What to expect
Expect to be led through the palace's most significant chambers with historical context, then released to wander the Gardens with guidance on key vistas and architectural features. The Trianon Estate—Marie-Antoinette's private retreat—can be added on if time and energy permit. Security checks and peak-day crowds may slow progress, so arrive early and stay hydrated. The route involves considerable ground; comfortable shoes are essential. Departure is punctual; late arrivals miss the group.
Good to know

Hotel transfers aren't included; use public transport to reach the meeting point. Punctuality is non-negotiable; the group departs on schedule.
