See the Palace of Versailles (Chateau de Versailles) as French kings once did – this tour includes a once-in-a-lifetime private viewing of the palace’s Royal Quarters.
Follow your guide to the State Apartments, where you’ll see two of the 17 rooms – the King’s Chamber and the Council Study. Then head to the fabulous Hall of Mirrors. Walk down the spectacular hall, lined with 357 mirrors that reflect the windows on the opposite wall. See the following Royal Quarters of Louis XV and Louis XVI:
- The library of Louis XVI, said to be one of his favorite rooms.
- The dining room where Louis XV held dinners for lords and ladies.
- The clock room with its clock that has a crystal globe showing the planets revolving around the sun.
- The ‘corner room;’ which contains a cylinder desk belonging to Louis XV that is considered one of the most outstanding pieces of furniture in the world.
You will then visit one of two additional royal sites, depending on daily availability: the Royal Opera House, built in 1770 to celebrate the wedding of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, or the Royal Chapel, where a series of paintings and sculptures depicts the notion that kings were chosen by God.
