Description Start your day in Versailles by a guided morning visit of the Royal Apartments. This will be followed by a walk around the Palace Park, passing through some of the groves (summer) or a horse carriage ride (winter). Lunch is taken in the restaurant "La Flotille", which faces the Grand Canal. The afternoon will continue with a guided visit of the Trianons (vast mansion-style lodges where Louis XV and Louis XVI liked to work and retire from court life) and a discovery tour of Queen's hamlet, where from 1783 Marie Antoinette played as a shepherdess.
In addition to the usual program, we suggest that you wander around the groves and pools where the magnificent display of fountains revelas the skill and artistry of three centuries of French garden design and engineering. The display is accompanied by music from one of the famous composers from the court of Louis XIV.
