Palace of Versailles

Terribly designed

A lot info, but difficult to use when touring.

Buggy and hard to use. Biggest issue: Language Setting fails to initialize correctly App defaults to English language for me in settings, however All audio is French. (FIX) - change language to be different, say French, then change to English (desired language), it likely will load correct audio then. When you are in Palace, it was crazy frustrating to waste time debugging this. Staff at museum were mystified too. I would have preferred easy use app, relatively bug free.

When we went to Versailles in March, the line to get the headphones was long and we weren’t sure if it cost money so we skipped it and I found this app! It was way easier to navigate than I expected and gave incredible information that was pretty easy to follow. I’m someone who loves to read plaques when I go to museums. Well, Versailles doesn’t really have plaques so you kind of just have to guess about things. This app filled in so many details! There are even details about the grounds and La Trianon and Le Petite Trianon. The map was accurate and detailed. The only thing that got confusing was that it isn’t up-to-date on a couple areas that tourists are not allowed to go to right now.

The app doesn’t really provide a guided tour. There are a few rooms that appear in the app for audio guides, but nothing compared to the not-free audio guide. Essentially useless and rather clunky.

1 Do not forget those you left behind. 2 France’s TT’s (tourist traps) are renown for an assortment of gifts $10 or less sized well for your carryon valises. 3 They also made the guillotine more famous than any magician ever, Houdini included. 4 Inhalation of nicotine is now permitted via e-cigarette devices in almost every public space. 5 When elsewhere, use care. 6 This is France we are discussing. 7 refer to sentence 3.

I love this app!! Recommend if your traveling to Versailles to see what you want to see on your first or next visit!! 👍👍

L’application ne précise pas les endroits fermés à la visite (appartements des filles du roi, salles dans le grand trianon, salle du jeu de paume). Les commentaires audio sont pratiques et intéressants. Le plan manque de clarté.

Déçue de l’appli, la localisation n’est pas fiable et elle n’est pas à jour des ouvertures des salles ou du parc

De base, elle devrait être bien comme app, mais les descriptions manquent de références comme codes QR dans les salles ou au moins les nombres qui sont écrits pour les appareils payants au château. Les descriptions ne correspondent pas aux panneaux dans le château. Il n’y a pas de plan du château même avec des liens. On devrait pouvoir vite retrouver les billets dans l’app et pouvoir les mettre dans Apple Wallet. Il reste plein de travail à faire pour la rendre utilisable.
