This tour combines the highly sought after Chateau de Versailles and the vast Royal Gardens, highlighted by the unique fountains, groves, and manicured shrubbery that have made them a worldwide sensation for centuries.
The gardens of Versailles have been held up as the standard of French gardening for ages, and you will see why. Stand at the grande perspective and take in the entirety of the grounds, including the Grand Canal and the 2,000 acres of forestland. Mosey through the groves with your guide leading the way and learn about why King Louis XIV designed them each in their particular way before heading into the Chateau to discover the interior at your leisure.
Exit the train station at Versailles Château Rive Gauche (several stations say “Versailles” make sure it’s this one), and walk into McDonalds. Exit out the back right door and walk through the mall past the video game stores to the corner shop full of bikes.
