Make sure you buy TIMED tickets from the official website! Don t risk waiting hours in queue. That way you can skip the long queue and head straight to Entrance A as I did at 9:00am and was ushered into the palace soon after. As you can see in my photo, the queue is massive even at this time.

I would also suggest you download the free official app that includes an audio guide. It really does help in explaining the history and so you will appreciate the palace and french monarchy s history a lot more.
