Locating The Palace of Versailles Entrances
Ticket Offices
Once you enter the Versailles complex from the Gate of Honour, you enter the Court of Honor. Here, you will find the ticket offices for both standard entry tickets and guided tours of the palace.
Facing the palace while standing in the courtyard, standard admission ticket office can be found in the left wing while guided tour ticket offices are in the right wing.
Main Entrance
The Gate of Honour (Grille d'honneur) marks the entrance to the Estate of Versailles. Restored in 2008, more than 200 years after being torn down during the French Revolution, the golden gate is a replica of the original 80m iron and gold leaf gate.
Intricate and beautiful like the palace it guards, the gate is covered with over 100,000 gold leaves that have been crafted into the shapes of fleur de lys, masks of Apollo, crowns and the crossed capital Ls referencing the Sun King.
