Do you need to buy Versailles tickets in advance?

It’s very good if you buy your ticket in advance. Anyway you can buy your “passport with timed entry” just before your time entrance if it is still available.

That’s what we did. We bought our ticket online and 20 minutes after we were inside the palace despite the line in the first picture.

In the picture below you can see the entrance you can use with you timed entry ticket.
