A world away from the hustle and bustle of Paris, Versailles offers a rich setting that’s conducive to relaxation, calm and inspiration for your events.
Easy to get to and very well served by public transport, whether from central Paris with the RER C, from Montparnasse with the N rail line, from Saint-Lazare with the L line, or from La Défense with the U line. Wherever you are, it’s easy to get to Versailles. Not to mention the forthcoming introduction of new transport infrastructure: electric mobility, new bus lines, Tram 13, and line 18 of the Grand Paris Express, which will link Orly airport to Versailles Chantiers station in 30 minutes, etc. Everything is done to make access and travel easier, with the aim of a calm, environmentally friendly traffic flow.
“Versailles, ville-nature” (Versailles, a nature-friendly city) is the urban planning policy motto: a direct statement of the priority given to care for the environment, as demonstrated by the 90 km of cycling facilities, the 2 ha of agricultural areas, the 103.6 ha of green spaces, the 2,300 m2 of flowers, and the 16 gardens created or renovated since 2014. Numerous initiatives for sustainable and responsible management of green spaces have earned the city several awards since 2009.
The richness of Versailles is – obviously – also expressed through its exceptional architectural and cultural heritage, generating numerous events, activities and team building activities throughout the cultural seasons. There is something to suit all tastes and ages. Versailles is a mix of tradition – for example, the king’s vegetable garden, the Cour des Senteurs (Scent Courtyard) and visits to the royal stables – and modernity, including street art, Segway tours, and pastoral discoveries, displaying a remarkable diversity and modernity. Each event can be combined with one of these experiences, emphasising your message while adding a playful touch.
When you choose Versailles as a destination for your events, you give your guests a chance to step out of time. A mix of tradition and modernity – just like the magnificent town itself – Versailles Palais des Congrès can help you organise your events: meetings, conventions, seminars, conferences, trade fairs and cultural events.
This haven of peace is an invitation to calm and serenity, immersing you in positive energy favourable to individual and collective fulfilment.
