About this activity

The Garden of Versailles tells as many tales as the royal palace itself. Embark on a journey with an audio guide to uncover the mysteries of court life and the history of the estate.

You're guaranteed to learn about: which fountain in Versailles is the tallest; why you wouldn't want to live in Versailles; how curled wigs came into fashion; why Louis the 14th is called the Sun King; what recipe Louis the 15th used to make his hot chocolate.

The convenient audio guide app features a GPS map with a pre-planned route to the most stunning fountains and hidden gems of the garden. Wander at your own leisure without the need to keep up with a group. The audio guide can always be heard clearly through your headphones. Feel free to pause the guide at any point or replay the recording. Once the tour data is downloaded, the app functions offline.
