Gorgeous and stunning. The whole palace is a work of art. Plan to spend a whole day here, especially if it is busy. Skip the lines by booking breakfast at Ore, the restaurant located in the palace. We walked straight into breakfast and waited only a minute after to get inside.

This writer opted for self guided tour; enabling to proceed as desired; good choice.

4/5 - Good

Bring your patience, because it will be extremely crowded even if you already have a ticket and are there at 9am. For a more peaceful experience don't miss Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet.
