Little by little the opening of spaces has occurred in Europe after the coronavirus pandemic
The Palace of Versailles reopened its doors to visitors this Saturday, after more than two and a half months of closure due to the coronavirus crisis , with the presence of the French Minister of Culture, Franck Riester.
In its Twitter account, the Palace of Versailles stressed that its teams "have carefully prepared" the reception of those who want to visit its rooms and gardens, with conditions that have been adapted "to guarantee the safety of all."
In practice, its different spaces are accessible again at their normal hours, but now it is mandatory to wear a mask for those over 11 years old.

Only part of the restaurants and cafes in the complex are in operation and can only serve food and drink to go. In addition, both things can only be consumed in the gardens and in the park.
To avoid visitor flows, different entrances and exits have been established for the museum of the Palace of Versailles itself and also for that of Trianon.
The Minister of Culture showed on his Twitter account images of his passage through some of the most iconic spaces, such as the Hall of Mirrors, accompanied by the president of the institution, Catherine Pégard.
The Versailles complex, which became the main court residence during the reign of Louis XIV at the end of the 17th century, receives around eight million visitors each year, mostly foreigners.
France has announced the opening of its borders with the countries of the Schengen area as of June 15. Paris would like tourists from other continents to also arrive from July 1, but that depends on the agreement between the countries of the European Union.
