PALACE of VERSAILLES | The Best Time to Avoid the Crowds & Chateau Tour | PARIS LOVE

- Join us for a a day of opulence and magic! When is the best time of year to go to Versailles to avoid the crowds? We're taking you for a special tour, including a private tour of the King's Apartments!
The Palace of Versailles (Château de Versailles) is a former royal residence built by King Louis XIV located in Versailles, about 12 miles (19 km) west of Paris, France. About 15,000,000 people visit the palace, park, or gardens of Versailles every year, making it one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.
Louis XIII built a simple hunting lodge on the site of the Palace of Versailles in 1623. With his passing came Louis XIV who expanded the château into the beginnings of a palace that went through several changes and phases from 1661 to 1715. It was a favorite residence for both kings, and in 1682, Louis XIV moved the seat of his court and government to Versailles, making the palace the de facto capital of France. This state of affairs was continued by Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI, who primarily made interior alterations to the palace, but in 1789 the royal family and capital of France returned to Paris. For the rest of the French Revolution, the Palace of Versailles was largely abandoned and emptied of its contents, and the population of the surrounding city plummeted.
Napoleon I, following his coronation, used Versailles as a summer residence from 1810 to 1814, but did not restore it. Following the Bourbon Restoration, when the king was returned to the throne, he resided in Paris and it was not until the 1830s that meaningful repairs were made to the palace. A museum of French history was installed within it, replacing the apartments of the southern wing.
The palace and park were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979 for its importance as the center of power, art, and science in France during the 17th and 18th centuries. The French Ministry of Culture has placed the palace, its gardens, and some of its subsidiary structures on its list of culturally significant monuments.

Le château de Versailles est une ancienne résidence royale construite par le roi Louis XIV, située à Versailles, à 19 km à l'ouest de Paris, en France. Environ 15 millions de personnes visitent le château, le parc ou les jardins de Versailles chaque année, ce qui en fait l'une des attractions touristiques les plus populaires au monde.
Louis XIII a construit un simple pavillon de chasse sur le site du château de Versailles en 1623. Après son décès, Louis XIV a agrandi le château pour en faire le début d'un palais qui a connu plusieurs changements et phases entre 1661 et 1715. C'était la résidence préférée des deux rois et, en 1682, Louis XIV a transféré le siège de sa cour et de son gouvernement à Versailles, faisant du château la capitale de facto de la France. Les rois Louis XV et Louis XVI ont poursuivi cet état de choses, en apportant principalement des modifications intérieures au palais, mais en 1789, la famille royale et la capitale de la France sont revenues à Paris. Pendant le reste de la Révolution française, le château de Versailles est largement abandonné et vidé de son contenu, et la population de la ville environnante s'effondre.
Napoléon Ier, après son couronnement, a utilisé Versailles comme résidence d'été de 1810 à 1814, mais ne l'a pas restauré. Après la Restauration des Bourbons, lorsque le roi est revenu sur le trône, il a résidé à Paris et ce n'est que dans les années 1830 que des réparations significatives ont été effectuées au palais. Un musée d'histoire de France y fut installé, remplaçant les appartements de l'aile sud.
Le palais et le parc ont été classés au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1979 pour leur importance en tant que centre du pouvoir, de l'art et de la science en France aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Le ministère français de la Culture a inscrit le palais, ses jardins et certaines de ses structures annexes sur sa liste des monuments d'importance culturelle.

Well ladies, you just made my Sunday. There are "NO" words to describe that beautiful Palace. The interior, the exterior, the gift shop was a delight. This is one place everyone must see, but if you can't, Vivenne and Ashley, bringing us along is (almost) like being there, the next best thing. Thank you again for sharing. Love from N.Y.
Thank you so much, Joni! So happy you could join us. 🥰🏰💖
Your photography in this video is was excellent. Seeing the close ups was amazing. Thank you.
The music you chose made the tour of Versailles extra special. Thanks Vivienne!
Oh how splendorous, magnificent, dazzling, resplendent, and well....delicious eye candy!
Filmed with great fluidity and the most perfect sound track , allowing the beautiful images to speak for themselves instead of drowning them with words. Very stylish.
💖🏰💖
I squandered my once in a life-time trip to Versailles. It was May and unseasonably hot. It seemed like the whole world was there, but the bus driver said "This was nothing!" It was just all too much! There was no air moving, even in the jardins. We went up to the village of Versailles, itself, and found a lovely café with a terrace -- and a breeze! We sipped our cool drinks and waited until we saw people heading back towards the bus. It was my first "real" vacation, at age 41 and not by any means my only "mistake." But I don't regret it, with vloggers like you to show me what I missed! 🙂
You had an experience and enjoyed the French lifestyle!
