Château Escapes: Private Day Trips from Paris

Paris is dazzling, but sometimes you need a change of scene. Just beyond the city lies a world of grandeur, history, and elegance—perfect for unforgettable château escapes. With a private guide, you don’t just see the palaces. You experience them.

First, let’s talk about Versailles. This royal masterpiece stuns with its Hall of Mirrors, sprawling gardens, and dramatic fountains. On a private tour, you skip the crowds and step straight into the world of kings and queens.

Next, there’s Château de Fontainebleau. Rich in history, this palace hosted monarchs for centuries. Its Renaissance details and lush forest surroundings make it a favorite for travelers who want a deeper story.
