Amazing! This is a great experience. If you get the chance do visit. There is a free audio tour which you can download as an app. The rooms and the content are fabulous. Yes, it’s very popular. There are timed tickets for the Palace itself which are very good value. The grounds do require a lot of walking but you can hire a buggy. The fountains are beautiful and if you can do walk down to the boating lake. A good number of cafes and restaurants at the bottom of the gardens. We returned in the evening to see the water fountains display and fireworks. Over 3 hours of entertainment. My advice is to download the free map so you can see all the displays. You can bring a picnic for the evening.

Beautiful and large palace outside of Paris. It’s quite difficult to get to without a car. Inside the palace were plenty of rooms where you can walk around to learn about history and embrace the beauty of the walls, ceilings, statues and chandeliers. It took about half a day to see the entire place, but definitely worth a visit.

The palace was super cool but there were so many people. As we walked around we noticed that there were huge crowds in all of the bedrooms and the crowd was less cramped in every other part of the palace. This was a cool experience but probably not something to go back to multiple times again. All of the rooms were pretty similar after a while and almost seemed like an art museum so keep that in mind if you’re not super into old art and furniture. Overall good experience.

It is one of the tourist destinations with the best history. It is a very large place. 5-6 hours were spent touring both the palace and the gardens. The palace boasts very nice decorations and interiors both outside and inside, and the historical information provided with the audio guide was also very nice. The garden offers an electric vehicle service that can be used within the garden. Since the garden is quite large, renting an electric car is a good option if you do not want to experience the inconvenience of walking. And on weekends you can see a fountain show. I highly recommend that anyone visiting this place use an audio guide. You can hear stories about some very cool history. It is also recommended to reserve tickets in advance the day before your visit. If you visit without reserving tickets, you will have to wait for a very long time, and if you are unlucky, you may not be able to see the inside of the palace. It's such a cool place. I would like to visit again next time.

It’s a major pain to buy tickets in person and wait in the entry line. Both lines are incredibly long and take hours, even in old, windy, rainy weather in late October…and while normally I’d NEVER wait in a line that long for anything, this was worth it. It’s also a madhouse, super crowded and will peeve you, but my god I’ve never seen anything like this palace. It’s insane. Epic, grand, ornate, doesn’t do it justice. Feels like a wonder of the world. It’s worth a day trip if you want to explore the gardens. I walked over 5mi and didn’t even make a dent in the gardens, so I’d plan to arrive early and bring good walking shoes. Also an umbrella! Whether raining like it was on me or sunny, the line is so long you’ll want to have something with you to protect against the elements. The palace is so intricate and luxurious it’s hard to wrap your mind around and it certainly makes you understand why the French had a revolution. It’s astonishing and will leave you speechless, angry, and amazed. A very memorable sight to see and a highlight of the trip.

France has the most beautiful sights. The architecture of these building to have maintained for these c nitrites is unbelievable. The French have truly preserved their buildings. Although dusty and slimy from the elements, the structure is intact. Inside the decor is absolutely amazing, with all the details King Louis asked for down to the smallest details. He asked for and received the best of the best for him and his family. They lived the luxurious life with everything available to them. There are rooms designed for each person, event and all in between. The walls, the fabric, the designs, the entire Palace is well maintained and well kept from the original years. Gold for days is seen throughout this Palace.

All time favorite tourist attraction while visiting Paris. Highly recommend giving yourself a few hours to visit. You still may not have enough time to see everything. The palace is stunning. Marie Antoinette was living in opulence. The palace is massive, but the gardens go on for miles. PRO TIP- Rent the golf cart to visit the gardens. Better yet, rent a bike. The golf carts can only stay on their assigned path. If you venture off path, the golf cart will turn off. *Marie Antoinette’s cottage house is not open. You can only view the outside.

This is a must do if you are staying in or around Paris! We took the train into town and walked about 5-10 minutes to the gates. Buy your tickets ahead of time and earlier in the day if you can. We got wonderful pictures and beat the heat of the sun in the gardens. We had passport tickets which allowed us to go pretty much everywhere.

We didn’t manage to get into the Palace due to lack of tickets. We were only able to walk through the gardens. The gardens are nice, but expected more. They are not that well maintained (grass and plants is not well watered in some parts). Still nice to visit if you have half (or an entire) day in Paris.

First went 25 years ago, back again now. What an amazing place. The history and the grandeur. A once in a lifetime visit. Make sure and book your tickets ahead of time and splurge on a guide if you want to get the most out of your visit. I noticed golf carts for rent to tour the gardens. We didn't get in due to time but I would plan for that and go see thengrounds and all the hidden gems amongst the gardens.

Absolutely stunning. Wish I had more time to walk around this place, and maybe a guided tour would have been a good idea as well. Definitely buy tickets in advance as even having already bought tickets we had to wait over an hour and a half. Again be prepared very long waits on weekends and holidays, but I expect it wouldn’t be this bad usually.

Visiting the grounds of Versailles was a dream come true. I ordered my ticket a week ahead of my planned visit and went on a Friday. I recommend going as early as possible. I noticed it got very busy around mid morning and fortunately I was able to take pictures of the courtyard without too many people bombing pics. The palace is huge with so many rooms and so much history to take in. I managed to book a guided tour of the kings private rooms but again I highly recommend purchasing tickets days in advance. Also, get ready for miles of walking. Wear comfortable shoes and please be mindful that everyone is taking photos so please remember public etiquette.

