The Palace of Versailles

We booked a Guided Tour with the palace of Versailles. These tours are only in French and English but we took it because it is the only way to visit the private apartments of the King and have a chance to see the Opera Royal. Our wish was exhausted: we entered that magnificent Opera built in two years for the wedding of the grandson of Louis XV (the future Louis XVI) with Marie-Antoinette. To know about this place and its secrets I really recommend you this tour. After it we could visit by ourselves the rest of the palace (places everyone can see): the history museum, the State Apartments of the King, an exhibition about the furniture that is on currently. The entrance to the palace (state apartments and museum) is 15€ per person, the guided tour cost us 16€, one euro more to see much more! Moreover, the state apartments seem less interesting without a guide (we had the headsets), they are lively and answer to your questions…

Warnings!
1) When booking (on Versailles official website) be sure you print your tickets, and when arriving to the guided tour entrance go exchange them. The hostess at the entrance aren’t always aware about how it works ask if everything is ok before the tour starts.
2) It is forbidden to enter food and big umbrellas to the palace. Request where you can leave them before the tour. The guide won’t have time to wait for you.
3)There are no toilets in the apartments, go to the toilets before the tour.
