The meeting point is at 6 avenue du Dr Brouardel, 75007 Paris, where guests check in 30 minutes before departure. During the one-hour drive, visitors can download a mobile app that provides audio commentary in ten languages, covering court life under Louis XIV. Upon arrival, guests will see the Monument to Louis XIV before beginning their visit. The tour includes a 45-minute unguided visit to the Palace of Versailles, with about 30 minutes spent in the Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors). After the palace visit, guests spend around 30 minutes walking through the formal gardens, which feature numerous fountains and the one-mile-long Grand Canal where Louis XIV sailed gondolas. Entrance tickets to the Palace, the Grand Royal Apartments, and the Gardens are included, even on days with the Musical Fountains show. Photos without flash are allowed inside the palace. Baby strollers are not permitted inside the palace, and the tour is not suitable for those with walking difficulties. Headphones are not provided, so visitors must bring their own to use the audio guide app. The coach returns to Paris at the end of the tour, dropping guests off at the original meeting point in the 1st Arrondissement. The site can be crowded during high season, with possible queues in the morning. The audio guide app requires a fully charged phone.
