Versailles - Guided Tour in The King's Private Apartments
Overview
Step inside the private world of the Kings of Versailles!
Experience a more intimate and exclusive side of the Palace of Versailles with a guided tour of the King’s Private Apartments.
These remarkable rooms are not included in the standard Palace visit and can only be accessed with a guide. Away from the busiest areas of the Palace, you will explore the private apartments of Louis XV and Louis XVI in a small group, accompanied by a professional guide selected by the Versailles Tourist and Convention Office.
Discover the rooms where some of the most fascinating moments in French history took place. See the room where Mozart performed a private concert for the royal family and the room where Louis XVI received Benjamin Franklin during the American War of Independence.