The place is superb. The castle is very big and the garden is huge. Recommended for a family tour or couple tour. We went in there for our couple tour. It was raining and we did not finish the garden tour. The experience was great. Recommended for those people who loves history.

Legendary place, you need at least 4-5 hours to spend instead it. The palace itself is breathtaking but better to go around it with a guide to tell the details about everything. The gardens are amazing. Better to rent a golf cart to go around it. Be aware that you rent it at the beginning of the garden there is usually waiting time and you need a driving license. If you want to go for a boat ride then you definitely need more time

Stunning palace of the Sun King. Practicalities: If using Google, remember there is the town of Versailles and there is the Palace of Versailles. To actually get to the palace from the town, you will have to Uber or taxi from the train station. The palace gets crowded--and I mean, shoulder to shoulder, barely able to breathe crowded. NOT for those who get claustrophobic in such situations. Getting your tickets for very early can help this, as can trying to see the more popular areas (Hall of Mirrors, etc) as early or late as possible. The gardens have stony paths. Recommend not wearing thin shoes. Plan a bare minimum of 3 hours for your visit. Fun stuff: It really is one of the most beautiful sites you will ever see. Stunning artwork and architecture and treasures at every turn. The gardens are an absolute delight.

An absolutely stunning place to visit. Despite visiting in September during the week, I found the interior tour to be incredibly overcrowded. You could spend hours inside, however I found outside of the palace to be the best. Rent a bike or golf cart, and if it’s a nice day look the spend the majority of your time here exploring the beautiful grounds.

You must visit while in Paris. Just off to the West of Paris but worth the drive. Get there ahead of your ticket time as there is a queue even though you have a timed entrance. Parking is easy and right next to the entrance. Advise the audio and an am entry time if you can as we missed the gardens with a 4pm entry time not leaving us the time to visit the gardens as access is at the end on your way out. It was too dark at the time of year we visited by the time we had walked through all the rooms of this magnificent palace. Leave plenty of time for pictures in the main courtyard.

Just breathtaking in everything, the most magnificent art of that era that I've seen. It's a must visit palace, and I highly recommend booking in advance as the wait times could be unbelievable and expect lots of crowds so it's not easy to take photos.

The garden its huge so it could take you 3 hours to fully see everything. I would plan a better weather day to go (raining), so you could enjoy the boat ride, the palace itself, we could not make it ut was fully booked and no places were left

I would reccomending booking your tickets in advance and go early on in the day to beat the crowds, it's definitely worth it. The Palace and grounds are extensive and you can easily spend the whole day there. We caught the train here from Paris and it was easily one of the highlights of our visit to France, a definite must-visit! Absolutely stunning and lots to see whilst you are there. The ticket also allows access to other buildings in the grounds, which are not to be missed.

You will love it if you love history! I literally saw my History textbooks come to life. The hall of mirrors is iconic The place is beautiful and definitely recommend a tour of the gardens and the estate of Trianon. Try taking the guided tour headset. The entry is free for students which is something I love about the city and its monuments. It goes an extra miles to give the best student discounts and allows for curious students like myself to learn more.

Beautiful palace, but it gets very crowded, making it difficult to walk inside. It's hard to take nice pictures with so many people. It's totally worth it to get the garden pass; we probably spent most of our time in the garden, which is beautiful and not that busy. It's a long walk, so I recommend bringing a lot of water and wearing comfortable shoes.

Hall of Mirrors is the most elegant & glamorous room in the Palace of Versailles. The sight this hall creates when sunlight peeps through windows & lighten up the hall with intricate pieces of arts & mirrors is just magical. The ceilings are also covered with intricate arts.

The Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles is the highlight of every visit. The area in the center of the castle, originally laid out as a terrace, was closed around 300 years ago and has over 350 individual mirrors. These imitate the old exterior facade with 17 large windows. At the time, it symbolized the king's wealth and the progress of the French people. This place is considered to be the most historic place in Europe.

Hall of Mirrors is the most famous and beautiful room of Versailles palace. It runs along the palace main wing on the first floor overlooking the gardens. It is lavishly decorated in mirrors (as the name says), gilded statues and marvelous chandeliers. Beside its beauty the room is known as the place where the peace treaty was signed ending the WWI. We've been lucky being there on a cloudy Jan day just before the closing time with very few people, having it almost to ourselves (see the pics)

The Hall of Mirrors is the jewel in the crown of the Palace of Versailles. It was meant to make a strong statement about the god-given power of the King, Louis XIV, who was responsible for the building of the Palace. The Hall of Mirrors is also famous for being the site where several important historical events have taken place, one of them being the Proclamation of the German Empire in 1871, after the German states had defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War, and another the signing of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I, in 1919

While many will complain about the extravagance of wealth and royalty, it’s good to keep in mind all who were employed in the building of palaces like this. Now all can enjoy the stunning art and architecture of this royal residence museum. Seeing the gardens is every bit as satisfying as touring the chateau. Rent a golf cart and plan for lots of time.

