Step beyond Paris into the grandeur of Versailles, where the Sun King's vision unfolds across gilded halls and geometric gardens stretching to the horizon. The Palace dazzles with the 73-metre Hall of Mirrors, the opulent Royal Apartments, and the Gallery of Battles chronicling French military history. Outside, André Le Nôtre's 800-hectare gardens unfurl in a spectacle of sculpted fountains, ornamental parterres, and the sweeping Grand Canal. The afternoon continues at the Grand Trianon, a pink-marble retreat whose intimate salons and Napoleonic furnishings contrast sharply with the main palace, followed by the Petit Trianon and Queen's Hamlet — Marie Antoinette's neoclassical villa and storybook farm cottages that reveal a surprisingly personal side of royal life. The entire estate is closed on Mondays, and the Trianon palaces open only at noon, so an early start at the main palace is well worth it.
