Confused about booking Versailles breakfast and admission

Posted by on

I am having difficulty nailing if I've found the right link to what I hear is a breakfast and chateau admission package at Versailles.
This is the link.
https://en.chateauversailles.fr/plan-your-visit/facilities/ore#practical-information

This was not on the chateau's Tickets listing. No idea how I found this. There are a couple of other "Book" pages to click and they look pretty sus (to borrow my teenagers' speak).

The package I'm hearing about includes the following:
* Breakfast (supposedly fancy)
* Admission to Versailles through "private door" afterward, thus avoiding lines.

An additional reason I'm unsure is that there appear to be some third party offerors of same at a somewhat higher price. Are they just marking up the palace package?

Example: This is through Viatour but it doesn't appear to include a tour guide.

Is the first link the right one?

Thank you!

Your first link is indeed a legit link to the palace. I can't speak to the breakfast, but this is the site we used to book our time slot with the Paris museum pass.

I will add that it was not the most intuitive to use as a passholder. Sus is apt, however most of the words I used when booking contained four letters, not three.

If something is "sus" then it is suspect (suspiciously questionable). : )

Thank you for the reply and information. I'll give it (the first link) a go!

Nigel/Kim,

Suss is used in American English as well, sus is slang.

My attempt at humor. The term "four letter words" is used colloquially to mean obscenities, as in, I was cursing the user experience of the website.

Sus/suss must be a west coast thing, never heard it used here in NY.
And yes, the first link is to the Palace. When I was booking our tickets last year I don’t remember seeing dinner being offered as it is something I would have done. Definitely could be an experience. The prices seem very reasonable.

Breakfast (or/and lunch) included in the offer taking place in the "Ore" restaurant in the Chateau de Versailles, one of the restaurants managed by Alain Ducasse, the most starred chef in the world (20 Michelin stars in 35 restaurants), let's hope that, even if he probably don't go there often, the croissants will be homemade :-))
