Working in Versailles in historical tourism for 10 years, we realized that these places were very little known to visitors and were able to gradually refine this route. We want to shed light on the foundations of our republic to visitors.
Meeting place : under the statue of Louis XIV, 1 place d'Armes, in front of the Palace of Versailles.
