Once inside, guests find themselves in a sprawling lobby that serves as a “hub” of sorts for the entire facility. Marble floors lead to each of the building’s features. Hues of gold, black, and purple adorn all surfaces from floor to ceiling.
From the ground floor, guests may choose to go immediately to the main attraction, head upstairs to visit a small cafe and book store, head to the gift shop, or visit the French Ministry of Culture’s tourism station, where official guides can connect visitors with other places of interest within the nation, including other museums and historic landmarks, and of course, the most visited place in all of Europe, Disneyland Paris.
The queue itself begins as a rather open atrium of sorts. A tile mosaic along the left wall leads guests down two short walkways and into the holding area. The walkways are dimly lit, while large relief sculptures and heavily detailed busts of French dignitaries and rulers from not just the across the nation’s entire history are brightly illuminated, glowing radiantly and showing off every last detail of artistry that went into them. Even Marie Antoinette is immortalized here.
Along the right wall are a series of 48” screens that run a continual loop of photographs, illustrations, works of art, and short videos offering supplemental facts about the Palace that may not otherwise be acknowledged.
