Welcome
Overview
The Estate of Versailles is vast. Use this map to locate the services and the main places. Here are also our recommendations for coming by train, car, etc.
Gardens
The gardens are open every day from 8 am to 8.30 pm during the high season (April to October) and from 8 am to 6 pm during the low season (November to March) except for exceptional events and when there are Fountains Night Show (closure at 5.30 pm). Plan for at least 2 hours for your visit.
Please note that from 29 March to 31 October, access to the gardens is subject to a charge from Tuesday to Sunday (days of the Fountains Shows and Musical Gardens). In this case, buy a "Passeport" ticket online (access to the entire estate) or a Grandes Eaux / Jardins musicaux ticket (available at the entrance of the gardens).
