As you stroll through the various corridors and rooms of the palace, your guide will recount the lives and times of the people who were able to call themselves the residents of Versailles.

In the gardens you will also be able to admire the legendary fountains and statues of Versailles, and hear the ancient Greek myths that inspired the court sculptors and fascinated the King.
