About this tour
For the children — a quest through the palace halls and the gardens: tasks, hidden symbols and figures out of myth
For the parents — a cultural tour of Versailles with no boredom and no overload
For everyone — a walk through magnificent gardens with a few surprises.
From the first minutes the children become investigators: they have riddles of decoration to solve, symbols to study and the lives of kings to piece together.
We talk about Louis XIV and the rules of palace life, introduce the Roman gods, and show how the gardener Le Nôtre hid messages from the past in Versailles.
The gardens have a route of their own: we hunt for fountains, read the sculpture, and at the end a small prize waits for the most observant 🎁
What you will see