The Hall of Mirrors is the nec plus ultra of the French architecture and art design, it's the most famous room of the Versailles palace and the Hall inspired many kings in all Europa to build there own palaces!

We have to come here first when they first open for the pictures without anybody because it got crowded so quick.

Seeing the gardens is every bit as satisfying as touring the chateau. Rent a golf cart and plan for lots of time.

This was one of my favorite stops on the bike tour we took of Versailles. Marie Antoinette's little play village. It reminds me a lot of Disney. A pretend-land.

(Translated by Google) Very few people know that a cave is here, which brings few people. Place very charged in emotions, knowing the history which goes with it. You find it hard to imagine that Marie-Antoinette and some of her companions could have entered here, but when you are alone near one of the two entrances, you have a spiritual feeling of being surrounded. (Original) Très peu de monde sait qu'une grotte se trouve ici, ce qui amène peu de personnes. Lieu très chargé en émotions, connaissant l'histoire qui va avec. On ressent une difficulté à s'imaginer que Marie-Antoinette et quelques uns de ses compères ont pu pénétrer ici, mais quand on est seul auprès d'une des deux entrées, on a un sentiment spirituel d'être entouré.

This is not a hoax and it does exist (see my photos). Most likely it is a constructed cave and the museum has one light in there so you can see what it looks like. It is hard find but you can do it using Google Maps. You will see some primitive paths where GPS has taken others to find it. There is a more formal trail built by the museum but it is hard to find the entrance for it. After all of that, there really isn't much to see. The most interesting thing to me is that Marie A. was interested in grotto's at all.

better take some bicycle or rented car available in the palace to go yo this grotto..after walking in gardens till the end you wont have patience or interest to visit this grotto or maries estate

It is a part of Versailles visit. Nice place.

Very interesting place off the beaten path.

(Translated by Google) Maria Antone's house looks like a simple life. When you first enter, you feel that everything is gone. Why is it so different from the one in the Palace of Versailles? Instead, there are several farmhouses, farmland, and animals outdoors, allowing visitors to get to know the more unpretentious Maria Antoni. (Original) 瑪麗亞安東奈的房子看起來生活質樸，一開始進去覺得東西都沒有了，為什麼跟凡爾賽宮的成列如此不同？反而戶外有幾棟農舍與農地、動物，可供遊客了解更質樸無華的瑪麗亞安東奈。

(Translated by Google) Below the artificial hill "Montagne de l'escargot" (because of its labyrinth) a small valley leads to the cave. The entrance is intentionally difficult to see to create an element of surprise. The place is deliberately dark, so that the eyes need a certain amount of time to discover everything: a small stream, stones covered with moss and finally the cave itself. It allowed the queen to escape unwanted visitors, it is said. Upon closer inspection, it is crystal clear what purpose the cave served: it can be closed with a grille, and the roar of the waterfall drowns out any noise. You can also see people approaching through a small opening. The grotto itself was covered in green-tinted plush, giving the illusion of a carpet of moss, and featured trompe l'oeil decoration. (Original) Unterhalb des künstlichen Hügels "Montagne de l'escargot" (wegen seines Labyrinths) führt ein kleines Tal zur Höhle. Der Eingang ist absichtlich schwer zu erkennen, um für Überraschungsmomente zu sorgen. Die Stelle ist bewusst dunkel, so dass die Augen eine gewisse Zeit brauchen, um alles zu entdecken: ein kleiner Bach, mit Moos bedeckte Steine und zuletzt die Höhle selbst. Sie ermöglichte es der Königin, unerwünschten Besuchern zu entkommen, heißt es. Dabei ist bei genauer Betrachtung glasklar, welchem Zweck die Höhle diente: Sie ist mit einem Gitter verschließbar, und das Rauschen des Wasserfalls übertönt eventuelle Geräusche. Zudem kann man durch eine kleine Öffnung sich nähernde Personen sehen. Die Grotte selbst war mit grün getöntem Plüsch bedeckt, was die Illusion eines Moosteppichs vermittelte, und mit einer Trompe-l'oeil-Dekoration ausgestattet.

One star, not because it's not a nice garden, but because they started to charge for the garden which used to be free, at least during peak season. They justify it with the 'musical shows' that are in the gardens during peak season. It's basically just loudspeakers playing way too loud classical music, that is often more disturbing than nice. Charging several thousands of visitors per day, approx. 12€/person, they should be able to afford a full orchestra in the garden instead of some loud speakers that repeat the same tune every few minutes. If you want to make money off the gardens in the peak season then just do it, but dont claim that visitors are paying 12€ only for this loud music to play.

Highly impressed by the grandiosity of the massive 2000 acres gardens. Amazingly manicured lawns fountains and sculptures populate the entire area where Baroque music is spread by hidden speakers. Worth visiting. It has an entry fee

A visit to Versailles is incomplete without experiencing the serene beauty and grandeur of its gardens. The gardens of Versailles are a timeless testament to the grandeur of French landscape design. Walking through the vibrant flowerbeds, and elegant fountains feels like stepping into a living painting.

The gardens are beautiful you can easily stay here all day. The fountain shows and the music as a background make the garden a really nice experience.

