Such a memorable experience, the restoration and maintenance of this property is unbelievable. It was like taking a step back in time. Everything was preserved so well and I really appreciate detail to keeping everything original. It was beautiful. The sculptures and busts looked great in person and I would love to come back again. Highly recommend

Convenient entry, but we cannot see anyone checking the ticket for entering the garden. We were confused about this.

It is better to make a reservation in the morning for the Palace of Versailles. I made the right reservation for the earliest possible time. It takes about 2 hours just to walk there.

The garden is large, so I recommend visiting in the morning. I made a reservation at the clock and showed the voucher and entered without any problems. It is far from Paris, so I think you should go early. The weather was a bit disappointing, but I want to visit again. I recommend visiting in the spring and summer.
