him... He turned out to be a very good guide. I think it was in Belfast. Leaving for Honolulu for the month of August Wed, so have a lot to do before that date. Thanks again.

Reviewer: Sarah H from Santa Barbara, CA

Thank you for contact me. We all had a great time with your company. We found your guides to be ontime and the vehicles were clean and perfect and the AC worked! We did take a ship tour Palma and that was aweful - especially after being spoiled with private tours in Italy, Spain and France. Our 17 day sailing went very smooth. Ill write a nice review on trip advisor. The guide in La Rochelle was the most wonderful lady. She was a sommelier and she had us tasting the best wines.

The group enjoyed the shore excursions very much. The tours guides were good, responsible and on time. Vehicles were also comfortable and not too cramped. Will definitely be contacting you for my next cruise on Crystal leaving Barcelona on October 2027.

Thank you for reaching out. The tours were wonderful and both guides were excellent. We had to cut the Belgium tour short as I had the flu and didnt know it. Next time we visit, we will be coming when its warmer. Thanks for all of your help!
