Measure the outside of the bag, including handles, wheels and pockets. Security staff have the final word — this is a quick check, not a guarantee.
Can you bring a bag or backpack inside?
Small bags allowed; bags over 55x35x20 cm not admitted and must go to free left luggage. Maximum item size: Bulky luggage/bags exceeding 55 x 35 x 20 cm are not admitted (Vigipirate security plan); large bags and suitcases prohibited..
Suitcases & large luggage
Large bags and suitcases are prohibited under the anti-terrorist (Vigipirate) security plan.
Lockers, cloakroom & luggage storage
No traditional cloakroom; free left-luggage lockers in the North Ministers' Wing for luggage smaller than cabin size (locker dimensions 30x49x50 cm, height x width x depth). Items must be collected before 4:45pm (low season) / 5:45pm (high season).
Anything over the size limit has to be stored. On-site storage can fill up at peak times, so a nearby luggage storage is a useful backup.
Find luggage storage in Versailles →"Allowed inside" vs "storage available"
Allowed inside means you can carry the item with you through the galleries or the site. Storage available means it isn't allowed with you, but you can leave it in a locker or cloakroom and collect it on the way out. A venue can offer storage and still refuse oversized suitcases entirely — so a large suitcase may be neither allowed inside nor accepted for storage. When in doubt, travel light or store luggage off-site before you arrive.
Practical tips
- Check your bag against the published size limit (Bulky luggage/bags exceeding 55 x 35 x 20 cm are not admitted (Vigipirate security plan); large bags and suitcases prohibited.) before you go.
- Free lockers can fill up at busy times — have a backup plan.
- Rules and security checks change — always confirm on the official site before your visit.
