The turnkey stay
Extend the magic of the Opéra Royal by staying just steps from the Château's gates. Between a palace nestled within the very Estate of Versailles and the Belle Époque elegance of the Trianon Palace, your stay embraces the French art of living: a Michelin-starred dinner, a Guerlain spa and an early-morning boat outing on the Grand Canal. Two days suspended in the world of the Sun King, from the gala to the last shimmer of the grounds.
