Best time to visit
Arrive at opening on weekdays or late afternoon to avoid the largest tour groups, spring and early autumn offer pleasant weather and active fountains.

Buy the Passport ticket for access to the Palace, Trianons and gardens, and use the Paris Museum Pass to skip lines; individual tickets are typically around €20-30 depending on options.

About
Fakta singkat: Langit-langit yang dilukis penuh detail membuat pengunjung sering menengadah berdecak kagum, sedangkan cermin-cermin besar menggandakan kilau lampu kristal sehingga ruangan terasa tak berujung. Taman-taman dirancang seperti panggung lanskap dengan air mancur dan kanal tersembunyi, konon jaringan saluran dan pompa yang rumitnya pernah menggerakkan pertunjukan air skala raksasa.
Sorotan: Bayangkan 357 cermin memantulkan cahaya matahari ke dalam aula sepanjang 73 meter, sementara langit-langit karya Charles Le Brun memamerkan adegan mitologis berlapis emas yang tampak hidup saat kilauan itu berganti warna. Setiap musim panas ada pertunjukan bernama Grandes Eaux Musicales, lebih dari 30 air mancur diselaraskan dengan musik barok sehingga suara air, trompet, dan harpa mengisi udara, memberi sensasi berjalan di taman yang terdengar seperti orkestra hidup.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable, flat shoes; palace floors and garden paths mean lots of walking.
- Head straight to the Hall of Mirrors early for photos before crowds arrive, and avoid using flash.
- Start with the Grand Trianon and Marie Antoinette estate to escape the main palace crush.
- On Musical Fountain or Grandes Eaux days position yourself by the Grand Canal for the best fountain views, otherwise use side paths for quieter garden photos.
