Gold-covered ceilings rise above secret passageways and royal whispers at Versailles. Behind every glittering chandelier and echoing hall, the ghosts of ambition, betrayal, and revolution wait to be uncovered.

This self-guided audio tour leads you through Château’s grandest icons and its most overlooked nooks. Move at your own pace and uncover the stories beyond the crowds: the hidden meanings, the almost-lost scandals, the drama most visitors never notice.

Why did a forbidden concert at the Royal Opera almost shake the palace’s foundations? What shadows linger behind the altar of the Royal Chapel? Which royal secret hides in plain sight amid the gardens’ perfect symmetry?

Wander from the gold-draped halls of the Palace of Versailles to the quiet corridors where history pivoted, hearts broke, and destinies changed. Every turn brings a new revelation.

Ready to unmask the real Versailles? Press play and step inside the legend.
