Palace of Versailles

Highlight • Castle

Residence of the kings of France, the Château de Versailles is one of the most illustrious monuments of French heritage. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it was built under the leadership of the Sun King who called on the best architects of his time to design buildings as imposing as they were spectacular. Find all the information to visit it here: parisjetaime.com/billets/chateau-de-versailles-et-domaine-de-trianon-visite-libre-m9000608.

During the 2024 Paris Games, modern pentathlon and cross-country events are held here. A career set up at the Royal Star level hosts eventing events, and show jumping and dressage competitions.

Grand Canal

Highlight • River

The tour around the Grand Canal allows you to follow its contours closely, with beautiful views of the Park and the Château. But it is also often very busy with many pedestrians, watch out for collision risks. A good alternative is to take the roads connecting the 4 extremities (a bit of geometry: the shape of the Grand Canal forms a cross, these are the diagonals of the rhombus to be drawn by connecting the vertices). It is much less crowded, and you will find the Grand Canal at each extremity.
