Mobile ticket
Discover the lavish State Apartments and stunning Hall of Mirrors within the official residence of the French monarchy from 1682 to 1789 – The Palace of Versailles. Uncover fascinating details about Louis XIV and other members of the French royal family.
Versailles was once a quiet village until Louis XIII initiated construction on a hunting lodge in 1623. By century's end, ongoing development transformed both the town and castle into a powerful symbol of absolute monarchy during the Ancien Régime.
Your admission grants you entry to these splendid State Apartments designed by Le Vau. Experience court life as you stroll through the dazzling Hall of Mirrors.
Explore notable figures in French royalty leading up to the Revolution when, in October 1789, the royal family had no choice but to retreat back to Paris.
Keep in mind that during peak season, waiting times for entering the Palace can exceed two hours—even if tickets are pre-purchased.

2.00Fast booking but problem, not received our tickets. Hard to reach the platform. However once contacted the person was very reassuring, unfortunately no possibility of visit and always waiting for the refund.

2.00If you are going to "do" Paris you probably have to include Versailles on your list of things to see. My advice is to lower your expectations. Granted, there are several "wow!" rooms in the palace, but most of the first 10 or so state apartments are the equivalent of being in an ornate art museum (paintings hanging on the walls). I cannot imagine being in these spaces with children. You do get to see beds' in the King and Queen's bedrooms. The crowd of people that get crammed into these spaces makes movement from room to room difficult. For some reason tour groups seem to believe they have a level of priority that borders on obnoxiousness. We had timed tickets and still waited 45 minutes beyond to enter the palace. Harsh as this sounds: raise ticket prices and limit daily ticket sales.
Rip-off Ticket Scam

1.00Rip-off by vendor 'Wanderung' We were charged double the price available at Versailles. Price changed was 85 Euro. Versailles charge $41 Euro. The vendor charged us 10 Euro per ticket for under 18 Versailles is free. Disgraceful behaviour by the vendor. Do not use this service. I expected better from Trip Adviser and was not careful enough do not trust these services.
