Join us for a 3 hour guided visit to the glorious Chateau of Versailles. See the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, discover the lavish state apartments and explore the magnificent gardens with an expert guide. After your tour, enjoy a delicious gourmet lunch at the exquisite Ore restaurant in the palace run by world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse.

Versailles was the most splendid capital in the world during the reign of King Louis XIV. Courtiers and diplomats came from all over Europe to admire the decor and curry favour with the king. Crowds are still lining up at the gates today, but our pre-booked entrance tickets will guarantee you direct access.

Enjoy astonishing stories about how the royal family went about their daily life in the public gaze. Learn about the lavish lifestyle of the French court and particularly that of Marie Antoinette. Her excesses at Versailles failed to impress the French people, and in 1789 she fell from power never to see the palace again.

Your guide will also show you hidden groves in the gorgeous gardens, once the setting for royal promenades, lavish parties and pyrotechnics!

After your tour, take the opportunity to dine like a king in beautiful 18th century salons in the Chateau. Chef Alain Ducasse is world famous for his inspired cooking, combining fresh, local ingredients to produce timeless and contemporary dishes.

Admire the views of the chateau while you feast on some of the best French food. It’s the perfect way to end your tour!