Best experience in Paris so far. Gardens very well maintained. Unique Royal French style. Musical gardens are an absolute amazing experience. You feel like you're back in the baroque times wearing those nice wigs. Accessible paths for strollers and pushcars (lift or ramps), something rare to see in Paris. Good options for a lunch break. Fountains are specially beautiful. Had a very nice time there.

This must be the largest garden I have ever been to. The amount of maintained land that is available for the public to admire, is truly astonishing. It’s very clean and each fountain is unique. I only saw they have golf cart rentals towards the end of my visit so if you wish to enjoy more leisurely, definitely rent the carts first so you don’t feel tired. I do wish they have more seating options throughout the garden as most people are walking for hours, admiring the sculptures and fountains. They also have boat rentals that you have to row.

A glorious garden to explore. It is so extensive that one could spend an entire day traversing the labyrinth of paths and visiting the water ponds. They're lots of good places to get something to eat here to keep you going.

We took a four day trip and still weren’t able to see it all. However you can rent a golf cart for EUR 40 per hour if you don’t feel like walking. But it isn’t half as fun as exploring on foot. Look out for hidden fountains and gazebos that’ll take your breath away with their size despite having to search them out.

Loved it!!! Walking through the doors of Versailles Palace and Versailles gardens was an extraordinary experience for me. If you visit Paris, please reserve a day for this objective. You can go to Versailles very easily by train. Make reservations online and do not be scared about the big queues (it moves quite rapidly).

Incredible gardens best experienced in spring and summer. Often not super crowded. Somehow there was fresh squeezed orange juice being made in a random junction between paths near the water features. Just an overall wondrous other-worldly experience. Quite a place.

Totally worth the visit! It took around 4hrs to go on the main spots of the garden; if you have the time, take more hours to contemplate the fountains and landscapes, prepare a towel to carry with you so you can sit properly and do not get your cloths dirty. Its also good if you can rent a golf car that is offered, so you can save lots of time and can have fun while driving it

I love history and was lucky enough to have Marta from city wonder tours to guide us. She was super knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. Her English and Spanish were both very good and she was very positive. This tour was longer then I expected at nearly 4 hours but there Isa nice Cafe and shop. The palace of course Isa wonder but the gardens are worth seeing too! It's very warm. Very.

You can enter the garden for free. There is no need to book tickets for that. The garden is astounding, big and very well structured.

I’d almost rather spend time in the gardens than in the main palace. Skip the golf cart, take a leisurely stroll, watch the water fountain show set to music. The palace can be very chaotic, cramped, packed with people, and the stairs still smell like pee.

Very beautiful garden with spectacular view all around particularly with masterful geometry, which really impressed us. One can take Gardens Golf Cart Tour, however, must get off the cart to explore the areas you want to see. One can enjoy the great view of the Palace of Versailles from the garden. There are some really impressive fountains (follow the timing for the play of water jets to music). We visited this place twice (April and October). The place is crowded. We spent a very memorable time and the visit was priceless.

This place was beautiful! I can't imagine what it takes to keep it looking so beautiful! It's so big! The golf cart rental wasn't really worth it because of the strict restrictions and the price. They also have extremely low governors to the point you could walk faster. You have to get off the cart and walk into the areas you want to see. Being the cart goes so slow, if you took that time to walk and see things you end up paying a lot more for the car rental. Anyway, I would definitely recommend checking out the gardens if you get the chance.

So it's definitely an impressive park, but it's also just a bit disappointing. The view of the palace from the outside is very impressive, and very much worth the money, the view across the Gardens is also very nice, but going around all the individual fountains becomes repetitive very quickly. Many of the fountains are not active, quite a few of the gardens are sadly not very well kept. The statues are impressive individually for sure, but they all are and with the mass of them, they start to look the same quite quickly. You can spend about 3-4 hours in the garden if you take quite a few pictures and stop here and there. Recommend to take the route in the guide they provide. It takes you along the most important points in these vast gardens. The entry fee is moderate but okay. It wasn't too crowded when I visited, the masses spread out quite well. It's definitely worth a visit but just don't expect a ground breaking park. It's mainly just big, impressive and culturally important.

It's a beautiful place to visit, even if you don't have time to visit the palace or if you already did. You have to be prepared to walk if you haven't got a golf car, and you should make decisions on which parts of the gardens you want to see since they are really big. Most definitely, the gardens will reward you for your tiredness, and you will get the feeling that you are in another time.

Wonderful Park !

My favorite place to relax 🤩😍

really nice place to walk, to rest... but so crowded thats why the 4*

Exceptional. The opulence of the area is quintessentially French.

Excellent place for a picnic

Vv

(Translated by Google) The tour of the grand canal is approximately 7 km. It takes more or less two hours to go around it. This walk in the open air is very easy and without difficulty. The atmosphere is family and everyone can do their activity either walking, running, cycling or whatever they wish. It is a relaxing place far from the Versailles traffic for a change of scenery. (Original) Le tour du grand canal fait 7 kms environ. Il faut compter plus ou moins deux heures pour en faire le tour. Cette balade au grand air se fait très facilement et sans difficulté. L'ambiance est familiale et chacun peut faire son activité soit marcher, courir, du vélo ou selon l'envi de chacun. C'est un endroit reposant loin de la circulation versaillaise pour un changement d'air.

