And just when you think that you have seen all that the Palace of Versailles has to offer, you’ll burst into the sunlight and encounter its dazzling manicured gardens, over 1,800 acres in size. We suggest choosing a date when either the famous Versailles Fountain Show or Musical Gardens are running (all running days from July to August, all days except Wednesday from September to October). The ticket to the show will be included in your tour price. The Versailles Fountain Show is a wonderful musical event held in the exclusive groves, designed by André Le Nôtre. Watch fountains explode to the sounds of a cello at the Fountain Show or just be enchanted by the simple beauty of classical music played in beautiful surroundings during the Musical Gardens event. Take some more time to experience the gardens on your own, wandering their beautiful olive groves and lawns.
