Questions on Versailles
 
We're going to Versailles in early May on a Thurs and have some questions. Would much appreciate input please.
1. Does the Paris Musuem Pass include Queen's Hamlet? I know it does include Trianons but not sure if that is considered part of that? Also, it was noted that a "Guided tour" is required to view inside Queen’s House. Are they referring to Queen’s Hamlet or Petit Trianon? I'm thinking the later.
2. Do I need to buy the musical and fountain garden tickets since that is not included? Given we will be there on a Thurs and in early May, it appears this only runs on weekends and not open til later May? Their site has conflicting info on this and is confusing.
Thanks.

Update: I confirmed Musical Gardens and Musical Fountains Garden shows are weekends only. Can I still access the gardens to walk around in (without these shows) as part of my Paris Museum Pass or do I still need an extra "garden" ticket? I was thinking the extra garden tickets were just for those shows. Is that correct?
Thanks!

Your Paris Museum Pass will get you entry to the chateau and the grounds. The Queen's Hamlet does not require a separate ticket, but it does require some trudging to reach..

Each time I have seen le Hameau it was without restriction once I had paid the generally entry fee for the Chateau and its grounds. I am not aware that it is anything but outdoor viewing.

Thank you for confirming this info for me. I had read that it's quite the walk from main palace to Trianons so we may plan to rent a golf cart or pay to use the tram. Can't wait to see it all! Have a nice day everyone!
