Full description
Starting with the Grand Trianon you can discover the estate of Marie Antoinette. As you explore the Grand Trianon that constituted Louis XIV’s second residence, imagine him escaping the protocols of the court here. Constructed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart in 1687, this 'little palace of pink marble and porphyry with delightful gardens' was inspired by Italian architecture and you can picture the refuge it once gave the royals. Discover the lavish furniture displayed in the rooms which dates from the First Empire and testifies to Napoleon's many periods of residence at the Grand Trianon, with his wife the Empress Marie-Louise. Wander through the Petit Trianon and its park which are inextricably linked to the memory of Queen Marie-Antoinette. In her Trianon Estate, given to her by Louis XVI, she found a haven of intimacy that enabled her to escape court etiquette.

huge terrain - great experience

The large and small trianon are beautiful and very similar to the Palace of Versaillles. The grounds / gardens / village etc. are huge. At 12pm is admission and I spent the whole day there until evening. Everywhere there are still small buildings hidden, such as a salon, a theater, the village with many small houses and a farm. There are small paths everywhere to explore. Trees over 300 years old are also beautiful. You should definitely plan the whole day from 12 p.m.

These tickets are highly recommended!

If you want to visit the castle, you should definitely buy tickets with entry through a registered group! Buying admission tickets is not enough here. Behind the cash register, people are standing on the entire forecourt and it takes about 3 hours from there to get into the castle. At the group entrance, all groups are booked with the time and it is relatively quick. If you are in the castle you immediately get your audio guide and can visit the castle. Tickets including the gardens are highly recommended, as there is a long queue at the ticket office for the gardens. Since the castle's audio guide is not very informative, I would book skip-the-line, gardens and guided tours next time.