Tickets are a misery. Buy ticket online or don't go! This clowns are not able to put this message on their website. Went there around 9am when it opens, paid parking for 4 hours on the street, just to find out earliest entry was 3pm, which you could buy online too. Why having local ticket sales at all? And they advise to check the gardens, thanks but no thanks, I go to a free park then. Never let french organize anything, they are terrible 👎

It was under refurbishment when we were there so we didn't get to go in. It was covered with a printed tarp on the outside. We were able to have a quick look of the interior once we had entered the palace. The painted ceiling looked amazing but the chapel was mostly dark so we weren't able to fully appreciate it.

The royal palace chapel is an outstanding example of French baroque architecture. It is the last of the five chapels of the Versailles Palace and the last major building project by King Louis XIV. It was completed in 1710 and is now mainly used as a concert hall.

We bought tickets for 5:00pm and were doing the audio guide tour. At 5:45 the staff of the museum started to hurry up people to leave, because they close at 6pm. The audio guide tour lasted 1.5 hours so it was ridiculous that they sell entrances so late! There was a group that even entered at 5:30pm! Very poorly thought out

Royal chapel with magnificent vaulted ceilings. Evolved with the palace. Fifth chapel of the palace, important for royal events like marriages etc. Integral part if the Royal life.

Unfortunately, the Royal Chapel was closed off during our tour, but they still allowed a glimpse inside. This gothic chapel was built in the last years of Louis XIVth reign, and it's history is quite interesting. The king's first architect died before he could complete it, and his son-in-law took over and finished the chapel. Some other rooms were also finished by him.

Beatifull place, but as usual too crouded

It is off limits to normal visitors and can only be visited as part of a guided tour. Normal visitors can only view it through a small door in one of the rooms on the upper floor. As expected, the entrance gets pretty crowded but it is worthwhile to wait for your turn and take a few photos. Unfortunately only the upper floor and the ceiling of the chapel can be viewed from here.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent, great, spectacular (Original) Magnífico, grandioso, espectacular

A place fit for Marie Antoinette. The view is just superb from inside the temple sitting on an island, surrounded by the English river. It must have been quite eye-catching back in the day. It still is preserved very well.

Beautiful and peaceful temple next to Petit Trianon. Don’t forget to give your love a kiss here, it will be a moment to remember.

The Love Shack - from the 16th century.

Lovely building within the Trianon gardens. Very romantic.

Beautiful and Peaceful! Highly recommend this visit!

This is a gorgeous place that is very romantic to find when walking aroudn with your wife. I love the architecture of his structure.

Nice place to visit. Peaceful and tranquil.

A must see at the interior of Le Petit Trianon gardens, a statue symbol of love beneath a cupola, do not forget to take a portrait of you and your loved one with the statue in the background

A gorgeous location surrounded by beautiful gardens. Come here if you're already visiting the chateau of Versailles. A good spot to sit and rest with so much walking.

Magnificent! What a wonderful building, you can feel the history of the grand building mingling with the feeling of awe as the excitement builds. Wonderful night spent watching the ballet, it's lovely to see so many people dressing up for the occasion. Highly recommend

Magnificent opera with greatest decoration and so elegant.

Superb venue. It is always a pleasure to hear opera in this historic setting.

Amazing performance but the building in itself is already worth visiting. It always feels like a mini holiday coming here

Nice small opera house. Pure 18th century jewel.

Not sure if the Opera de Versailles is free to visit on Sundays or free everyday, and even if it isn't, the Opera House is definitely worth a visit. Unlike the Paris Opera, you can visit the entire ring(colossus?) and walk in front of the stage. Or you can just sit in the Opera, with the staff's commentary, you can feel the chambers of the king of French and nobles. You can take your kids to listen to the popular science of the staff. But remember to keep quiet when passing by the actor's rehearsal room🤫

Amazingly picturesque place. I could have spent hours in there, and having just found out that shows are run at the Opera House in Versailles, it makes me want to plan a trip around watching something in that beautiful hall. Absolutely breathtaking.

This is the eighteenth-century opera house in the north wing of the château, past the Chapel Royal. A true 'jewel-box' theatre, this is as beautiful a venue as you would expect here. Château de Versailles Spectacles runs an excellent programme here, including concerts and staged operas - see the website for more details!

One of the most beautiful Opera in the world. The Opera is very different from others because it was built for the King Louis XIV and his closest friends : there is only 600 places and should be compared to Palais Garnier (1979) or Bastille (2745).

It is a spacious hallway which depicts the battles in French history by artistic drawings that are hung on the wall. The outside passage consists of sculptures which are related to French history. It is yet another section not to be missed at the Versailles Palace.

