Top 10 Things to do for Honeymoon 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.

Amazing architecture, incredibly opulent.I am so glad that I visited. The entrance to the building is a bit confusing, you have to go all the way around the building before it is evident where to enter. It really is a site to put on your list. However, the staff is outrageously RUDE , unhelpful and could care less if you see the building or not.

The Grande Trianon was a stunning “little” house that is worth visiting while at the Palace of Versailles. You can walk there, rent a golf cart, rent a Segway, even run there if you choose. This place has a very homey feel, like you could picture yourself sitting there enjoying a book and some coffee. Well worth the visit.

If you purchase the ticket to visit le Petit Trianon and Marie Antoinette's quarters (12 eruos), you will have access to the beautiful park and trails that surround it. This is where you find this well preserved and peaceful temple.

The Grand Canal is a magnificent part of the Versailles Palace. The sheer size of it and the volumes of water needed to make it work are just mind boggling. A great place to walk around.

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.
