Using the app’s audio commentaries, discover the routes that are open to visitors, the most prestigious areas of the Palace, as well as the least explored corners of the grounds. There are audio, text and video bonuses for extra information.
You can add ‘favorites’ which help you return to the places you have selected.

Explore without getting lost …
Thanks to the interactive map, it’s easy to find services (Wi-Fi, toilets, restaurants, etc.) and places of interest in the Palace, the Gardens of Versailles (the Groves, the Orangery, Latona Fountain…), the Trianon Estate (Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, the Queen’s Hamlet...) and the Park (the Grand Canal, the Royal Star...).

Using geolocation you can quickly see which services and places of interest are close by.

Ratings and reviews

The app doesn't really work, none of the audio tours get past ~20-30 seconds, the voice cuts out mid word. The app easily gets glitched and stuck in one particular audio tour, even when you click out it still goes back and resumes/plays the first audio tour that you clicked on when you started the app. When you try to download more audio tours their download progress freezes up and never fully downloads. Not worth downloading, just use their machines, this app is terrible

I installed the app, downloaded all audio guides in advance of my visit and played a few minutes of a couple of audio guides to ensure they worked well. Once at Versailles, I opened the app, and it showed 'no audio guides downloaded'. Total waste of time!

I found this app a bit glitchy. Firstly, the app appears to start the tour in an entrance which doesn't allow access. I assume it was changed after the app was created. You then spend a few minutes scrolling through the app trying to match up the rooms with where the tour actually begins. Also, I found that the audio doesn't always play, necessitating closing the app and clicking on the room again. The GPS feature didn't work at all, which would have made finding rooms so much easier.
