Louis XIV's palace, with the Hall of Mirrors, the royal apartments, the Trianon estate and gardens that deserve half a day. It lies on the outskirts of Paris and makes an easy day trip.
Which ticket to buy
The Passeport, from €25 in low season, is the only ticket that guarantees entry to the palace, and it also gives access to the Trianon estate (Grand and Petit Trianon, and the Queen's Hamlet from 12:00), the exhibitions and the gardens, including on Grandes Eaux and Musical Gardens days. The Trianon ticket alone costs €15 and does not include the palace. Under-18s and EU residents under 26 get in free, but they must also book their time slot online: it is compulsory for everyone. Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged.
Opening hours
The palace opens from 9:00 to 17:30 in low season and Trianon from 12:00 to 17:30. Both are closed on Mondays, 25 December, 1 January and 1 May. The gardens and park are open every day from 8:00 to 18:00. In high season the hours are longer: check the website before you go.
Getting there
By train from central Paris: the RER C to Versailles Château Rive Gauche, ten minutes' walk from the Place d'Armes. With a full day you have time for the palace in the morning, lunch in the gardens and Trianon in the afternoon.
