Royal & imperial Paris

Versailles, the Invalides and Napoleon's tomb.

Versailles and royal Paris, with a guide

The Palace of Versailles was the seat of the French court from Louis XIV until the Revolution, and Les Invalides keeps the tomb of Napoleon beneath its golden dome. Both are vast, and it is the stories of the kings, the courtiers and the emperor that bring them to life.

Skip the queues at Versailles with a certified guide through the Hall of Mirrors and the Royal Apartments, or book a private tour of Les Invalides and Napoleon's tomb with your own guide.
