Chteau de Versailles
If youve ever wondered why your American passport has French writing in it, youll find the answer at Versailles (vehr-sigh)every kings dream palace. The powerful court of Louis XIV at Versailles set the standard of culture for all of Europe, right up to modern times. Today, if youre planning to visit just one palace in all of Europe, make it Versailles.
Versailles offers three blockbuster sights. The main attraction is the palace itself, called the Chteau. Here you walk through dozens of lavish, chandeliered rooms once inhabited by Louis XIV and his successors. Next come the expansive Gardens behind the palace, a landscaped wonderland dotted with statues and fountains. Finally, at the far end of the Gardens, is the pastoral area called the Trianon Palaces and Domaine de Marie-Antoinette (a.k.a. Trianon/Domaine), designed for frolicking blue bloods and featuring several small palaces and Maries Hamletperfect for getting away from the mobs at the Chteau.
Visiting Versailles can seem daunting because of its size and hordes of visitors. But if you follow my tips, a trip here during even the busiest times is manageable.
By Train: The town of Versailles is 35 minutes southwest of Paris. Take the RER-C train (4/hour, 35 minutes one-way, 6.20 round-trip) from any of these Paris RER stops: Gare dAusterlitz, St. Michel, Muse dOrsay, Invalides, Pont de lAlma, or Champ de Mars. You can buy your train ticket at any Mtro ticket window in Parisfor no extra cost it will include the connection from that Mtro stop to the RER. At the RER station, catch any train listed as Versailles R.G., and ride to the last stop.
At the Versailles R.G. train station, exit through the turnstiles by inserting your ticket. To reach the palace, just follow the crowds: Turn right out of the station, then left at the first boulevard, and walk 10 minutes. To return to Paris, all trains serve all downtown Paris RER stops on the C line.