This trip to Versailles was booked through a tour bus called Paris City Vision. They offer daily half-day trips for about 54 USD per person which includes your transportation and entrance ticket. Initially we did not think a half day would be sufficient but due to most of the gardens being closed for winter we found it was a reasonable amount of time. Versailles is very large with several corridors that focus on different areas of the history of the property. Upon entering and going through security you can receive an automated tour device that can tell you more about the exhibits you’re looking at by entering in the number displayed and listening on it like a cell phone. You can also bring headphones to attach to this, which we weren’t aware of, that would have made things easier to listen hands-free. Much like our experience at the Louvre we noticed that many people just wanted to go in and see the main areas to photograph so it seemed much less crowded and often times we found ourselves to be the only ones in a hallway or room. Obviously the most popular place here inside is the hall of mirrors so we suggest going there and waiting for it to clear out a bit if you want a good picture. Since many tour groups go through here you’ll find there are waves of people going through so if you’re patient you can get a shot with not as many people in it. This particular gallery was very interesting and honestly quite empty when we went. The paintings are enormous and span the entire wall which makes you feel like an ant next to these huge paintings. It was very interesting to see a hall that was dedicated to these victories and understand all that took place behind the scenes. Overall, we found this to be enjoyable given the circumstances but definitely want to come back in the summer to take full advantage of the gardens! - @wanderingwithustwo

Amazing gallery with huge portraits that seems to commemorate certain events. The area was very spacious and the lighting was just right for looking at the paintings. There were a few seats but it was mostly standing room. It wasn't as busy as the main palace area. We just happened upon the room while following the way out.

Th is is a really cool art gallery that shows some of the history of the famous French battles. We notice it the first time we visit Versailles in 2012, but this was an awesome and a must see gallery!!

One of the most impressive things about this room is not just the gigantic size of the paintings, but that they all have almost the same height, making it appear well-fitted on the walls. It was designed by Louise-Philippe and depicts 15 centuries of battles from the entire French history. So much history.

The best gallery that i have ever been in my life. Trough this huge room the France histary is narrated by huge paints from 500 B.C. until the 1800 B.C. It is more large than the mirror gallery and according to me it is more beatifull and well made!

Amazing galleries of battles! If each picture had a description of how the battle went, that would be perfect! Beautiful :)

If you are into the history and commemoration of battles this is the place for you. The hall is filled mostly with French military history buffs who are interested in Frances many revolutions.

Located on the palace grounds of Versailles, this edifice building featuring some beautiful red marbles arches was the actual palace/abode for Napoleon during his reign. This place is currently displaying the works of Coypel as well as the regalia of that Napoleon era. Anywhere in the world, this place would be an amazing architectural and artistic wonder but this is on the grounds of the Versailles, and competing with that marvel is difficult at best.

The Versailles Palace is a breathtaking marvel that truly deserves every bit of its five-star rating. Stepping into its opulent halls and lush gardens feels like entering a world where royalty once reigned in unparalleled grandeur. The sheer magnitude of its architectural splendor leaves visitors in awe, allowing them to vividly imagine the lavish lifestyle of the kings and queens who once called it home. The intricate details of the palace, from the ornate furnishings to the meticulously landscaped gardens, showcase an unparalleled dedication to beauty and elegance. Visiting Versailles is not just a journey through history; it's an immersive experience in the epitome of regal magnificence.

I'm glad we took the time to see it but if we had run out of time I wouldn't be mad about missing it either. The building itself is fairly small so can do be done quickly but the gardens are much bigger. We decided to skip them to focus on the Petit Trianon instead and that worked for us.

Famous historical site. Beautiful and sad place where Hungary lost 2/3 of the country on the 4th June 1920.

The Palace of Versailles is well-known and well visited but make sure to leave time for this treasure. More intimately sized, provides fascinating insight into the life of the royals. Photos are from a First Empire costume ball they held there commemorating the 200th anniversary of the death of Napoleon.

We have spent here around 2 hours. Just walked around the gardens, stayed on the stairs watching the flowers, the clouds. It is a nice castle, you don`t see the grandeur as it is at Versailles, it is a bit different, but nice nevertheless.

Beautiful casa! Fascinating architecture with incredible details throughout entire property. We used headphones to do the self guided tour and it took a little over an hour but could easily spend more time there.

One of the best places i have been here so far, the gardens were absolutely beautiful!

Loved loved loved the grounds. Rented a bike and took a picnic out around time the far end of the water. Absolutely lovely. The main building was so packed though that we could barely get through. It took about 45 minutes just to walk upstairs to the mirror room because there were so many huge tour groups clogging up every doorway. Absolutely miserable experience inside.

The former hunting retreat of Louis XIV that was later improved by Louis XV and XVI, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Louis-Philipe to nowadays superb villa. The rooms are wonderfully furnished. We were captivated by the furniture and other decorative pieces crafted in Louis and Imperial Styles.

This is a visit you should come if you like silk fabric. They have a whole exposition of this.

It's really cool palace for the queen. But for me a bit lack of information especially for the queen it's self. I just see one photo of her in petit Trianon. But still many things to see around the palace. For the ticket €12 include visiting the petit Trianon

Absolutely great experience! I recommend everyone to make an extra effort and visit the Petit Trianon and the gardens around it.

It is a well thought out attraction. I loved the way the rooms were set up and the information was available in multiple languages. I actually preferred its organization to that of the Versailles palace. It was easy to imagine what life was like 250 years ago. We bought tickets from the tourism kiosk just outside of the Versailles rive gauche station. The staff were very nice and gave helpful information and instructions for planning our day.

