Frequently Asked Questions

No — the pass grants access to the Musical Gardens or fountain shows on operational days, but does not include the Grandes Eaux Nocturnes or some ticketed night events.

The Trianon estate opens from around 12:00; plan to visit the main palace and gardens first since timings vary and the Trianon is accessible later in the day.

This is a priority-entry ticket, but palace entry timing can still vary by 2–3 hours on busy days, and short waits (around 30 minutes) are possible even with priority access.
