TOUR DESCRIPTION
 
Paris Day Trip - This Paris day trip Paris visits the Royal Castle of Versailles. You enjoy a tour of the palace interior and free time to enjoy the famous gardens, fountains and reflecting pools.

Upon arrival in Versailles you start with a tour of the chateau which 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. Originally it was as a hunting manor, but was continually added on to, making the grand palace it is today. 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.

After visiting the main palace you have time to explore the gardens. Due to overcrowding Louis XIV had a small palace (Le Petite Trianon) built in the woods behind the chateau 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. At the end of this Paris day trip, you are brought back to your hotel in Paris.

5 of 5 Review Location: Paris July 14, 2024
Reviewer: Tom M from Ponte Vedra Beach FL  
Phillipe was the  hero  of our family with his timeliness, his wonderful attitude, his English ability and his generally accommodating manor. My kids applauded him loudly at the conclusion of our time with him. He was nothing short of superb. He even accompanied us on foot to the Paris train station, having parked the bus, and waited until we were comfortably established there with tickets and seating, before departing us. He was A. Our guide - Alex - was also A. He captivated us with his knowledge and his engaging personality. He was superb! All in all we had a very good experience with your organization and we thank you.

Reviewer: Andy G from Marietta NY  
We safely returned from our trip to Paris. We wanted to thank you once again for our outstanding tour. Valerie is to be commended for fulfilling all our must sees, but adding her personal touches, humor, and knowledge of Paris. Even though we had 2 days of rain she made our days seem filled with sunshine. One suggestion we might make is when ticket are procured that the guide should be included. The driver was fantastic also very calm in Paris trafficglad we didnt have to drive ourselves.Our sincerest gratitude for once again providing us with an outstanding family trip.
