It wasn’t until our sixth visit to Paris in November 2023 that we finally took a day trip to the Palace of Versailles. And we instantly wished we’d done it sooner. On the plus side – figuring out the trains was easy, it didn’t cost us a fortune, and we loved exploring the palace and grounds. But on the downside – we had miserable rainy weather and the amount of tourists inside the palace was outrageous.
Instead of rushing our visit, we decided to make an entire day out of our day trip to Versailles. We explored the main palace, the gardens, Trianon Estate and the Queen’s Hamlet. All in, it took us 8 hours to ride the RER C train round trip from Invalides to Versailles Château Rive Gauche, walk between the train station and entrance, and see the full estate.

Our Palace Of Versailles Day Trip From Paris
After half a dozen short stays in Paris without ever finding time for the popular Palace of Versailles day trip, we finally bit the bullet during our 8-day visit in November 2023 – and we’re so glad we did. The late autumn weather was dreadful with strong wind gusts and heavy rain, but the spectacular palace and beautiful grounds more than made up for the dreary conditions.
We had already pre-booked “Passport” tickets in advance for €25 each to see the whole estate with a 9:30 AM entry time slot (we wanted 9:00 AM when it opened but they were sold out). That morning we hopped on the RER C train at Invalides in Paris around 8:00 AM and arrived into Versailles Château Rive Gauche around 8:40 AM. The train journey cost us €4.50 each, both ways – and it was direct, cheap, easy and comfortable.
It took us 10 minutes to walk from the train station to the entrance and we arrived to a massive cobbled plaza with huge lines of tourists standing in specific time slot lines. Everyone was soaking wet and looking pretty miserable when we joined our 9:30 AM time slot half an hour early, huddled together underneath our umbrella and waited for what felt like forever to get in.
After watching a few other people lose their umbrellas to the wind, ours flipped inside-out, broke and joined the umbrella graveyard outside the Palace of Versailles. We eventually got inside the entrance expecting to begin our visit, but we found ourselves in another long line to pass through security and this time we were crammed in like sardines in a can. It wasn’t fun.
Another 20 minutes later we finally made it through security, showed our tickets, grabbed a paper map and paid €8 each for audio guides. Then we entered the first area of the chateaux, and it was honestly awful because every tourist had bottlenecked into the first few rooms. We were shoulder-to-shoulder for at least the first 5 or 6 rooms, which we hated and quickly passed through.
After that, the crowds began to thin and our moods began to improve. The Hall of Mirrors was as jam-packed as we expected, but otherwise the rest of the chateaux was relatively crowd-free and we had a wonderful time exploring the many rooms, halls and art works. And by the time we made it outside to the gardens, we had the grounds almost entirely to ourselves because it was still raining.
Luckily, the rain finally stopped as we ate a lovely light lunch at the bustling La Flottille, which made our long walk around the Trianon Estate and Queen’s Hamlet far more enjoyable. These extra areas added on a lot of time and steps, but we thought they were definitely worth the effort.
Avoiding The Biggest Mistakes: Our Top Palace Of Versailles Tips
Here are the mistakes we made and saw others making during our day trip, along with our tips and exactly what you should do instead:
Not Booking In Advance
Mistake: Turning up at the Palace of Versailles without a pre-booked time slot entry is the worst thing you can do, especially in peak summer months. We saw the no ticket line outside and it looked horrible. Those people had to line up to buy a ticket, and they would be given the next time slot with availability (which could have been hours later).
Tip: Buy your time slot tickets well in advance so you don’t waste time standing in line just to be given the next available time slot. Tickets are typically available three months in advance and they sell out quickly (especially in peak season), so being organized is essential. We honestly wouldn’t bother going if we didn’t have tickets with a time slot.
Going When It’s Busiest
Mistake: Visiting the palace and grounds when it’s overcrowded on Tuesdays and weekends throughout the year, or every day it’s open in the summer months of June, July and August. On these days you should expect 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM time slots to sell out and be extremely busy.
Tip: Plan your day trip for a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday – ideally between October and April when Paris isn’t quite as overrun by tourists. Even on a Wednesday morning in November our 9:30 AM time slot was full and the early part of our visit was ridiculously busy.
Visiting On A Monday
Mistake: Turning up on a Monday expecting to get into the Palace of Versailles only to realize it’s closed every Monday throughout the year. It would be so annoying to make the effort and not be able to get in, and we bet plenty of people do this every year.
Tip: Make sure the Palace of Versailles is not in your itinerary for a Monday. Go to the Louvre on Monday and the Palace of Versailles on Tuesday if you only have those two days in Paris.
