All about Versailles
When to visit
The most visited monument in France, the Palace of Versailles is undoubtedly the crowning glory of this French city. A lavish palace built by Louis XIV on the site of a hunting lodge, it contains 2,300 opulently decorated rooms and extensive, manicured gardens. Marie-Antoinette herself lived here. Visit in any weather and any day except Mondays, when the palace and the Estate of Trianon are closed.
Getting around
To reach the Palace of Versailles, take a train from central Paris. Austerlitz has regular RER trains which take around 40 minutes, and the train station at Versailles is just 10 minutes on foot from the palace. Alternatively, book a guided tour from Paris’s city center that includes transportation. Plan to spend a whole day exploring the many rooms and gardens.
Traveler tips
Visiting the palace isn’t the only thing to do in Versailles. Dodge the crowds and head to Musée Lambinet, an 18th-century building that houses a collection of sculptures and paintings in more than 30 rooms. To dine like a king, literally, visit Le Potager du Roi. You won’t be eating cake here (as Marie-Antoinette allegedly advised), but rather exploring Louis XIV’s vegetable garden, where you can even pick up fresh produce to take home.
