Top Things to do in Versailles
The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Versailles, Ile-de-France
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.

If you are entering Palace of Versailles the traditional way via the RER station one can not help but notice the Hotel de Ville on Avenue General de Gaulle. The architecture is great and there is a floral clock and a monument to the dead. It is a great photo opportunity! Throughout France it is a municipal building and not to be confused with a hotel where you can stay.
