Palace of Versailles, Paris Overview

The Palace of Versailles is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see French landmark today. It is situated in the city of Versailles, just 40 minutes away from Paris. It is now a museum that is a masterpiece of French art and design.

Constructed by Louis XIV to exhibit the supremacy of the monarchy, this Grand Palace was once the nucleus of French Monarchic power. Notably, this spot is much more than only the Palace. Other main areas to visit include - The Palace gardens and other castles, Le Grand Trianon, & The Queen’s Estate. 



The Apartment of the King and Queen, the Coronation Room, and the impressive Hall of Mirrors will make you amazed by their majesty. An excellently-preserved example of the French monarchy's luxury, the glimmering hallways will take you back to the 17th century. Besides, the exquisite gardens are praised for their geometric design. Access to the Gardens is free for all (except on days of fountains and musicals), and access to the Palace & the estate of Trianon is free for visitors below 18 yrs ( <26 yrs for EU residents).