Very very nice attraction to visit. But there is a lot of walking to be done. Minimally 30000 steps if you wanna explore the whole place... not suitable for wheel chair I will say...

If you're a student, it's free! Otherwise, unless you love creative fabrics and interior design, this isn't worth the 12 Euros to enter. The first half of the museum is rooms and furniture displays during the time period and under who's rule. The second half of the museum is fabric designs, very elaborate looking. The time to go through the musuem is 1 hour without reading anything, maybe two if you read most things.

Love the market, great, fresh produce. But walk around, as there are really large price gaps between stands, for similar products. So whenever you come to Versailles, visit the market, but try to be early

Outstanding market with delicious food!! My favorites are the cheese and fruit. We went twice during our week in Paris. The street vendors will vary depending on the day of the week. Once when we went it was more food. Another day it was clothing.

Quite an expensive food market....many good restaurants nearby...If you live in Versailles, I recommend you to go once.

Oh my goodness! This market is a dream for anyone. Whether you are a tourist, a chef, or anyone just passing by, the market is crazy to visit. They have many shops selling meats, cheeses, vegetables, desserts, and fish. The indoor stalls are arranged around a ring of buildings, so it's easy to walk around. I, especially, thought the dessert shop was mouthwatering. It's a shame I didn't get a chance to try the desserts. Next time...

Market is busy and it sells a variety of fresh and cooked foods. There are also vendors that sell non-consumable products like cooking pans and hand bags.

Amazing market! I wish we had this in the States!!!

Had fresh yummy crepes here in the inside shops. Fresh ingredients from other stores, like smoked salmon.... Stall owner does not speak English but has English menu for ordering. Friendly and recommended to try it.

Wonderful market with lots to see and eat! We came here several times during our short stay to to try new things. There are many restaurants and a few bakeries surrounding the market, too.

Hey if you are near Versailles this is the place to go for food and an authentic French market experience. I would give it 5 stars, but they don't have bathrooms. If you need to go to the bathroom, you'll need to go inside a restaurant. As you may know, it's disrespectful to use a restarsunt's bathroom without buying something. Your best bet is the Burger King, but please don't eat a whole meal there. You don't come all the way to France to eat at Burger King! Instead try something from one of the many delis or other shops in the market.

Second largest market in France but the best in my opinion. Plenty of delicious fruit, veg, cheeses, cooked and raw meats. Increasing provision of organic foods. Come first thing of a Sunday morning for the best effect!

We love the markets in France. A place to go and get fresh foods on a daily basis. Each day we would walk down to pick up that nights meal and the following morning breakfast. Thee Notre-Dame Market is larger and a bit more commercial than the smaller markets in the small towns, but the essence of the place is the same and the selections of foods is incredible.

If you are at Palace of Versailles, please do not miss this market which if I'm not wrong, opens on Sunday only. The food is yum n different nationalities sell their products. You will find vegetables, fruits, variety of cheese, meat, handicrafts, music, African, turkish n other nationalities cooked food and all this for local street affordable prices. Anybody would enjoy as I enjoyed by mushroom n special cheese stuffed naan.

This is located opposite the palace and you can actually enter for free. It’s a very small but informative gallery of old and newer coaches that’s worth visiting.

I liked the fact that this gallery is located in a different building than the palace itself. That means that it doesn't attract many visitors, just the ones that are really interested in this exhibition. I also liked the fact that for every coach there was info on the occassion and the date it was used. If you beleive this review has been helpful for you, please don’t forget to press the 👍 button. Thank you.

Very small exposition but nonetheless interesting to quickly see

Highly recommended!! It takes around 10 minutes to complete the tour with multiple coaches on display! The tour is very well organised and very well detailed! All the information is pinned next to the coaches; no need for a guide, you can just walk around, read and enjoy

Open only on weekends. So worth it. The coaches are absolutely incredible to witness. Gorgeous pieces of history.

We stumbled upon this museum after seeing the line outside Versailles....crazy long! This is a treat to see. If you have children, this is a great place to introduce them to art of engineering and skills of artistry. These coaches are elegant and real eye pleasers. It's free to get in, quick to get through and filled with wonder.

Really cool place to visit before or after going to the palace

Impressionnant de voir ces carrosses très bien restaurés et avec les faux chevaux, on se rend compte de la longueur de l'attelage (aussi long qu qu'un camion) (Translated by Google) Impressive to see these carriages very well restored and with the false horses, we realize the length of the hitch (as long as a truck)

If you are visiting paris and versailles palace precisely you must not miss on paasing by the gallery of coaches it’s a very fun experience looking at the huge carriages wwith their detailed decorations and stories download the guide to the palace from the app provided on the website and you will find a chapter explaining all about the gallery, because it’s a bit far from the palace you’re not gonna be allowed with the audio guide provided from the palace there because you technically are going to go out from the palace.

