Versailles is selling separate tickets to the Marie-Antoinette estate for $11.30 in addition to the general entrance fee of $10.
One highlight of the new Versailles ticket is entrance to a small but luxurious theater that the drama-loving queen had built. It has been open to visitors only sporadically.
Another feature is the English Garden, newly restored after the storms that devastated Versailles and much of Europe in December 1999. The Petit Trianon, a mini-chateau that Louis XVI offered Marie-Antoinette as a wedding present, is also part of the tour for the next few months, before the building closes in November for a renovation expected to last about two years.