Thank you so much for this treat of a video. I loved how Vivienne focused on the art, textiles, details all close ups, is how I'd view the rooms myself, so thank you for those details, and sister Ashley is just as fabulous. Merci !
Thanks for supporting and viewing Frances national treasures
Vivienne & Ashley OMG I have never in my lifetime seen such beauty and gold, paintings, statues, etc. Can you say too much 💰? Could never in my lifetime even afford to do a small room like those rooms. Wow wow wow!
Yes more please. Cheese of the week?
Spectacular! Vivienne, your vlogs are exquisite, informative, entertaining and a delight. Seeing you in better health is wonderful. You and your sister have been so much fun to watch. 💕🗼🇫🇷⛲🏰
Bonjour Amore amore Vivienne and Ashley Versailles my heart skipped a beat I was transfixed throughout such grandeur the magnificence of all the rooms truely in the presence of a wonder of the world💖👌Two loving sisters sharing the tour through The Queens bedroom the opulence mirrors statues paintings King Louis dressed as a King should I’m just riveted😍😍And then the gift shop the jewellery not a safe place for me oooh love that necklace those earrings and the trainers honey where are you 😀Merci besucoup I just loved spending time with you Vivienne and Ashley my day is complete Enchante😮
Thank you, sweet Brenda! 💖💖💖🥰🏰💖
@@ChateauLove always a pleasure when I see your video I’m just elated Amore💖💖😘😘👌👌🌟
Versailles is spectacular! Years ago it was “April in Paris” for my French adventure. The weather was chilly but the crowds were immense, especially at Versailles! I would say the only disadvantage of a winter tour are the gardens and fountains. However, the interior shots are so much nicer without the throngs of people! I love how you could take your time and get so many detailed closeups! Thank you, thank you! I will be watching this video numerous times to stop and study the things I missed or don’t fully remember! 😍🤩😍
The coffered ceiling with carved rosettes was a favorite of mine and I have a closeup shot of one of the rosettes framed in my bedroom! Versailles is partly responsible for changing my decor aesthetic from contemporary to a more ornate European traditional! (Perhaps not as ornate as Versailles but an ornate gilded mirror here and there are my salutes to Versailles!) The craftsmanship is beyond words in every single square inch! I think I could force myself to live in all that splendor... if I absolutely had too! 😉😂🤣 Absolutely glorious!!! 😍🥰😍
And end up decapitated ?
So nice for you to be making memories with your sister, Vivienne, you two look wonderful!
Perfect foggy day...gives it the mystic look and feel....
What terrific filming Vivienne! The opulence of it all is mind blowing but It’s the most beautiful place I have ever seen thanks to you (and Simon if he is editing your wonderful footage?) Thank you so much for taking us along with you and Ashley, how lovely for you two sisters to enjoy these precious sister times together. ❤️🙏🏻
So pleased to see you in the pink, Vivienne. That flocked velvet fabric on the walls in the enfilade doesn't really belong there. It was put there in the 19th century, and later in the 20th century by curator Gerald van der Kemp. It's being removed, room by room, as the walls are restored. Versailles cannot be seen in one day, as you found out. It takes at least 3 visits to see it all. They are restoring apartments constantly, so it's always fun to see the completion of the latest project.
Beautiful visual coverage of this glorious palace plus you chose the perfect elegant music! Bravo!
Thank you for taking us on a grand tour of Versailles, it's stunning,oh to be there back in the day only if one could time travel.And with some of my favourite chateau people loved it thank you Vivian for sharing your video.x💕🌼🤗
The opulence of Versailles leaves me speechless! I will be visiting in the fall and I'm so looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing.
Now this is the perfect way to spend a Sunday, Versailles of course! Having recently traced my DNA back to the time of The French Revolution, your video has given me a Happy Heart ❤️🇫🇷❤️. Try and see the movie, “ A Little Chaos”, it is a delicious movie that takes you back in time when the out door gardens were being created at Versailles. Thank you again your video has made my Day! ❤️🇫🇷❤️
Thank you, Candy! I’ll definitely check out that movie. Ashley & I watched “Marie Antoinette” as soon as we got home! 🏰💖
I was there in September a few years ago, the magnificence of the Palace of Versailles will be forever etched in my mind the beauty, the hall of Mirrors over looking the formal gardens, the history, we had a private small group tour that was so worth the extra. Thank you for sharing and bringing back the vivid memories of our trip.
