Chandeliers need a wash but cleaning must be a nightmare. Vast, endless and worth walking the whole stretch to get area to yourself. Look at the marbles, fabrics and artistry. MUST.

I wanted to make sure that all tourists taking the RER – C train from Paris to Versailles beware of the tourist trap on the train! We just rode the train and we were given a €50 infraction fine on the spot because the tip of my wife’s shoe was touching the seat in front of us. Many other people on the train got the same infraction fine and had to pay €50 on the spot with cash or credit card. There was a whole team of conductors walking through each train cabin sneaking up behind people to see if their foot was touching or placed on the seat in front of them. If you claimed no cash or no credit card, and they insisted to see your passport in which they would send you a fine for €100 to be paid later. Not even a warning, and no signs posted in English, and no way to convince them otherwise. This is clearly a tourist tax for these French “gestapo” to extract money from tourists unfairly. Just please beware!

We toured the Grand Trianon but did not go to the Petit or Hamlet. Would have liked to do all three but ran out of time. The Grand Trianon was a great addition to the Versailles Palace Tour. It was a pleasant walk from the garden but trams were available as well. Worth the additional time

Stunning building, just take your time and enjoy looking around, beautiful place, what a wonderful place to actually attend an opera or ballet. Definitely recommend visiting whilst in Paris, one not to be missed I think.

Absolutely loved visiting this after visiting versailles. It is truly out of a fairytale. To bad you can not go inside to see but still very nice and beautiful.

Grand canal is a pretty big man made lake you can see from the gardens of Versailles - that's its longer hand. However, if walking along it you'll notice at the center it has two more hands making it look like a cross.

when you are at the Petit Trianon make sure that you walk thorugh the gardens - there are surprised everywhere. Statues, bridges, creeks, ponds and this lovely structure.

Like in many other Chateaus this is a perfect layout of water features, precisely manicured lawns and trees and amazing symmetry. It looked beautiful even on a cold and cloudy Jan day.

there are days when the fountains have a musical show but we were not there for that but still found them beautiful with the intricate design features and the hundreds of sculptures. one of the first things you see when you are leaving the Chateau and are heading to the gardens.

It is a beautiful building with a cute garden and water fountains. I really like the big statue of Christ (copy of Christus by Thorvaldsen) in the garden. The visitor center is an interesting place for the whole family with much to learn.

Our 8 hour private tour of Paris and the Picasso Museum was absolutely fantastic. Julien our tour guide was phenomenal and provided such a detailed and interesting tour. Private Tours Paris were very professional in all their communication and I would thoroughly recommend them.