Skipping The Estate
Mistake: Thinking that the palace is the whole trip. We saw plenty of people make their way towards the exit after finishing the self-guided tour of the palace, and that’s such a shame because there’s so much more to see.
Tip: Buy a “Passport” ticket (we explain tickets later) which includes access to the palace, grounds, Trianon Estate and Queen’s Hamlet. We loved seeing the other parts of the estate and would have regretted it if we bought palace-only tickets.
Mark’s top route tip: Don’t try to visit the Trianon Estate first thinking that going in reverse will make it quieter. The Trianon Estate doesn’t open until 12:00 PM, which means the best route is: Palace > Gardens > Trianon Estate.
Underestimating How Long It Takes To Visit
Mistake: Thinking that you can see the entire estate in just a few hours.
Tip: Allow for at least 8 hours round trip from Paris. That’s how long it took us to wait in our time slot queue, get through security, see the palace, grab lunch, walk to the Trianon Estate and Queen’s Hamlet, explore that whole other side of the estate and then get back to the city. It was a long day and we were tired by the end, so understand that this day trip will eat up a day on your Paris itinerary.
Paying For An Audio Guide
Mistake: Not knowing that you can follow the full audio guide for free by downloading this official app.
Tip: We paid €8 each for audio guides because we didn’t know about the app. Download it to your phone when you have WiFi or cell service, then you can use the app on site without an internet connection. It’s the same as paying for the on-site audio guides and saves you €8 per person.
Not Booking A Guided Tour
Mistake: Worrying about trains, tickets and figuring out where to go without knowing that you can book a guided tour from Paris which includes trains, tickets and a professional tour guide.
Tip: If you have a bit of extra cash for your Paris trip, we think the Louvre and Palace of Versailles are the two major attractions to splurge on a guided tour. We’ll show you the best guided tour options later in the guide.
Wearing The Wrong Shoes
Mistake: Wearing flashy or impractical shoes is going to cause problems, especially if you plan to walk to the Trianon Estate. The whole place is cobblestones and uneven ground.
Tip: Wear comfortable, well worn shoes for the long day on your feet. We both wore running shoes with bounce and spring because we knew we’d clock up some serious milage, and we’re so glad we went for stamina over style.
Forgetting To Check The Weather
Mistake: Not checking to see if it’s going to be hot, cold, wet or windy can lead to under or over dressing, and not packing well.
Tip: Check the weather forecast for Paris the night before your visit. We wore the right clothes and packed the right things because we understood what conditions we were coming up against.
Not Checking The Musical Fountain Schedule
Mistake: Visiting on a musical fountain day without knowing it requires a specific ticket, or visiting on a non-fountain day expecting to see the water running.
Tip: Check the fountain schedule to see if it will be running when you visit and plan accordingly. The fountains were not running when we visited in November – they only operate between April and October.
Not Stopping For Lunch
Mistake: Trying to push through and see the full estate without stopping to refuel will lead to burn-out. The grounds are enormous and there’s a lot of walking required to see it all.
Tip: Eat after the palace and before exploring the grounds. There are a few decent food options on site, including Angelina inside the palace (formal, expensive, tea and croque monsieur), La Flottille (French) or La Petite Venise (Italian) in the grounds, and a few other kiosks dotted around the gardens. We ate at La Flottille – it had a fun atmosphere, and the food was actually pretty good. But if you need to keep costs down, pick up pastries, baguettes, cheese and wine at a boulangerie in Versailles for a picnic in the park near the Grand Canal.
Mark’s top foodie tip: You can book a breakfast at Ore package for €52/person from 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM which includes breakfast by chef Alain Ducasse and priority entrance tickets to the palace afterwards.

Palace Of Versailles Tickets + Hours
We’ve visited many of the world’s most famous attractions – some have easy ticket processes and others are a bit more complicated. We’d say the Palace of Versailles is somewhere in the middle because there are several different ticket types available based on when you visit, what you want to see, your age and whether you’re an EEA resident.
Here’s everything we learned about tickets and hours.
How to book tickets:
- Head over to the official website
- Select which ticket you want to buy (ie. “Passport”)
- Select a date and time slot (ie. Wed 14th Jan at 9:00 AM)
- Choose number of full price, EEA or free entry tickets
- Optionally add an audio guide (select 0 if planning to use the free app)
- Create a compulsory account and pay
Tickets are available for purchase on site at the ticket office in the South Minsters Wing on the left side of the Honour Courtyard. But the lines can be extremely long (up to 3 hours in peak season) and there’s a risk of not being able to visit the palace at all because tickets can sell out – so we strongly encourage you to book in advance.
