Highlights
With a tour guide dedicated to just your group, this tour allows you to experience Versailles and its extensive grounds without the distraction of outside guests. Upon arrival in the town of Versailles, we will ride to the famous city market to shop for our picnic supplies (cost not included). Then, we’ll cruise through the Château’s enormous grounds along a network of fantastic trails and tree-lined paths, pausing along the way to share the rich history of the palace and French monarchy. After lunch, we’ll continue through the grounds to visit Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet and the Petit Trianon. Finally, our bike tour offers access to the Château to avoid the tremendously long lines. See the room where Marie Antoinette’s guards were killed as they protected her from the mob at the beginning of the Revolution. Walk through the breathtaking Hall of Mirrors where King Louis greeted guests, and centuries later the Treaty of Versailles was signed to end World War I.

About Versailles
Versailles, west of Paris, is the town built around the palace of Louis XIV, with its Hall of Mirrors and formal gardens.
The Palace of Versailles began as a hunting lodge of Louis XIII, and Louis XIV turned it into the seat of royal power, moving the court here in 1682. Its centrepiece is the Hall of Mirrors, seventy-three metres long, with seventeen mirrored arches facing the garden windows, where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in June 1919. The royal apartments, the Opera and the Chapel complete the palace.
Top-ranked sights in Versailles: Versailles Gardens (Jardins de Versailles), Hall of Mirrors (Galerie des Glaces), Grand Trianon.
