Overview:
Journey to the heart of French history and experience the unparalleled grandeur of Versailles Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a testament to the power and opulence of the French monarchy.
Immerse yourself in the rich history of Versailles, a place where kings and queens reigned supreme and grand soirées unfolded. Witness the echoes of the past as you explore the palace's hidden corners and listen to the tales of those who once walked these halls
Absolutely stunning and a masterpiece of wealth and power. The sheer size of the palace and gardens are overwhelming. If you do the palace and gardens there is an awful lot to take in and a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes and make sure you bring lots of water. The bottles they sell in the shop are small and expensive! There is limited food choice and €7.50 for a cheese and ham baguette, no butter is overpriced as is €3 for a Coca-Cola or water. That said visiting the palace was always on my wish list and I’m glad I did -just take your own food and drink if you are there all day.
It is important to mention, that Versailles has no WIFI! The estate is also huge, so prepare yourself for a whole day for walking, and wear comfortable shoes/sandals. Also the bottles they sell in the shop are small and expensive, and once you leave the palace the facilities are few and far between. With all that said prepare yourself by bringing your own food and drink, because you will be in Versailles all day and it will go by quickly as you are amazed by all the great historical significance the place holds.
It's stunning! Do go as early as you can - it gets very crowded. Inside, the crowds are on a path through the palace. Since we had first entrance, crowds were manageable. Be prepared for walking, there are benches scattered all over, so resting is possible. I advise you to bring your own water and snacks but there are places to eat, grab a snack and it seemed possible to do that without too much waiting. It is all pretty, but some tourists just don't understand how to not admire with dignity. The selfie sticks and pushing was obnoxious to say the least. There is staff around if you have questions, but mostly they just make sure tourists don't touch the artifacts.
