Versailles is massive and can feel a bit like a marathon if you don't have a plan. I like to keep it focused. We’ll hit the big, famous rooms you’re expecting, but I’ll also point out the small details that most people walk right past. Inside the Palace, we’ll move at your speed. I’ll tell you the stories of how the kings and queens actually lived—the weird court rules, the political drama, and how a hunting lodge became the center of the world. Then we’ll step outside. The gardens are huge, so I’ll give you an orientation to the layout so you can explore on your own afterward without getting lost. If you have kids or if you’re a history buff, let me know.
