1. Chateau de Malmaison

Reviewed By SunnyAndBeautiful - Croatia
After the opulence of Versailles and other royal palaces, it's good to cleanse the palate by visiting a smaller, more intimate residence.
Napoleon's and Josephine's residence in Rueil-Malmaison is a quaint affair. The chateau is quite humble in comparison with other royal abodes, but it's still well appointed and has the charm of a bygone age. The price of 6.50 euros for the ticket is fair, and I believe that one can freely access the Gardens around the chateau. The Gardens are amazing and are quite a refuge from the big city smog.
I'm very fond of visiting smaller towns around Paris, so Rueil-Malmaison (and its chateau) was just the thing for me. If you are interested in going somewhere nice but close to Paris, give Rueil-Malmaison a go.
2. Les Quatre Temps
3. Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 76 reviews
Reviewed By mobileaccess - Oakland, California
This is the only military cemetery outside of the US that has the fallen of both wars buried in it. It has a beautiful loggia with statues specifically commissioned to commemorate both WWI and WWII. Lewis Iselin, a professional artist who also commanded the ship that sunk the last German uboat in the Second World War, sculpted Memoire (Memory) for WWII as well as the wall friezes. This site should be visited by all Americans who come to Paris; we come every VE Day to say thank you! Easy to get here on the tram from either Defense or Porte de Versailles. The views of Paris are gorgeous and the Gardens are beautiful but the silent homage to our war dead is the most important!

The museum part and the Japanese houses were under renovation so I can only comment on the Gardens. They're all very nice, but my order of preference is 1) Japanese 2) Nordic (Vosges) and 3) French fruit - rose garden. Well worth a visit to get out of the bustle of downtown Paris.

My family is french and they were embarrassed. The line was long, disorganized, security was a joke & people are herded like cattle (to the point that it did not feel safe) through the few open rooms. If something happened inside the palace and people needed to get out... god speed.
The Gardens were amazing, of course the palace is incredible historically and remains a spectacular sight. Maybe if you arrive at 8:30 and are the first ones in it’s tolerable but after our experience today we all feel like we wasted our time. We paid for tickets to the petit Trianon and didn’t make it due to the long lines to go in. We ended up eating lunch at the petit Venise which was the best part of the day (€250 for 5).
The photos below were taken in the only two rooms we could get close enough to see what was on display. I wish I had taken photos of the crowds squeezing through the tiny doorways but I had zero arm mobility.
I was here years ago and it was an entirely different experience. I have no desire to go back to Versailles after what we went through today. They need to change something, limit daily visitors, have a staff member in each room, space people out... have some semblance of control. It seems like the current staff is stressed out and not managed properly.
Finally, the lack of toilets is disgusting. trying to find toilet paper to clean poop off a toilet without a seat so my six year old could pee, proved impossible. No one cared enough to give us toilet paper. That speaks volumes and seems like a good place to end this review.

Our guide Christophe met us at our hotel and whisked us away. We started our tour in Montmartre and it only got better from there. Christophe was so knowlegeable and interesting. He pointed out things that we would have passed right by. He even quizzed our two young girls and gave relevant history to them. If you have an opportunity to take this tour, I would highly recommend that you do. It was the best 4 hours of our trip to Paris.

If you are a fan, this is worth a visit. It's interested and if I could have read the French I would have rated it higher. Reasonable priced and run by nice people.
