I went with my family to tour the castle, and we visited the garden. It was a very enjoyable visit; we rode bikes, took a canoe ride, and explored the garden’s mazes. It’s very impressive, and I highly recommend it.

The transportation was very well organized, and the show was magnificent—especially the fireworks. The full tour involves a lot of walking. The castle’s app is a little difficult to use.

The gardens are as beautiful as ever. I was a little disappointed by the fountains—many of them were either turned off or under renovation. The app isn't great, and it doesn't have much information.

Experience the Gardens of Versailles as they were intended to be seen, with music, water displays, and spectacular seasonal programming.

Watch dozens of fountains spring to life across the royal gardens as Baroque masterpieces accompany your visit.

Explore ornamental groves, sculptures, fountains, and landscaped pathways designed by André Le Nôtre for Louis XIV.

Choose between the Musical Fountains Show, Musical Gardens Show, or the dazzling Night Fountains Show after sunset.

Did you know? The fountains once required thousands of workers to operate, with water displays activated only when the King approached.
