Tips & Advice

Visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday

Timing

Mondays the palace is closed, so Tuesdays get overflow crowds. Wednesdays are typically the quietest days.

See the Musical Fountains Show

Experience

On weekends from April to October, the gardens feature a spectacular musical fountains show. It requires a separate gardens ticket.

Start with the Grand Trianon

Timing

Most visitors start at the Palace. Go to the Grand Trianon and Marie Antoinette's Estate first, then finish at the Palace when crowds thin out.
