5 Tips For Having the Palace of Versailles All to Yourself

Visiting Versailles on weekends, holidays, and during the peak travel season can only lead to one thing: swarms of tourists wanting to explore as much of this palace as you. Therefore, do your best to avoid the pushes, shoves, and frayed tempers that can emerge from a big crowd by planning your visit on a weekday.

Just be sure not to come to Versailles on a Monday. If so, you will be the only one around, but you won't get past the shining golden gates . . . as the palace will be closed!