💖🏰💖
Vivienne, It's great to see you looking so well.
It's such fun for you to share this adventure with your sister and us.
Thanks 🤩
What an opulent palace. The artwork, gold, furniture are all magnificent. Can’t imagine how cold it must have been in the winter. You can see it reflected in the statues and art, where they are layered in clothes and cloaks/furs. Wallpapers were gorgeous and what a variety. The Hall of Mirrors….no words! Thank you for taking us along.
It was my pleasure, Kathy! Thank you for joining us! 🥰🏰💖
Thank you Vivienne and Chateau Family, I pray that the precious blood of Jesus continues to heal and give you strength. You bless the world with every step you take. God bless you and your family, thank you for sharing.
Thank you! 🥰🏰💖
Great episode’ You know how to film a tour!! Excellent! Great to see you out and about looking well and enjoying the opulent interiors of Versailles. I prefer the warmth and chic atmosphere of your chateau much more!❤
You are too kind! Thank you. 🥰🏰💖
So good to see you two enjoying yourselves in Versailles. Thank you for the beautiful tour and Ashley's musical accompaniment! x
Thank you, Linda! 🥰💖🏰
Bravo, Vivienne! That was wonderful. Your tour was so enjoyable.💋I'm watching it again. I can't believe that you love so many of the same things.❤️ OMG! The Wedgwood blue silk trim. Exquisite!
The fabric close-ups show how truly sumptuous they are. They're so lovely.
I would love to own any one of the white Sèvres porcelains.
That ebony and gilt Napoleon III cabinet is magnificent.
What fun!💃
It is Monday morning here in Oz and what a beautiful tour I've just been on. Many thanks to you and your sister for this. ☺️💕
Oh my heart I could feel it beating, it was a thrill to be back at Versailles. It is so stunning you cannot possibly take if all in. Great vlog as usual, I don't think I even hit the gift shop when I was there. I would have picked the pink Fleur Dr Lis also. Your filming is stellar. The music was perfectly coordinated with my emotions. Chateau Love and Vivienne you have us a great gift to watch over and over! Merci
Thank you so much for this kind message!🥰🏰💖
What a magnificent posting! Visiting France has been on my wish list for a few years now, and of course, Château de Versailles is a must to do while I'm there. Thanks Chateau Love for your high quality vlog, and I'm a regular viewer.
Absolutely fabulous cinematography and music to bring to us such stunning opulent beauty.! Really! Especially with both of you special sisters to guide us. ❤
💖🏰💖
A lovely tour. Totally unexpected - love Versailles, love the Hameau de la Reine as well. It's so vast. Your comments, the rooms, nice for the return ! A great day to share with a sister !
What a blessing to visit, but to visit with the V.I.P. treatment is an amazing blessing. Thank you for sharing your blessing with us. It's magnificent. ❤️💯
Very nice job editing and great choice of music. You and your sister have such a special relationship it's so lovely to see. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for sharing such a beautifully produced video. It's wonderful to see the results of the renovation work that has being going on at Versailles over the years. We were so thrilled we've booked a visit! Thanks as well for the tip on private apartment tours. Merci beaucoup Vivienne and Ashley
Absolutely beautiful Vivian! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
We will happily go on more tours with you! It is a snowy Sunday afternoon in Canada and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed revisiting Versailles through your eyes.
Thank you! Happy Sunday! 🏰💖
🇨🇦🇨🇦
Beautiful vlog Vivienne! I visited the Palace de Versailles in the 1960s. I bought a blue, white and gold coloured watch there, which I still have. On my second visit in the 1980s, I chose to visit the Grand Trianon, which Napolean decided to use as his Versailles location/ Le Petit Trianon (Marie Antoinette's private residence) and Le Hameau (Marie Antoinette's village, which she visited as a play area while dressed as a shepherdess).
I must say, never before have I felt so emotional watching a vlog. My late mother (who raised us by herself as my father passed when we were all young) finally got to travel in her later years. She loved Versailles. It was so nice to see you with your lovely sister. How did they build this amazing and opulent palace ? The details at every turn. The beauty, my goodness. Breathtaking. Even the gardens in winter were so lovely. Thank you , thank you. Getting up early ,leaving from Paris as the sun came up with your sister, what a wonderful time ! Love from LI, NY.
💖💖💖
Magnifique ! Merci de nous avoir emmenés avec vous.
