Then, onto a series of “Salons” made up from the Grand Apartments, where the King was supposed to have lived.

We are a family of four (kids aged 10 and 9) and we booked a Versailles Tour with Europe4kids: PERFECT. Our professional guide kept the entire family engaged for all the tour!! Versailles can be very crowded, but the kids were so enthralled and we loved every minute of our tour. I will not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone. Thank you
We very much enjoyed the tour with Europe4kids at Versailles! Our 7 and 9 your old daughters were entertained and excited by the details given about the attractions. An amazing way to have the entire family enjoy the place and the benefit of seeing the major treasures with a private tour guide and still allow plenty of time to see other areas on your own. Highly recommended it!