Which ticket should you buy?
There are several ticket options including palace only and Estate of Trianon only. But the best ticket to buy for a first visit is the “Passport” ticket, which includes entry to the entire estate and it comes with a time slot (which is the essential part of an efficient experience).
It’s important to know that the “Passport” ticket automatically includes access to the musical gardens and fountain shows in peak season. We thought the prices went up in peak season to encourage visitors to visit in the off season, but it’s mostly because the fountain show runs almost every day in peak season, so the ticket cost reflects the bonus feature.
We bought Passport tickets and spent a full day exploring every part of the palace and grounds. It’s the ticket we’d buy again next time.
Passport ticket prices:
| Tickets | Nov 1 – Mar 31 | Apr 1 – Oct 31 |
|---|---|---|
| Adult EEA (18+) | €22 | €25 |
| Adult non-EEA (18+) | €32 | €35 |
| EEA (under 26) | Free | Free |
| Child (under 18) | Free | Free |
Confused by those prices? Let’s say a family of 4 with two adults, a 24 year old and 17 year old is visiting in the low season from Spain (within EEA) – the total cost would be €44. Now let’s say the same family is visiting in the high season from the US – the total cost would be €105.
Kristen’s money saving tip: You can snag Passport tickets for free every first Sunday of every month between November and March. However, you still have to book a time slot and these days are always busy because they’re free, so it’s a trade-off.
High season hours (Apr 1 – Oct 31):
- Palace: Tuesday – Sunday, 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM
- Estate of Trianon: Tuesday – Sunday, 12:00 PM – 6:30 PM
- Gardens: Daily, 8:00 AM – 8:30 PM
- Park: Daily, 7:00 AM – 8:30 PM
Low season hours (Nov 1 – Mar 31):
- Palace: Tuesday – Sunday, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM
- Estate of Trianon: Tuesday – Sunday, 12:00 PM – 5:30 PM
- Gardens: Daily, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Park: Daily, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Mark’s top planning tip: Avoid visiting on Tuesday if you can help it. The Louvre is closed so more tourists flock to the palace, plus the palace is closed on Mondays so anyone who couldn’t go on the Monday will go on the Tuesday. Double whammy!
How To Get To Versailles From Paris
When researching for our day trip, we quickly realized the easiest and cheapest way to get from Paris to the Palace of Versailles was by taking the RER C train from Invalides to Versailles Château Rive Gauche. Now, Invalides was the closest station to our hotel, but it might not be the closest to yours, so use this Paris metro map pdf to see your closest station.
The train journey only took around 40 minutes and it cost us €4.50 each, both ways. So our total cost for transportation was €18 round trip for both of us. And from Versailles Château Rive Gauche train station, it was an easy 10-minute to walk to the palace entrance. Here’s the walking route to follow.
Other options to consider:
L line train to Versailles Rive Droit: Take the L train from Gare St-Lazare to Versailles Rive Droit if you’re staying near the Right Bank (Opera, 8th or 9th arrondissements). The train takes 35 minutes and it’s a 15-20 minute walk to the palace.
N line train to Versailles Chantiers: Take the N train from Gare Montparnasse to Versailles Chantiers if you’re staying in the left bank (6th, 14th or 15th arrondissements). The train takes 15 minutes and it’s a 15-20 minute walk to the palace.
Uber: Driving could take anywhere between 45-60 minutes depending on traffic, and will cost something like €45 each way (this can fluctuate depending on many factors).
Metro + Bus: Take metro line 9 to Pont de Sevres and then bus 191 to the palace. This would be cheap, but less convenient with the transfer and would likely involve a second transfer to get to a line 9 station in Paris (it doesn’t go through the most popular tourist areas).
Kristen’s top logistics tip: Taking the RER-C train is the most common way to visit the palace on a DIY independent day trip. But avoid the mistake we made – buy return tickets instead of single tickets when you first arrive at the train station in Paris to avoid long lines at Versailles Château Rive Gauche going back to Paris later in the day. We had to join a massive line and missed a train.
What To Do At The Palace Of Versailles
Let’s walk through what you can expect at the palace and grounds, based on what we discovered across our visit.
Exploring The Palace
The palace was by far the most popular part of our visit, with massive crowds in the early rooms after we entered through the 9:30 AM time slot. It took us around 2 hours 30 minutes to walk around the pre-determined self-guided palace tour route with our audio guides.
