Our visit to Versailles was more than we could have expected. We went on a half day tour (via Expedia) from Paris to avoid the massive line to get in. This allowed us to get right in rather than waiting in a line that we were told could take up to 2-3 hours. Our guide was very knowledgable and enabled... More

Everything inside was beautiful and interesting, but you have to be prepared for crowds of people, a lot of pushing and waiting in lines to see things. We got our tickets at the office right outside the RER train station (Versaille-River Gauche stop), which was good because the line looked awful. The line just to get into the palace was... More

I have always wanted to see Versailles and have just come back from a week in Paris with my mum (60) and sister (we are both 40 ish...) Having gone all that way, there was no way we wanted to miss seeing Versailles. Having said that, we did read some of the reviews on this site and nearly didnt bother!... More

Picturesque gardens in back of palace. When you get off train station do not be sucked in to buy tickets at Guidatours which has employees on the street sucking people into their store. There is no line to buy tickets right at the attraction. There was a line to go thru the gates irrespective. Enjoy

Like almost everyone else, we loved the Chateau Versailles for the amazing things to see and the fabulous gardens. That ends the good part of the review. There are two things that ruined Versailles for us. The first is the crowd. We had been warned (see the other reviews) that there would be queues for the entrance and in the... More

Versailles is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth a visit. The gardens especially are just magnificent. Buy a ticket which includes a visit to the trianons because they're worth visiting and are a lot less hectic. Take the mini train to the trianons its quite a walk from the chateaux. The only downside is the amount of people in the main... More

The Chateau is beautiful, but even with a museum pass we waited outside for 2 hours in the longest line I have ever seen. These crowds of course were also inside, pushing and shoving, which really took away from our enjoyment. If you want to have an enjoyable visit, be sure to plan ahead - museum passes will not allow... More

The moment I got out from the Versailles - Rive Gauche station, you had the feeling that time stopped and you were brought back into the past. The Versailles palace is about 15 mins walk from the station and there are street signs to help you. You will need to spend an entire day there.

This place is a feast for the eyes!!!! Trully incredible! The inside of the Chateau looks a little run down, but perhaps is because of the amount of traffic it receives each day. The hall of mirrors is amazing, but the best parts for me were the gardens and Marie Antoinette's state. You must see the state. The food in... More