Great tour ladies, I’ve been there before but it sure was nice not having sore feet this time!
Vivienne, you are the best, showing us lots of footage from all over Versailles AND the gift shop! Plus the cafe. I feel like I have had the whole experience, although I still want to go there. 7 trips to France and no Versailles. Boo hoo. Let me eat cake. LOL.
Yay...First to comment and I just love Versailles. Great episode.
Thank you, Michael!! 💖💖🏰🏰🥰🥰
The first time I went to Versailles was in January of 1980. We waited on the terrace in the back of the palace for a guide to unlock the door. My group of twenty-some people were the only people in the palace other than the guide. It was awesome! I've been back to see it twice since then; both were in the summer. The crowd was incredible! Go see it in the winter if you have the opportunity.
Amazing an awe inspiring. It also makes me understand why there was a French Revolution.
There were hundreds châteaux like that ( well smaller) before French Révolution.
You have created this magnificent vlog so beautifully. Thank you, thank you for taking us along. It was simply exquisite with amazing photography (just like a docu) and incredible music that emotionally filled my heart❤️ such beauty all around. We were there 23 years ago and so appreciate seeing it thru your eyes and all the magical details. 🥰🇨🇦
Thank you! 🥰🏰
Thanks for taking us along on your beautiful trip with Ashley. I was trying to see what inspirational room ideas you would snag to take home to your lovely Chateau. I love all the gold, but it's everywhere so after a while it becomes overwhelming. 2,300 rooms, yikes! Glad you have this on video, I have instant amnesia when I walk out of a museum or other tour so can't imagine trying to remember all that gorgeousness. It looks like a fun trip to have with your sister and check that one off your bucket list. Love from Texas
I saw those toile tennis shoes when I visited in September and wondered if you would show them. I loved them! Great cinematography!
Wow! What an exquisite castle. So much opulence and grandeur. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤
In Spring and Summer, you'll see the gardens in full bloom and the Grand and Petit Trianon (Marie Antoinette), gorgeous both!
Beautiful, i must see this place next time. Im in Paris. I was late last time and only the beautiful gardens
Oh my, thank you for bringing us along! I've been, but of course not your special tour, just the usual tour. Still, I think I would prefer your chateau then to live there. Bahahahahaha queue Stephanie with toile de Jouy running shoes!
The Place of Versailles is so magnificent..Had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful palace twice ..Splendid place with majestic friends ..Thanks for sharing and bringing back lovely memories…And Angelina’s ….❤
Thanks for bringing us along, exquisite not just the place but how you put the footage together. Loved Marie Antoinette's boudoir, the fabrics were lovely. Good to see you recovering.
Thank you, Joy! Doing so much better now. 🥰🏰💖
Absolutely magnificent. The rigs. The materials. You must be in opulence overload touring there. Lovely presentation.
Thank you, Emily! 🏰💖
Oooh, what a lovely tour, brings back a lot of memories! I went in early spring and the crowds were also pretty low and the gardens were still enjoyable even though not in bloom.
Vivienne, This is an absolute masterpiece! Bravo!
We were just there in February too, I am surprised we did not bumped into you. That palace is just gorgeous. Can’t wait to come back in a summer time to see gardens in all its glory.
Delightful tour, please come back in Spring so we can see the gardens. 🌷Thank you for visiting in the cold temps🌬️
Thank you so much for taking us along. I'm glad that you go slowly with the camera so we can really see everything very well.
Thanks for the tours Thanks for taking us back to the guilded age.A treat on a monumental scale.
Viviane thankyou for this beautiful video. The filming is superb and music matched exactly. Always enjoy your vlogs which are always so interesting. I think you picked the best time to visit as not many people around. It is 23yrs since I visited and that was end of summer and very crowded. What ever time Versailles is wonderfully unbelievable to see.🤩💥
Vivienne, your photography and editing skills along with your music selections made this vlog like most of yours an absolute delight! It's wonderful you are getting to spend so much time this winter with your talented sister enjoying the beauty, rich history and opulence of the French aristocracy. Greetings from the Pacific Northwest of USA! Thank you for sharing your interesting life on TH-cam!!
Beautiful music and video. So well done! Thank you.
Merci pour Versailles ⚜️💜⚜️
I bought the Baron Papillon low tops at that ver gift shop in September! So comfy and wear them ALL THE TIME!
So jealous! 🤩🏰💖
@@ChateauLove 🥰😁
Well that was sensational! Thank you for the incredible close “shots” so that details could be seen!! This really was amazing!
