Overview of your Paris tour

Gigantic Versailles !. . was during the 17th and 18th centuries the political center of the French Kingdom and for a large concern of Europe. From a hunting lodge to the Magnificent Palace, the kings didn't hesitate to spend unlimited budgets and use the top artists of the time (architects, painters, sculptors, furniture makers, fountains) to offer the world the French idea of Heaven, Etiquette, and Arts. A few steps away from Paris, travel back to the time of the glorious French kingdom during the Sun King, Louis XV and XVI, the last years of Marie-Antoinette. See, the amazing decor of Versailles and have a look at the majestic French gardens. Taste the best French gastronomy at the Restaurant Ore by Ducasse one of the greatest Michelin chefs in the world, within the castle. Not available on Mondays. The access to the castle depends of the booking time, the time of pick-up will be determined once the booking is confirmed. Please check availability with me before you book.
