Covering nearly 2,000 acres, these meticulously manicured grounds feature geometric flowerbeds, grand fountains, sculptures, ornamental lakes, and tree-lined paths that stretch as far as the eye can see. On your tour, your expert guide will share the fascinating history behind the garden’s creation, the symbolism built into its design, and stories of how French royalty used these grounds for entertainment, politics, and leisure. You’ll also learn about the incredible engineering behind the waterworks that power the fountains, many of which are still functioning today. From sweeping views of the Grand Canal to the hidden beauty of the Groves (Bosquets), this outdoor masterpiece is just as awe-inspiring as the palace itself.

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.
