Video Description

The Palace of Versailles is one of the most spectacular places to visit in France and is a popular day trip from Paris. In this ultimate Versailles travel guide we'll take you on a full tour of the palace, including to the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon, around the gardens, and to the calm and peaceful 'Hameau de la Reine' (Queen's Hamlet). Versailles began life as a small hunting lodge around 12 miles away from Paris. At this time, the road into the tiny hamlet and dilapidated hunting lodge was often used by farmers to move their cattle. All of this changed during the reign of Louis XIV (The Sun King) when he embarked on a bold project (the first of its kind) whereby the king would live together with his court. Today you can visit the Palace, grounds, and surrounding buildings and see what life would have been like for Royals during the 17th-century.
