2027 Versailles tours for Women 50+
12 women, 1 magical week. Life changing....
"For women who don't just visit France - they feel it"
Who:
We are Colleen and Anthony Sanchez - a husband and wife team from Orange County, California with a shared obssession with France. We believe that every woman deserves to experience the beauty and history of Versailles in a way that enriches her spirit. Our tours are thoughtfully designed for women over 50, allowing you to explore the stunning gardens and lavish palace interiors with like-minded companions. Imagine wandering through the Hall of Mirrors, sharing laughter and stories with your sisters or friends as you take in the magnificent surroundings. We prioritize personalized attention and a relaxed atmosphere, ensuring that you can savor every moment. Join us for an unforgettable escape where cultural enrichment and meaningful connections flourish.
Where:
Versailles. Just the word is enough to stop your breath.
But the Versailles we'll show you goes far beyond the palace gates. We'll take you to the rose-covered cottages of Marie Antoinette's secret Hamlet. Along the Grand Canal by boat at golden hour. Through Monet's impossibly beautiful garden at Giverny. And on a warm Saturday evening, to Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte - lit by 2,000 candles, with a picnic basket and a glass of wine in hand.
This is the France that most travelers never find. The quiet, extraordinary, soul-changing France that we have spent years getting to know.
It's yours. Come with us.
What:
One extraordinary week. Six nights at the Forbes 5-Star Waldorf Astora Versailles - Trianon Palace. Experiences so beautiful you'll spend the rest of your life talking about them.
Every morning begins with a lavash breakfast at Gordon Ramsay's La Veránda.
Everyday unfolds with intention - a guided visit to the Palace and Gardens of Versailles, a boat ride along the Grand Canal, a personal guided tour of Monet's home and gardens at Giverny, a bike ride through the royal gardens, and the crowning jewel - a candlelit evening at Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte with a picnic under the stars.
Twelve women. Maximum. Always.
Because the best experiences in life are never rushed, never crowded, and always deeply personal.
