The Tour (Tour Code: VT)
The lavish decoration at Versailles reflects the will of King Louis XIV known as the "Sun King" and the sheer extravaganza which eventually led to the French Revolution. There is however much more to Versailles than the palace itself and the famous Andr? Le N?tre gardens. In a huge park surrounding the Versailles site, there are two small castles named "Le Grand et Petit Trianons", former summer residences of the Kings who loved to rest here and forget about the etiquette of the court. Our guide will enthrall clients with tales of the French Kings and Queens and bring to life this legendary chapter of French history.

Itinerary
Versailles is more than a Palace surrounded with beautiful gardens. It also has a huge park where one can discover two lovely castles named Grand and Petit Trianons, former summer residences for the Kings who loved to rest and forget about the
?Etiquette? of the Court. In the morning, guided visit to the State Apartments of the Palace (Hall of Mirrors, Queen?s Bedroom?) and free time to take a walk in the beautiful gardens.
Short city sightseeing in the open top deck bus. Lunch (drinks included) in the park near the Grand Canal. In the afternoon, you will visit the Grand and Petit Trianon and stroll in the park up to Marie- Antoinette?s Hamlet, the fancy farm where she loved to welcome her best friends and play at shepherding. In her theatre, she used to go on the stage. She certainly lived there the best hours in her life.
