Information
DISCOVER THE SECRETS HIDDEN BY THE PALACE OF VERSAILLES DURING THIS UNUSUAL TOUR. HEAR THE SPINE-TINGLING TALES OF MURDER, POISONING AND SCANDAL WHICH ROCKED THE ROYAL PALACE! Accompanied by your guide, you will make your way to the Palace of Versailles from central Paris. Upon arrival, you'll be led on a 2-hour tour that reveals the darkness hiding beneath the palace's golden façade – and the consequences of making enemies within the royal court... Learn about what life was like at the palace under the reign of France's Kings, along with some surprising stories that are usually neglected during classic tours, including the Affair of the Poisons and the Affair of the Diamond Necklace. You will discover that the palace was partly built on a cemetery, and the ghost of Marie-Antoinette is sometimes seen there... After the tour, you can explore the gardens at your own pace, where special events such as the Fountain Show and Musical Gardens are held during the summer (supplement). A mesmerizing excursion full of surprises and bone-chilling mysteries!
