Step inside the private world of the Kings of Versailles! Experience a more intimate and exclusive side of the Palace of Versailles with a guided tour of the King’s Private Apartments.

Discover the rooms where some of the most fascinating moments in French history took place. See the room where Mozart performed a private concert for the royal family and the room where Louis XVI received Benjamin Franklin during the American War of Independence. During this 1-hour-30-minute tour, your guide will reveal the private lives of the kings, the secrets of the royal court and the refined decorative style of 18th-century Versailles.

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.