Our favorite rooms were the Hall of Mirrors (it was so busy but still awesome), Marie Antoinette’s Bedchamber, the Gallery of Great Battles, the Opera, and the Coronation Room. But we didn’t see the King’s Apartment because we didn’t book the official guided tour for €10.
Enjoying The Gardens
After visiting the palace, we walked out into the vast collection of sprawling gardens. It was hammering down with rain, which put a lot of people off but we braved the elements and walked through small sections of the Water Walk, the Royal Way and the King’s Garden Grove.
If the weather was better we would have spent longer looking for more of the 300+ sculptures and popular sites like the Great Lawn, Apollo’s Fountain, Neptune’s Fountain, the Orangery and the Groves.
Kristen’s top gardens view: We loved the front-on view of the beautiful gardens from above when walking through the Hall of Mirrors. We could see all the way to the Grand Canal.
Watching The Musical Fountains Show
It wasn’t running during our visit in November (low season) – but from April 1st through October 31st (high season), you can enjoy Musical Fountains on Saturdays and Sundays or Musical Gardens on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. They’re located in the gardens after the self-guided walk through the palace.
If you buy the “Passport” ticket, the fountains and gardens shows are automatically included in the price. Whereas if you buy a palace only ticket, you’ll have to buy gardens tickets separately, even just to access the gardens (they’re not free if these special events are taking place).
There is also a “Night Fountains Show” every Saturday evening through the high season with fireworks and dramatic lighting over the Grand Canal. We think this would be a cool and unique experience, so we’d be tempted to book an afternoon time slot on a Saturday next time if we visited independently without a guided tour.
Walking Along The Grand Canal
We walked around the very first part of the Grand Canal after the palace, gardens and Le char d’Apollon – but we didn’t walk very far to the west because the weather was grim and we wanted to grab lunch at La Flottille before walking up to the Trianon Estate.
That said, if the weather was better we would have walked a bit further along the Grand Canyon because it is photogenic and much quieter after the crowded palace. And if we took our daughter next time, we’d definitely rent a row boat on the canal for 30 minutes. The boats can be rented near La Flottille restaurant.
Exploring The Trianon Estate
We absolutely loved walking around the Estate of Trianon – which included the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon and the Queen’s Hamlet. This was where the French royal family would go for walks, hold dinners and put on their famous parties. And it was so peaceful compared to the main palace.
The Grand Trianon had beautiful pink marble columns and pilasters. Inside, we explored both the North Wing and South Wing – including the Mirror Room, Bedchambers, Chapel Rooms, Family Drawing Room, Malachite Room and Map Room. Then we took a stroll around the stunning Grand Trianon Gardens to see its various statues and fountains.
Next, we visited the Petit Trianon – Marie Antoinette’s private sanctuary. The neoclassical mini-palace was lovely but it was far less showy, which we actually really liked because it felt more normal and less gold-plated-everything.
Afterwards we spent an hour looping counter-clockwise around the maze-like English gardens to see the Temple of Love, Queen’s Hamlet (10 cottages surrounding an artificial lake), Le Belvedere which Marie Antoinette used as a music and tea room, and La Grotte de Marie Antoinette – the Queen’s ultimate private hideout spot.
Seeing The Small Stables & Great Stables
After leaving the palace through the main entrance, there’s one final stop to make if you visit on a weekend – around 5 minutes walk back into town you can go into the Great Stables to see the Gallery of Coaches and the Small Stables to see the Sculpture Gallery.
The Gallery of Coaches houses the coronation coach of Charles X and the carriage used for Napoleon’s wedding, and the Sculpture Gallery houses the original marble statues from the gardens of Versailles which were moved indoors to protect against weathering.
Both are free to visit, but they’re only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:30 PM – 5:30 PM. We visited on a weekday when they were closed, otherwise we would have had a quick look around them before heading back to the train station.
Renting A Bike Or Riding The Train
The Palace of Versailles is an enormous complex, and there’s a ton of walking involved to reach the various areas we’ve discussed. But there are less physically demanding alternatives – you can rent a bike, hire a golf cart, or ride the Petit Train to get between the main palace and Trianon Estate.
Regular bikes can be rented for €10/hour and electric bikes can be rented for €16/hour, which we feel is reasonable value. The minimum hire period is 30 minutes and you can pay with cash or card, but you will need a valid ID. Rentals begin at 10:00 AM near La Petite Venise on the banks of the Grand Canal.
