Embark on a half-day excursion to the Palace of Versailles - the former home to 3,000 princes, ministers, and servants. Your guided tour will take you through the palace's Grand Chambers, the Hall of Mirrors (where the Treaty of Versailles, ending World War I, was signed in 1919). You'll marvel at the luminous decor in marble, chased bronze, and gold leaf, as well as Rococo woodwork and Italian-style painted ceilings. As you explore, you'll discover how much the palace has been expanded and embellished since Louis XIII first built a modest hunting lodge at Versailles in 1623. You'll also enjoy time to visit the expansive French gardens at your leisure.

Please Note: Due to limited space, this optional tour must be reserved at least 30 days prior to departure and cannot be booked on-site. Versailles is not wheelchair accessible and this tour features sustained walking and standing. Versailles is among the most-visited sites in France: To ensure that all guests are able to view the exhibits, the time you can spend in each room is limited by palace staff. Expect lines at the entrance in peak season, even for groups with reservations.
