Top Things to do in Versailles
8 Nature & Parks in Versailles That You Shouldn't Miss
This former unofficial capital of France sits just 10 miles from Paris and is easily reachable by train. Even though the Chateau de Versailles has been known as the epitome of indulgent luxury for centuries, seeing it in person is a jaw-dropping experience. The chateau's magnificent gardens are free, but it's worth shelling out for a day ticket to see the interior—although it does make going back to even a fancy hotel seem rather humdrum.

The royal gardens were design by Andre Le Notre a famous landscape architect hired by Louis XIV. The was the master of gardens. There is a Netflix doc about him. Very instructive. There is a fee to visit the garden, but it worth it!

Awesome garden with many fountains and statues. So big you can hire a golf cart to travel around but still great just to walk. Garden not officially opened at my time of visit ( beginning of March ) so no water fountains on and most statues were still covered but still a great garden to visit. Would visit again just the garden, if ever in Paris during the summer just to see the fountain show.
