Plan your session

Versailles is the ultimate setting for weddings and grand portraits: the golden gates, the Marble Courtyard, the fountains and the long perspectives of the gardens.

The palace is closed on Mondays, and professional shoots on the estate may need an authorization. Photographers who work there regularly know the rules and the best times.
