Breakfast
Start your day with an exploration of the iconic Palace of Versailles (UNESCO). A guide will lead you through the Private Apartments of King Louis XIV, the Sun King, who transformed his father’s hunting lodge into the resplendent seat of the Royal Court. Continue your visit independently through the lavish State Apartments. From the prominent Hall of Mirrors to the opulent bedchamber of the queen, take in Versailles’ most famous sights at your own pace. This afternoon, your exploration continues in the palace’s grandiose formal gardens, where the Baroque fountains regularly spout water to the tune of classical music.** Today breakfast will be included.
**The musical fountain show is available on Saturdays and Sundays between early April and late October. Depending on the season, there are different experiences. Please consult your Tour Manager while on tour as the exact starting date changes yearly depending on weather conditions and local holidays. If your stay is between the end of June to early September, a Night Visit with Fireworks Show (Les Grandes Eaux Nocturnes) may occur. If you are interested, we encourage you to consult the official Versailles site and program and buy the tickets in advance.
