Overview

Discover two of France’s most iconic landmarks in a single, curated journey limited to just 6 guests.

Begin your day at the Louvre Museum with access and a fully guided tour led by a licensed expert. In an intimate group, you'll explore timeless masterpieces and hidden corners of the world's most visited museum.

After your visit, enjoy a relaxed lunch break at your own pace, then travel by comfortable coach to the majestic Palace of Versailles. There, your guide will lead a two-hour tour through the royal apartments, culminating in the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, where history and grandeur meet.

Conclude with a gentle orientation in the gardens, then enjoy free time to explore further — or unwind with a glass of champagne, herbal infusion, or cocktail near the fountains.

This semi-private experience blends art, royalty, and elegance — the perfect way to immerse yourself in France’s cultural heritage without the rush.
