Overview

See the VIP side of Versailles on this small-group day trip from Paris. Travel is made easy with a local trip leader who escorts you by train, taking the guesswork out of getting there and round-trip tickets included. At the palace, begin with a guided walk through the famous gardens to soak in sweeping views and grand fountains.
