Our guide Vladia was the best ever! She knew everything we were curious about and stayed late to address all our questions.

Guide très sympathique et qui maîtrisait son sujet, mais la visite aurait gagné en pertinence si elle avait duré plus longtemps (2h par exemple) pour voir peut-être des pièces moins accessibles ou avoir plus d'explications, tant Versailles est un château immense où chaque souverain a laissé sa marque !

Warning if you are short on time! We had a 9:30 am - 90 mins tour. It didn’t start until 9:45, it’s a 10 mins walk to the palace and then we stood in the hall for 15 mins for a French history lesson. So the actual tour didn’t start until well after 10:15 and we had to leave at 11 am , so we missed half the tour.
