Marvel at the lavish palace and gardens as you wander around Versailles, France. During the guided tour, you'll have the opportunity to explore not only the exceptional architecture of the UNESCO World Heritage Site but its unique history as well and walk around its scenic surroundings. Built as a hunting pavilion for Louis XIII, the site was later expanded by his son and became a royal residence which has opened its doors as the Museum of the History of France in 1837.
Did you know, that the Palace of Versailles actually consists of over two thousand rooms? Lying adjacent to the splendid mansion, the Garden of Versailles is equally impressive! It features numerous statues, fountains, a canal, and an orangery which took four decades to complete.
While in the palace, bear in mind that photography is not permitted in the areas of temporary exhibitions, however, feel free to take pictures in the permanent exhibition.
