Uncover the Queen's secret farewells to her cherished places, before the fall.
📱 1 to 10 phones · 1 team per phone · Independent codes
Step into the intimacy of a condemned queen, tracing her final thoughts in Versailles.
Delve into Marie-Antoinette's private world in Versailles, tracing her final emotions before the 1789 French Revolution.
Step into the shoes of a devoted lady-in-waiting, tasked by Marie-Antoinette to retrieve a precious memento, a symbolic rose, lost in the Gardens of Versailles before her forced departure. Your mission begins on the Place d'Armes, in front of the Château de Versailles, built between 1678 and 1683 under Louis XIV. At each stage of this romantic journey, open your phone: augmented reality clues appear on the flowerbeds, the neoclassical facades of the Petit Trianon, and the historic ponds. An ethereal silhouette of Queen Marie-Antoinette whispers confidences, a virtual bouquet of roses appears on the Encelade Fountain, and letter excerpts write themselves on the pathways of the Hamlet. Over approximately 135 minutes of walking along a 1.5 km route, no car needed, you trace your own itinerary through the history of Versailles and Île-de-France, that of a queen and her last hours of freedom. More than an outdoor escape game: an interactive visit immersed in 200 years of history, with anecdotes revealed at each stop and confidential sites that classic guides often miss.

The story that haunts this land
Your quest for the rose begins on the Place d'Armes in Versailles, an esplanade 240 m long and 200 m wide, built between 1678 and 1683. Here, major military ceremonies and royal receptions, such as the reception of Emperor Joseph II in 1777, marked Versailles' history. The equestrian statue of Louis XIV, destroyed in 1792 and replaced in 1828, reminds you of the weight of the past and the fragility of symbols. This Monument historique, classified in 1862, is the starting point for an immersion into the heritage of Île-de-France, where every step brings you closer to the secrets of the court.
You then head towards the Latona Parterre, laid out between 1678 and 1681 by André Le Nôtre in the Gardens of Versailles. Spanning 80 m, its basins and sculptures illustrate the myth of Latona, with 14 water jets reaching 6 m high. Restored in 2015-2016 to regain its 1680s colors, this site, classified UNESCO in 1979, is a testament to Louis XIV's grandeur. It is here that Marie-Antoinette might have walked, seeking a moment of respite from the opulence of the Château de Versailles, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1979.
Your journey leads you to the Queen's Hamlet, built between 1783 and 1788 for Marie-Antoinette. This rustic ensemble of 6 buildings spread over 10 ha, inspired by Norman hamlets with a functional mill, was her rural retreat until 1789. It is classified as a Monument historique in 1862. Nearby, the Petit Trianon, built between 1762 and 1768 by Ange-Jacques Gabriel and given to Marie-Antoinette in 1774, is a neoclassical edifice of 260 m² where she spent her last years before the Revolution. These sites, classified UNESCO in 1979, embody her desire for escape and simplicity, far from the etiquette of Versailles.
Continuing your search, you arrive at the Encelade Fountain, completed in 1677 by Jean-Baptiste Tuby. Its 30 m diameter basins and central jet reaching 28 m high (restored in 2007) depict the giant Enceladus buried under rocks. It is an essential part of the hydraulic system of the Gardens of Versailles, featuring 50 main fountains, and a UNESCO 1979 site. This symbol of royal power and mythology illustrates the rich heritage of Île-de-France. Every drop of water seems to whisper fragments of Versailles' history.
Your quest concludes at the Orangerie, built between 1684 and 1686 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, housing 1,200 citrus trees in winter. 156 m long with Les Cent-Marches, it was restored after a 1686 flood and classified as a Monument historique in 1906. Here, you find the rose, a symbol of Marie-Antoinette's hopes and regrets. The Château de Versailles, royal residence until 1789 and site of the Treaty of Versailles signing on June 28, 1919, is ever-present. This visit to Versailles is not just a GPS treasure hunt, but an immersive exploration of French history, a walk at the heart of the monarchy, where the past of Marie-Antoinette, Louis XIV, and Louis XVI comes alive through augmented reality. You leave with a deep understanding of Versailles' history with family, a memory of the soul of Île-de-France.
