Discover the place where French decadence was born. Transformed from a hunting lodge into a grandiose palace, the residence of the Sun King has dazzled the whole world. Versailles has set a high standard in many fields: architecture, garden design, etiquette, ceremonies, and much more. You will be able to experience the splendid fast of the French 17th century as you walk through the Hall of Mirrors and discover the King and Queen's apartments, and the daily ceremonies from dawn to dusk. From the ballroom to the hidden passageway, you will have time to discover all the hidden secrets of Versailles. From impressive gardens designed by Le Nôtre to the charming cottages and Trianon where Marie Antoinette enjoyed seeking refuge, you will be able to envision the beauty of the French court and feel as if you were traveling to the 17th and 18th centuries.
This is a private tour. We will meet at the statue in front of Versailles Palace, but I can help you navigate from your hotel upon request. Your tickets will have already been purchased and you will be able to skip the line in order to fully enjoy your royal day at Versailles. We will focus on the timelines and historical characters that you are most interested in: Louis XIV and his ministers and mistresses, Louis XV and the Pompadour, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, the Revolution, etc. I will talk to you about the architecture, the furniture, the textiles, the culinary traditions, court etiquette, the outfits of the court ladies, and much more. Among the highlights of the day, there will be: - The Hall of Mirrors - The Royal Chapel - The King's Apartments - The Queen's Apartments - The Throne Room - The Ballroom - Le Nôtre's French Gardens - Marie Antoinette's hamlet and farm (with lovely animals, in season) - The Trianon - The splendid Neptune Fountain
