This tour allows you to experience
everything Paris has to offer and to visit
the fabulous Palace and Gardens of
Versailles in a single day. The day begins
with a visit to the Palace of Versailles,
symbol of the supreme power of the French
monarchy. After lunch in a Paris restaurant,
you will have an opportunity to admire the
heart of the capital with a city tour by
panoramic coach, followed by a cruise along
the Seine by modern, fully-glassed boat. And
to bring this unique day to a close, you
will visit the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower
for uninterrupted views across Paris.
Set off from Central Paris at 8:45 a.m. for
the Palace of Versailles. Built in 1623 by
Louis XIII, the Palace of Versailles became
the symbol of the French kingdom, under
Louis XIV in particular. Commentary provided
by your guide will be played through
individual headsets, allowing you to learn
about the palace's most beautiful rooms: the
Royal Apartments of the King and Queen, and
the grand and famous Hall of Mirrors, a
