Opening Hours and Getting to Versailles

Versailles sits southwest of central Paris, at Place d'Armes. The simplest way in is the RER C train to Versailles Chateau Rive Gauche, which leaves you about a 10-minute walk from the entrance. You can also take an SNCF train from Gare Montparnasse to Versailles Chantiers, or a bus from Pont de Sevres on Metro Line 9. The estate is one of the busiest sites in France, so arriving close to opening usually means shorter security and entry lines.

Each part of the estate keeps its own schedule. The Palace, which includes the Hall of Mirrors, is open 09:00 to 17:30 with last admission at 16:45, closed every Monday and on January 1, May 1, and December 25. The Estate of Trianon opens later, 12:00 to 17:30, closed on Mondays and the same holidays. The Gardens and Park run daily 08:00 to 18:00, weather permitting, though access to some groves can be limited in the low season. Plan on roughly three to four hours, more if you walk the full grounds out to the Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet.
