Your Experience at the Palace of Versailles

You'll gain access to the Palace of Versailles with timed entry, allowing you two hours to explore its grand halls and beautifully maintained gardens. This is a chance to experience one of France’s most iconic landmarks up close.

How It Works

Show your voucher at the main entrance to begin your visit. Once through security and ticket verification, you're ready to take in everything the estate has to offer on your own schedule.

Highlights of Your Visit

The Palace of Versailles is more than just a building—it’s a symbol of French history and royal power. Originally King Louis XIV's home, it was constructed during the 17th century and continues to impress with its opulent interiors and carefully designed gardens.

Key Attractions

The Gallery of Coaches offers an impressive display of royal carriages, sedan chairs, and sleighs from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Royal Tennis Court is historically significant as it was here that the Tennis Court Oath took place in 1789—an event marking the start of the French Revolution.

Visitors can also check out Temporary Exhibitions, which change regularly to highlight art pieces, historical items, and themes related to Versailles’ rich past. The Park surrounding the palace is open for free, offering a peaceful spot for walking or enjoying a picnic while taking in the scenery.

What You Need To Bring With You

You’ll need a valid photo ID that matches the name on your reservation, should it be asked at the entrance. This helps ensure everything goes smoothly when you arrive.

Items Not Permitted Inside The Palace

Baby strollers are not allowed within the palace grounds. Similarly, pets cannot accompany visitors inside either. Infants under five years old can’t sit on a parent’s lap as there are no infant seats available. Large bags, suitcases, and other oversized luggage must be left outside. Flash photography, tripods, or any filming equipment aren't permitted in the palace, but regular photos without flash are okay.

Accessibility Information

This experience isn’t suitable for wheelchair users, nor is it accessible with a stroller. The layout of the palace may present challenges for individuals who have limited mobility.
