Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Take a stroll around the Hotel de Soubis in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in le Marais. One more filming location is distinguished by its eye-catching architecture style and flashy column façade. The hotel in the name of the building shows a special type of town mansion with its own garden.

Stop 2

There is no better place for a queen to spend a night out than an opera house. This pompous Italian-style building is a great location to travel back in time. Although it was built in 1875 and Marie Antoinette didn’t really see the stunning building of the Charles Garnier, it served as a perfect backdrop for the movie. Recall the queen’s trip to Paris for a show and take your best pictures of the scenery.

Stop 3

Head off to the most famous royal residence near the French capital. The Palace was the home of the French Monarchy for more than a hundred years. Admire the grandeur of the majestic palace that was decorated by plenty of outstanding French artists, architects, and sculptors and which has become a perfect backdrop for the movie. The filmmakers were allowed to shoot in the very bedroom of Marie Antoinette, the hall of mirrors, and the private quarters of the palace. Delve deeper into the fabulous time while exploring the exhibitions and costumes inside the rooms, and stroll through the magnificent gardens while remembering the movie scenes.
The guide will show you the palace from outside.
Finish the tour here and take your time to explore it from inside on your own after the tour
