Offers Tours

At the back of the estate, along the banks of the lake, you’ll find the thatched cottages of the Queen’s Hamlet, built by Richard Mique for Marie-Antoinette. After surviving an epic, eventful period, they illustrate the Queen’s love for the charm of country living. Certain houses were dedicated to farming, others reserved for the pleasures of taking promenades and holding receptions. The interiors reveal refined decor, contrasting with their rustic appearance. Come and rediscover them after their recent restoration.

The Palace of Versailles is full of true treasures that are unknown to visitors: secret passages, rooms, private apartments, bathrooms and other hidden places. In this royal residence, the symbol of absolute power and French artistic and cultural prestige, the apartments of kings, queens, mistresses and courtiers illustrate everyday life at Court and key events in France’s history.

• An exceptional visit with a tour guide from the Palace of Versailles

In direct proximity to the King’s small apartments hides a treasure: the rooms of Madame du Barry, Louis XV’s last mistress. This space, which has been recently restored, contains one of the most refined and iconic ensembles of 18^th-century art. During your visit, immerse yourself in the history and emotion imbued in this very private space, which has been returned to its former glory.

The Queen’s Inner Rooms have reopened after several years of renovation. Tucked away behind the State Apartment, these elegantly decorated rooms underwent multiple changes. Marie-Antoinette left her mark on them in the most exquisite way. The refined furniture, the paintings and art objects all reflect her personality, lifestyle and love of decoration, the arts and fashion.
NB: this visit includes numerous steps.

Step into the Versailles of Marie-Antoinette. Behind the Queen's Apartments, an unsuspected suite of little rooms of rarely seen elegance reveal the queen's personal taste and a moving testimony to her real character and search for privacy. Through doors, staircases and passageways, discover the places where she liked to seek refuge from court etiquette. This unique tour is complemented by a gourmet break.
