The Palace of Versailles is only 20 km from Paris, but getting there by train and walking around its huge estate can be tiring. With your own chauffeur, you leave from your hotel when you want, visit at your own pace and are driven between the palace, the gardens and the Trianon estate.
A typical day at Versailles
- Morning pick-up at your hotel in Paris and a 30 to 45 minute drive to Versailles.
- The palace: the State Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors and the King's and Queen's apartments.
- Lunch in the town of Versailles or on the estate.
- The gardens and the Trianon estate: the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet. Your chauffeur drives you to the Trianon entrance to save you a long walk.
- Return to Paris at the end of the afternoon, or a stop on the way back.
Why visit Versailles with a private chauffeur?
- No trains, no transfers: door to door from your hotel.
- Your own schedule: leave early to avoid the crowds, stay as long as you like.
- Ideal for families and older travellers: the estate is huge, and the van saves you several kilometres of walking.
- Up to 8 people in one van, which makes the price per person very reasonable for a group.
The palace is closed on Mondays. Book your palace tickets in advance on the official Château de Versailles website, as entry is by time slot. Tell us your time slot and we will plan the pick-up accordingly.
Combine Versailles with other visits
Your chauffeur is yours for the day: you can add a drive past the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées on the way back, or combine Versailles with Giverny. Ask us on WhatsApp for a tailor-made itinerary.
