I'm totally confused by the Versailles website. I've purchased the Paris Museum Pass, but can't figure out how to use it to purchase Versailles tickets online. I see other posts that call out that the gardens are not included with the PMP, so what entry option do I purchase online? Is there a way to add in garden access and pay for it online in the same transaction? Or can I add that upon arrival? Thanks!

You book a free ticket to reserve your time slot; you present it with your PMP. You can also book the gardens separately or you can buy a ticket to the gardens when you arrive.

Oh, I know this one, and if you do a search in this forum, you'll see many other posts about how confusing that website is. Here's what I found in booking my free time slot with the PMP:
- Free time slot for the Palace="Palace Ticket"
- Another for the Trianon (noon, when it opens, though I don't think that's actually timed-entry, it's just an admission ticket)="Estate of Trianon"
Do those here: https://billetterie.chateauversailles.fr/index-css5-chateauversailles-lgen-pg1.html
Although they end up in the same cart (you have to create an account), you have to add them in separately. Check out from that one.
Then, the gardens are totally different and a different account, and we haven't done that yet:

It does appear that you can buy those onsite, though presumably will have to wait in line to do so.

Help? The Trianon free timed tickets I put in my cart did not prompt me for specific names for each person in my party, so when I checked out with my account logged-in, it made all four tickets with my name on all them.
We have 2 adults with Paris Museum Pass, and 2 children.
Is that a problem if all 4 of the tickets for Trianon have my name -- how can I change that if needed? I tried to book new Trianon free tickets for the other adult and 2 children but it was again not asking for their names at checkout....
Anyone have this experience? I know for the Palace free timed tickets (w/ PMP) it asked for names when I checked out.
Then I did the Trianon after that as a separate transaction, but did not get a prompt for other names. Weird?!?
Please advise? Thanks!