Absolutely wonderful tour! Thank you so very much!
It was our pleasure! 🥰🏰💖
Outstanding. Vivienne you did a great job. Perfect combination of video and commentary. The palace speaks for itself but your added dialogue was excellent!
When we went it was so crowded and dirty I was appalled. Seeing it with you has been a much better experience. The recoding I got didn’t work so I was blind because they wouldn’t replace it. All in all I had an awful experience. Thank you for this delightful tour! It somewhat made up for the bad experience I had.
Beautiful 😍, thank you ❣️ I went to Versailles in 1976, I was 20 and on a 2 month Eurail pass with college friends! Great memories 💟
It was nice to visit again in early spring with you. It is a beautiful time to come with no crowds as I also did many years ago.
such a superb vlog again, your filming and editing is faboulus and the choice of music just wonderful…thank you for giving us this tour of Versailles..a treat
OOOOOh Versailles, the decadence and beauty!!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous & well done capturing Versailles. Loved your music choice and so nice to see you and Ashley together. Beautiful all the way around.
Hi Vivienne and Ashley, the grandest of all palaces. The breathtaking beauty of Versailles and its spectacular craftsmanship is wondrous. Wish we could be there with you. Princess Dolly loved Marie Antoinette’s bedroom. She is very much like her. So happy you are feeling better. The filming of Versailles was perfection! Much love from us M&D ❤ ❤xoxo
Vivienne, what a wonderful job of capturing the incredible beauty of Versailles from your eyes, I have been there in the spring but not the winter too cold for me, what a wonderful vlog today.
Hi ivian & Simon, I'm in catch up mode with your channel. I went to Versailles in October 1989. I loved it then and I loved the tour I just watched. I'm hoping to get back to France & Versailles soon. Mark & Scott
So professionally filmed dear Vivienne!! I just didn't wanna vlog to finish...magnificent footages so detailed and beautiful...can't stop complimenting you 😄!!!
Yep that was definitely perfect timing to visit V....cold drab and gray weather just to ad some extra mysticism... 😁
Sometimes you wonder if these 👑 "people were people"...they came here to win...fight...conquer...thrive...survive...prosper....rise...
Big hug ⚘ and take care
I have no words!
Thank you for taking us along on this absolutely lovely journey, lovely ladies!
And I find myself waving at the table of friends! 😁 Looks like a great time! Thank you for sharing!
It is always good to see Versailles and of course our our you tube friends.
Thank you so much for a wonderful visit to Versailles. We are too old to go trekking but it opens the door.
It was our pleasure! 🏰💖
Thank you for taking us along , I hope you are feeling better Vivian God Bless you.
It's been 35 years since I was there and your tour brought back so many memories. The opulence and detail is breathtaking. I remember it being quite a workout to see all the grounds too. Thanks Vivienne!
Amazing visit - really experienced the vastness of Versailles - and its treasures - thank you for sharing from Australia.
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing this gorgeous look at one of my bucket lists trips!! Absolutely love all of your vlogs. Look forward to seeing each new one. Continue getting healthier, Vivian. 🤗
Vivian you out did yourself again😊Your filming was visually stunning, featuring gorgeous cinematography displaying the beautiful architecture, art and grounds of Versailles. It was nice to see your lovely sister once again and that you are spending more sister 💞 time together.
Love and rainbows from Vancouver Canada💝
Thank you for taking us along on this tour…. Magnifique
Love this video! I've been to Versailles both winter & summer, it's beautiful both seasons!
You both are lovely & beautful sisters.
I felt the very same as you ladies when we visited on our silver wedding day years ago in April. It was thrilling and its one of my memories .x
Thank you for taking on your tour. Amazing. I definitely would have bought the fluer de lis Christmas decorataion. 💜💜
I did! 😁🏰💖
Thankyou For Sharing wow wow Amazing No Words can express beautiful so beautiful so Big Thankyou For Sharing 🏰👌
Been there a few times, seen different rooms at different times. It’s beautiful
A true FEAST for the eyes!
Thank you for the tour
Wow another great vlog ! I have been there twice but one can only absorb so much artistry . Great so see you are feeling better. All the best.
So glad you were able to meet up with Stephanie, Phillip, Andrew and Ricardo. Not a fan of gilt, and nothing does more gilt than Versailles. That said, the levels of artistry and artisanship are superb. The workmanship that went into restoring Versailles is remarkable. Thank you for taking us along.
Oh my goodness, how beautiful. Thank you for sharing all this.
