Elevate your estate visit with exclusive access to the private quarters of the kings.

• Everything you get: Led by an expert guide, go beyond the ceremonial grandeur of Versailles and step into the private quarters of the kings. Hidden behind the State Apartments, these intimate “small apartments” reveal a more personal side of royal life, with refined décor and beautifully preserved spaces such as the Clock Cabinet, the recently restored Corner Cabinet, the library, and Louis XVI’s Games Room.
• Why choose this: Enjoy hearing your guide bring the Palace’s history to life before continuing to the King’s Apartments, an exclusive area that regular visitors cannot access without a guide. This special access allows for a more comfortable visit away from the main crowds. After the guided tour, you are also welcome to stay and explore the Palace and Gardens further at your own pace with a self-guided visit.