Cool place, especially if you are a big fan of history of transports. An amazing place where to come to see the most iconic and beautiful French coaches (where the coaches born apparently) and where there is the beautiful Napoleon coache. Have a look, you can buy it togheter with the Versailles ticket for a few euro extra. On my opinion, a curious visit to do

Gorgeous place, with a lot of history in it ❤️ if you are coming to Versailles, don’t miss it. Minimum to take a look around is 7-10 minutes - but of course,if you enjoy it, you can stay more 🥰

Interesting and for free! The stables and carriages of the Kings are very impressive. They have sledges and baby carriages, too. Also a funeral carrige is on display. A carriage with eight horses shows ow impressive and big the carriages were. Most of the cars were produced for the wedding of Napoleon. They really travelled in style. When you look to the luxurious interior of the carriges. Really great that no entrance is charged. #parisforfree

This is a free gallery that I believe is open only in the weekend. It's great! I've never seen such beautiful coaches before. Definitely worth a visit after the palace.

Quick, free, and a must see.

Love this shopping centre! It had the perfect mix of high street and high end. Beautifully presented in a modern and chic design. The options for restaurant are lacking as it was all cafe's! Very secure with a guard checking every bag upon entrance. Would defiantly go again!

Nice and elegant shopping centre very close to the motorway and to Versailles. Loads of shops, cafes and restaurants. A smaller and much less hectic version of the Londoner Westfield. Unfortunately there is no kids area, may be an idea for the future 😉

This shopping mall is really cute and very clean. We have shopped here many times. Their staff is very helpful.😍

Fantastic place for shopping, clean, neat, most of brands such as Zara home , kiabi, BHS &Fnac Hemi - many other shops are available. I recommande it to everyone . Really I enjoyed it.

This mall offers a good selection of shops . But its kinda confusing how to access some areas its kind of divided on many levels specially the restaurants its like a sort of a maze u can get lost . U can access it by bus in front of the mall . Decoration is nice . U can find a pharmacy , a supermarket , decathlon and Truffaut , boutique du monde and fnac too …

Mostly mid- to high quality brands in an upscale environment. Toilets, décoration, and general maintenance much better than an average French shopping center. Best to go before 4 or 5 pm weekdays to avoid the crowds and find parking. (Or take a bike/bus.) The plan is a bit confusing, and they could add more information screens at each entrance or a webpage map to facilitate orientation. I recommend management to add a paid, or 15-minute parking area for busy customers.

live. big . clean. spacious. all shops are there. u can spend the day with ur family.

High end French mall. Very clean and well maintained. Parking may be a little tricky when it’s busy but they have lights to indicate if spots are open or not.

Great mall🤩 I go there all the time and it never disappoints! Definitely reccomend

Great place clean and you can find all you need. It is up there in level same or even better than La Défense

Outstanding,,,its near to my house so that I can go anytime to visit to buy something,,I love to shopping thats why I enjoyed to visit here...everything are available here I go 2 times a week.

My second visit to this commercial center reinforced my positive opinion. It offers -a calm atmosphere -diverse dining options : food court, pizzarias -acceptable parking, and the added convenience of an adjacent cinema. A preferred destination indeed!

These mall has everything you want to buy. One stop mall. Reminds me of home Galleria in Texas. I shop here a lot.

Parly 2 now Westfield Parly 2 is a very good shopping mall having many brands of garments, accessories, electronic, supermarkets etc. There are restaurants and coffe shops. There are sofas and chairs for visitors to rest for a while. The mall is very wellaid out with access from many roads. Convenience are good.

A family-friendly church. You see kids strolling around, parents with kids in strollers, while mass remains solemn.

It's a beautiful chapel that should be visited when you're visiting the city.

A cosy restaurant located right inside Parc Saint Cloud that makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the forest. It boast a huge al fresco dining area and also a small indoor dining area making it very good for large parties or events. Not easy to access unless you have a car or you can always take a walk. The food is mediocre nothing much to rave about. I ordered the ceviche, it’s french but was too heavy on the vinegar. Chicken was dry and rough although the sauce was creamy and flavourful. Overall, it’s a nice place to chill and enjoy the space with a group. Food : ⭐️⭐️ Service : ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambiance : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value for money : ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great restaurant, perfect location. Food is great, the place is cozy and the staff is the best. It has come a regular place for our family.

We organised our wedding in Orangerie with a lot supports from Brice and his personnel. The great location in the middle of the park, beautiful decoration, the foods are really great. We had 2 animations de barbecue, they are both so good. The terrasse for the cocktails and dancing bar serve well. Really recommended

Calm and relaxing place, for brunches and lunches. An alternative to picnicking in the parc or to complete your promenade with a nice and refreshing drink or coffee. The surroundings are wonderful, the terrace very cosy if the weather allows. Service is variable, from typical “Parisian”, to professional and kind. Strongly recommended if you are visiting Saint Cloud.

What a beautiful location! Loved the setting and the people. Food was decent too.

Perfect place fort romantic lunch , drinks , dinner - staff is very nice and professional - food is delicious

I went when it was sweltering out, and it was the perfect shady patio to enjoy a cold beer. Prices are a little high, but considering the setting (and the added bonus of being quiet and peaceful) it was worth it. Very tranquil and cozy.

We only had take outs hot drinks we did not try their food nor sat there . We tried the cappuccino , americano and double espresso they were good . Fast service and friendly staff. There was long queue to get crepes and waffles so we skipped it. Nice decoration in the seated area . Its coffeeshop located inside the domaine of saint cloud
