Departure by coach for a guided tour of the Palace of Versailles. A true monument of French history and heritage, the Palace of Versailles opens its doors for an exclusive visit that will reveal the site from a different perspective. During this tour, which allows you to discover the King’s private apartments, you will pass through the grand yet more intimate state apartments as well as the “dining rooms.” A true symbol of the close link between gastronomy and political life, the splendor of the Court at Versailles was, beyond a moment of conviviality, governed by strict rituals, embodied in particular by these dining rooms, which hosted everything from the most intimate suppers of Louis XIV to more formal receptions imposed by court etiquette. In these sumptuous settings, where the king’s private and public life intertwine, taking part in the Grand Couvert gradually became a privilege, a way to assert one’s position at Court. From refined dishes once created for the kings and queens of France to more contemporary official dinners hosting figures such as John F. Kennedy or Queen Elizabeth II, discover, through the lens of gastronomy, all the secrets of these breathtaking places.
Return on board.
