Insider Tips

  • Use the Free Smartphone Audio Guide: QR codes throughout the palace unlock a free audio guide on your own phone; connecting to the on-site WiFi first avoids interruptions from a weak data signal.
  • Expect Bare, Unfurnished Rooms: Most of the palace's grand halls have no period furniture left, so the audio guide is what fills in the history room by room.
  • Consider the Combined Ticket: The ticket covering the palace, gardens and Pont d'Avignon costs only a little more than palace-only entry and adds two more sights to the same visit.
  • Dress for a Warm Building: The historic rooms aren't climate-controlled, so light clothing and water help on a hot day.
  • Check Signage Before Taking Photos: Personal photography is generally allowed, but a few rooms carry their own restrictions posted on site.

Rules:

  • No smoking or vaping inside.
  • Follow staff instructions and site signage.
  • No eating or drinking inside historic rooms.
  • Photography may be restricted in some rooms.
  • Children under 8 enter free.
  • Wear comfortable, non-slip footwear.
  • No specific dress code.
