PALATIAL VERSAILLES

Luxury 5-Star Escape in Paris & Versailles Palace Tour

Indulge in this luxury Versailles break, with 5-star hotel, Michelin star dining, a private and unique Versailles tour.

One of France’s most celebrated bijou jewels, Versailles was the exquisite creation of one of history’s most notable, if notorious, monarchs, Le Roi Soleil, Louis XIV. Originally his father’s hunting lodge, Louis XIV transformed the site to become a beautiful symbol of royal absolutism and embodiment of classical French art. King Louis regarded himself as a monarch chosen by God, cultivating his image carefully and using the sun as his emblem. Versailles was part of his effort to display the undisputable power of the 'monarque absolu'.

Private Versailles Tour

On this unique, luxury Versailles tour, you will encounter the full splendour and tragedy of the palace. Staying in a 5-star luxury hotel in central Paris, your private, licensed driver-guide will pick you up on your first morning and take you on the blissful journey to Versailles. En route, the guide will introduce the history of the palace and the century of Le Roi Soleil.

The visit initiates with the Royal Chapel, followed by the visit of the King's Grand Apartments, with its sumptuously decorated rooms (Hercules Salon, Abondance Salon, Venus, etc). The visit of the King’s Grand Apartment will lead you to the magnificent Hall of Mirrors, that served daily as a passageway and a meeting place for courtiers and visiting public. You will continue your visit with the  War Room, the Queen's Grand Apartments (Guard's Room, Salon Des Nobles , Queen's Bedchamber), the Peace Room and the Hall of French History.

After the visit of the Palace, your guide will take you for a walk into the exceptional French-style Gardens to discover the planted architectural patterns and groves. There you will look down on the grand perspective that leads the gaze from the Water Parterre along the Grand Canal to the horizon

Before heading back to Paris, you guide will drive you through the Royal Park to discover the outside of the Grand Trianon, The Petit Trianon and the Hamlet of the Queen
