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.
Budget tips
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. Young visitors and residents may have free or reduced entry and seasonal free-first-Sunday offers appear, so book timed slots and check the official site in advance.

About
Fatos rápidos: Ao cruzar o Salão dos Espelhos, a sucessão hipnótica de reflexos e luz transforma qualquer visita num espetáculo de opulência. Nos jardins há centenas de esculturas e fontes, além de um engenhoso sistema hidráulico que permitia espetáculos noturnos com fontes programadas.
Destaques: A Galeria dos Espelhos tem 73 metros de comprimento e 17 janelas que se refletem em arcos forrados de espelhos e folhas de ouro; quando o sol da manhã entra o salão brilha como se estivesse cheio de fogo líquido. Nos jardins desenhados por André Le Nôtre, mais de 800 hectares foram moldados em precisas perspectivas geométricas, e nas noites das Grandes Águas centenas de jatos sincronizados e música barroca fazem as estátuas parecerem respirar.
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.
