What you can expect

On this full-day tour from Paris, explore the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles in the morning and the charm of Claude Monet’s estate in Giverny in the afternoon. Begin with a skip-the-line guided tour of the famous palace, then enjoy free time to explore the gardens before heading to Monet’s world-renowned home.

From the heart of Paris, board a coach for a scenic ride to Versailles. Once there, skip the line and join an official guide to discover the palace’s most iconic rooms, including the Hall of Mirrors, the King and Queen’s apartments, and the Salon of Abundance. After the tour, enjoy some free time to stroll through the manicured gardens and, on select days, experience the Fountain Show.

In the afternoon, travel east to the quaint village of Giverny. Begin with a short orientation at Monet’s house and gardens, then explore at your own pace using a self-guided app. Wander through the lush gardens, admire the lily ponds, and step inside the ivy-covered house to see how the iconic Impressionist painter lived. Take time to enjoy lunch on your own and soak in the serene atmosphere before returning to Paris.
