But… there’s a better idea..
Some people dream of experiencing royal life—if only for a day. At Descartes Travel, we’ve found a place where that dream can come true.
LE GRAND CONTRÔLE, a hotel located within the very grounds of the Palace of Versailles, offers guests the chance to step into the everyday world of royalty and truly immerse themselves in the spirit of Versailles.
Private, after-hours palace tours, horseback rides through royal grounds, exquisite dinners in historically accurate 18th-century attire, and a host of other refined experiences are woven together with a rich cultural program.
Every moment is steeped in elegant ceremony—you may even want to brush up on your curtsies and courtly bows. If you've ever been fascinated by the life of the French nobility and longed to feel like a king or queen of France, LE GRAND CONTRÔLE is exactly what you've been looking for.
