Drop me a line at zabie@me.com and I'll be glad to give you more details.

I have visited the chateau many times and am going back again in August. I have done all the tours through the official website, Marie Antoinette private apartments etc but i would love to see the mistressess apartments and the attics! I can't see any details on the chateau website for private tours of this nature?<br /><br />Many thanks in advance! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413874768769244000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-5253452836766532952014-11-13T22:15:35.387+01:002014-11-13T22:15:35.387+01:00Hi Carolyn,

They have small-ish group tours (up to 20) for the private quarters as well as 'Private' tours (such as the one we did) for individuals up to a party of 15... meaning that you can include whomever you want to come along, thus reducing the cost. We went with an American historian who's time period is 18th Century France... so she knew a lot about the time and asked engaging questions to our (bilingual) French tour guide. This made for a far more interesting visit. Either way, it's an amazing experience and worth every centime!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841301701690518002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-78392512216574470272014-10-20T07:11:01.915+02:002014-10-20T07:11:01.915+02:00This is exactly what my friend and I want/need for...This is exactly what my friend and I want/need for Versailles.
