Where to park in the Palace of Versailles?
Visitors find several options when considering where to park in the Palace of Versailles to access the chateau and gardens:
Place d’Armes parking
The Place d’Armes serves as the primary Versailles Palace parking area, situated directly in front of the main castle gates. This outdoor lot accommodates cars and motorcycles throughout the week for a fee based on the duration of the stay.
Drivers enter through the main access roads and follow signs toward the palace entrance. Because of its proximity to the Royal Gate, this location often reaches capacity during peak morning hours. Security personnel monitor the site, and automated machines handle payments via credit card or cash before visitors exit the premises.
