The size of the palace is amazing. Walk through it and enjoy picturing what went on here during through the centuries. The gardens are so well maintained and so beautiful. It was crowded which was the only negative.

We visited on May 10th (an unofficial French BAnk Holiday) Not that they appeared to be any French in the queues (more sense)!! The train journey & purchasing the tickets (tourist office opposite Versailles train station) were simple enough, as was the 5 min walk to the entrance! We were advised to expect a 45 min queue to get through... More

We left Paris on the RER C from Invalides at 7.48am, got to Versailles-Rive-Gauche Chateau at 8.18 and easily found our way to Versailles by 8.30am. (Map outside the station helps!) We had bought our tickets the night before online, and printed them at an internet cafe in Paris, so were able to join the entrance queue immediately on arrival... More

Went to the "chateau" on a Sunday afternoon, along with a billion other people. Didn't enjoy the experience at all. First off, lack of signage for audio guides, washrooms etc. The place is huge, you would think that there would be a map, staff directing people etc... I didn't see that. So, once we got our audio guides, we were... More

I visited here several times by car but this is my first time visit by train. The Paris transportation system RER C5 will take you there in a comfortable ride. From the station "Versailles Chateau Rive Gauche" it is 10 minutes walk to the gate. Be careful to not miss the ticket booth located on far ahead of the golden... More

Before you reach Versailles- Make sure you buy tickets online; otherwise you may have to stand in a queue of about 10min to just buy tickets ! Once you reach there- When I reached... More

Versailles was the royal palace before the French revolution and its grandeur and beauty is apt proof of this fact. The palace spans a huge area and there ia a lot to see. The Palace Chapel, the Hall of Mirrors, the royal apartments, rooms depicting the history of Versailles, the awesome painted and decorated ceilings and finally the beautiful gardens... More

I think its probably obligatory to visit versaille when in paris and i would have to say its worth it. The town itself is quite charming. We waited for at least 2 hours in the longest que i have ever seen to get in. I have to say that some of the rooms were quite impressive such as the ballroom... More

You may be thinking to yourself that you have a limited time in Paris . . . and that your trip to Versailles will take up an entire day; perhaps too much time . . . I wasn't particularly interested in spending an entire day in Versailles but it was on my wife's bucket list . . . how could... More
