Private excursion to the Château de Versailles

Excursion — Estate of Versailles

Private excursion to the Château de Versailles

Between the gilded splendour of the State Apartments, the perfect geometry of the formal French gardens and the quiet grace of the Grand Canal, Versailles truly belongs to those who give it time. Palatium Paris drives you there from Paris, then remains at your disposal so that every moment of the day, from departure to return, remains entirely your own.

No imposed schedule, no group to follow. Your chauffeur adapts to your rhythm — whether you wish to wander through the groves, linger at the Petit Trianon or extend the visit into the evening light.

Your day at Versailles

The experience, at your own pace

Half-day or full-day

A morning in the royal apartments, an afternoon beside the Grand Canal — or the other way around. The duration is yours; we shape the programme around your wishes, not the reverse.

With or without a guide

Some guests prefer to explore the estate freely; others enjoy the presence of an accredited guide-lecturer. According to your preferences, we can suggest specialised guides.

Skip-the-line tickets, according to your wishes

Avoiding queues may be possible depending on the season and the formula selected. We can indicate the available options when preparing your visit — without any commitment on our part regarding availability.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

How much time should be allowed to visit Versailles?

A half-day (3 to 4 hours) allows you to explore the State Apartments and part of the gardens. To linger by the Grand Canal, discover the Trianons and stroll through the groves at leisure, a full day is often more comfortable. Your chauffeur adapts to the departure and return times you prefer.

Does your chauffeur remain on site during the visit?

Yes. Your chauffeur remains available throughout your time on the estate. He collects you from the agreed location at the time you choose — or earlier, should your wishes change during the day.

Can we visit the Trianons and the Queen's Hamlet?

Absolutely. The Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet are an integral part of the estate and are well worth the detour. Share your preferences when requesting your quotation so that we can allow the appropriate timing for your programme.

Are entrance tickets included in the service?

No. The service covers round-trip transport with a dedicated chauffeur. We can indicate the ticketing options available according to the season — online tickets, skip-the-line access or passes — while the purchase remains at your initiative. Some of our clients prefer to manage their access freely; we simply adapt.

How can I obtain a quotation for an excursion to Versailles?
