The Palace of Versailles, roughly 20km southwest of Paris, was the seat of French royal power for over a century and remains one of the most visited sights in the country. A guided tour is the easiest way to see it well: the palace draws huge crowds, and a skip-the-line ticket or timed-entry guide can save a significant wait, especially in the Hall of Mirrors.

Full-day tours typically include transport from central Paris and time in the formal gardens, and some add the Trianon palaces and Marie-Antoinette’s estate on the grounds. It’s a comfortable half- or full-day trip that pairs naturally with a morning in Paris.