The golf carts were a lot more expensive, something like €40 for the first hour and then another €10 for every 15 minutes after that. Bear in mind you can’t take the golf cart into the Trianon Estate, so you’d have to park it and leave the meter running as you visited the Grand Trianon and Queen’s Hamlet (which took us a good 2 hours to fully explore).
During our rainy day, the bike wouldn’t have been much fun and the golf cart wasn’t cost effective, so the only real option we considered to travel between the main palace and Trianon Estate was the Petit Train. The covered coach train only costs €4.60 each way and children under 11 are free if accompanied by an adult.
But we love to walk (even in the rain!) so we didn’t use either, but they’re perfect if you don’t want to clock up a massive amount of steps during your visit.
Do It Yourself Or Book A Guided Tour?
We’ve talked about the mistakes to avoid, buying tickets and what to expect after arriving. Next, let’s discuss the differences between visiting independently and booking a guided tour.
After 10+ trips to Paris and visiting every major attraction more than once, our honest opinion is that the Palace of Versailles is one of two attractions that we would be happy to spend our money on a guided tour – along with the Louvre.
We wouldn’t pay for a guided tour of the Eiffel Tower, but the Louvre and Palace of Versailles are different because there’s so many works of art to learn about. Plus, the added benefit with guided tours of the Palace of Versailles is that most include guided transport (you meet the guide and they take you to Versailles by RER C train).
DIY
Visiting the Palace of Versailles independently by ourselves gave us flexibility over our schedule and it was the cheapest way to do it. But it meant we had to sort out our own trains, buy our own tickets with time slots and get ourselves around the art works with our audio guides. This part was our least favorite because the audio guides are limited and we found ourselves switching-off regularly.
Are you the sort of traveler who doesn’t mind organizing your own transport and attractions? If so, visit independently. The trains are solid and the audio guides are good enough for a basic introduction to learning about the palace and grounds. It’s also the best way to visit on a budget.
Guided Tours
We’ve taken some amazing tours and some pretty underwhelming tours throughout our global travels. In the process we’ve figured out when it’s worth booking one, and when it’s not.
Here, we think it’s worth doing because a guided tour gives you more than just a historian walking around the palace explaining art works and royal rooms – it also gives you a guide who meets you in Paris and takes you to Versailles on the RER C train. Entry tickets are included, and you get an expert guided tour of the palace and grounds, which will be far more informative than audio guides.
We didn’t book a guided tour because we don’t mind figuring out transport and tickets (we do this for a living!), and we wanted to keep costs down because we had 8 days worth of attractions, hotels and food to pay for. But honestly? We regret not doing a guided tour because we didn’t know where to find the most important artifacts, and the audio guide wasn’t especially engaging.
Here are the best guided tour options we can find (we’d happily book any of these ourselves next time):
King’s Private Apartments: Official tour booked through the same website you book “Passport” tickets. It’s a 1.5-hour tour of Louis XI and Louis XVI apartments, but it’s just an add-on and the rest of your visit will be self-guided with audio tour. This is the only official tour offered, there is no all-in-one guided tour.
Palace and grounds guided tour – This top rated tour with Take Walks is the one we’d book next time. It includes round trip trains, a guide meeting in Paris, and an expert guided tour of the palace and grounds. The morning tour gives you enough free time to explore Trianon Estate, whereas the afternoon tour includes exclusive access to the King’s Private Apartments.
Versailles bike tour – This full day bike tour of Versailles including the Palace and Trianon Estate looks fantastic and has stellar reviews. Entrance ticket and round trip train fares included, along with guided bike ride through the grounds. Ends at the palace with free time to explore at own pace.
Private Golf Cart Tour – This VIP tour of Versailles includes private guided walk through the palace and golf cart tour of the grounds. It’s perfect if you’re visiting solo, as a couple or a group of three and want a personalized private tour of the palace and grounds with no effort. This tour does not include round trip train tickets from Paris.

Is The Palace Of Versailles Worth Visiting?
Our honest answer: It’s a very long and tiring day trip from Paris with trains to figure out and lots of walking, but the Palace of Versailles is a uniquely beautiful and historic complex that we thought was well worth the effort.
If it’s your first time visiting Paris and you’re not sure whether to include a day trip to the Palace of Versailles or not, we’d say skip it if you only have 1-2 days, but definitely add it to your itinerary if you have 3 or more days. Follow our 2 day Paris itinerary and then visit Versailles on day 3.
We enjoyed the palace but it was very busy, even in November. Our advice is to buy the full “Passport” ticket or book a guided tour, so you get full access to the grounds, Trianon Estate and Queen’s Hamlet. We loved walking around the picturesque and much quieter areas further away from the palace.
