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
- Bring a bag within 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.) so you aren't turned away at security.
- On-site lockers are free, but they can fill up at busy times — have a backup plan.
- Rules and security checks change — always confirm on the official site before your visit.
