About the Palace of Versailles

The Palace of Versailles was the accredited residence of the kings of France between 1682 and 1789, during the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI. This imposing Baroque complex symbolizes the height of French absolutism, where the monarchy concentrated political and cultural power around the court, becoming an artistic reference throughout Europe.

What to see during the visit

The guided tour allows you to discover the State Apartments and the iconic Hall of Mirrors, decorated by artists such as Charles Le Brun. The guide will share stories and anecdotes from court life, enriching the experience. After the visit, you can enjoy free time in the gardens designed by André Le Nôtre, famous for their fountains and harmonious landscaping.

“Absolute power eventually destroys itself.” — Voltaire
