The Grande Trianon was a stunning “little” house that is worth visiting while at the Palace of Versailles. You can walk there, rent a golf cart, rent a Segway, even run there if you choose. This place has a very homey feel, like you could picture yourself sitting there enjoying a book and some coffee. Well worth the visit.

The Grand Trianon is a French Baroque style château situated in Versailles castle area. It was built as a retreat for Louis XIV and his lover, the Marquise de Montespan. When there, Louis was way more relaxed with guests and strict court étiquette.

Palace, Trianon Palace, and the estate of Marie-Antoinette: open daily except Mondays and certain public holidays. Gardens and park: open daily.
The Palace and Gardens of Versailles cover an area of over 800 hectares. It would be beneficial to plan ahead if you want to visit the palace, the trianon palaces and enjoy some time in the gardens. I would recommend arriving early and getting the "skip the line" tickets as the queue can be a couple of hours long. The audio guide is very informative. We spent the entire day there and managed to cover the following areas: The main palace + The Private Apartments of the Kings - allocate about 2 hours Le Petit Trianon Some parts of Le Grand Trianon The Queen's Hamlet (recommended) Some parts of the garden (consider using the Little Train to save some time getting from the main palace to the Trianon Palaces) Walked through the Musical Gardens on the way back to the main palace And enjoyed the Musical Fountain Show before heading back to Paris Plan your lunch in advance as the restaurants and cafés can be rather crowded. A picnic in the park is a great way to enjoy the surroundings. Consider wearing comfortable shoes.
