Let the app guide you…
Using the app’s audio commentaries, discover the routes that are open to visitors, the most prestigious areas of the Palace, as well as the least explored corners of the grounds. There are audio, text and video bonuses for extra information.
You can add ‘favorites’ which help you return to the places you have selected.

Explore without getting lost …
Thanks to the interactive map, it’s easy to find services (Wi-Fi, toilets, restaurants, etc.) and places of interest in the Palace, the Gardens of Versailles (the Groves, the Orangery, Latona Fountain…), the Trianon Estate (Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, the Queen’s Hamlet...) and the Park (the Grand Canal, the Royal Star...).

Using geolocation you can quickly see which services and places of interest are close by.

Planning your visit
Opening times, transport, advice, FAQ, etc. The app gives you the information you need to make the most of your visit and choose the best day to come, depending on the crowds and the programme of events.
The app offers direct access to the Palace ticketing service and to the Palace e-boutique.

Ratings and reviews

Need to improve the user experience and make bug fixes. Some of the audio guide codes displayed don't pull up anything in the app. Several audio guide numbers are out of order or in the wrong spot on the map. There are two "map" views, one doesn't show your current location. Maps are misleading, as there are several paths outside that are blocked off, and entrance /exits are not marked. Need more info suggesting where you start and the order to explore various parts

Prepare before you get there. Download all the guides (pops up as an option when you install the app). You can then use it without using your data. App itself isn't overly user friendly. Don't bother clicking 'Start tour', it gives you a screen with no info that goes no further. Instead, click 'Map', check the number next to the info board in each room, search for the number, then click the audio guide the app shows. Some guides are missing, but pretty good overall.

Definitely download all the routes while your still have wifi in town. Not very user friendly. Interactive map was useless. Was great, however, to be able to play the audio guide at will... Once we figured out where we were.

What's new

Important update! Timetable for the Sculptures Gallery and the Estate of Marly added. Now possible to switch from one audio tour to another by typing in any station number of the audio guide. Fixed an anomaly that prevented audio tour screens from being displayed.
