Touring the Palace at Versailles is simply a must for any visitor to Paris.  Initially built as the summer residence for French royalty, Versailles’ legendary grandeur and opulence is unsurpassed. It has since been home to everyone from Marie Antoinette and King Louis XIV to France’s Dauphin and Dauphine.

Your exploration into the lives of the French royal family will give you an extraordinary view into the lives of the monarchy before they were overthrown during the French Revolution in 1789.  During your tour, you’ll get to study your reflection in the same celebrated Hall of Mirrors that Louis XVI did, while also visiting the place where the treaty that ended World War I was signed.

Your guided tour of the palace is followed by a walk through the lush gardens on the grounds of Versailles.  Breathtaking and ethereal, the famed gardens of Versailles actually served as the inspiration for many of Claude Monet’s greatest paintings.

Your Aeon Tour of Versailles was designed to give each of our guests a firsthand, truly Parisian experience.  Your Versailles tour begins with your exclusive guide meeting your group at your hotel and taking you personally to Versailles.  Your quick, 20 minute RER train ride leaves you right near the grounds of the Palace. Once there your guide will lead you on your 4 hour tour.  After your tour, you’re able to continue exploring the Palace on your own, or head back to Paris with your guide.  We recommend staying in Versailles to have dinner at one of the local restaurants.

Your Aeon Tour of Versailles lasts for 5.5 hours, and departs at your convenience.  Typically, your guide will meet you and your group in your hotel lobby the morning of your tour.
