Little train

Aboard the little train you can explore the park and its farthest corners, such as the Trianon palaces, in a Baroque musical ambiance without getting tired and sheltered from the weather. You can also learn more about the Estate’s history and locations using the little train’s audio guide.

Due to weather conditions, the little train does not operate on Tuesday the 6th of January.
