What to do and see in Versailles, Ile-de-France: The Best Free Things to do
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.

We came to this place on a sunny day. The canal is so big it looks like a lake. Perfect place to sit on the side of it, take a relaxing nap and enjoy the natural beauty.

Open to the public, the Paris Temple is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens lined with towering trees, sit by the fountains and cascading waterfall, enjoy the beautiful views, and feel the peace of the grounds. While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center.

It was amazing for me to visit the France Temple Visitor Center from the comfort of my own home. With an internet connection and my laptop I was able to enjoy this beautiful and peaceful place that is thousands of miles away, its just amazing. The tour guides did an amazing job showing me around, teaching me about the Temple. They have this incredible temple model that has intricate details of the actual temple so I could see how it looked inside, they taught we what members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do in this amazing building. I truly hope to travel there in person someday. I would highly recommend you schedule a virtual tour soon.

when you think you have seen it all, then Apollo on his chariot rises out of the pond. The sculpture is amazingly fine. But the pond is so large that it is hard to see all the detail in the bronze without a zoom lens. it is worth the effort.
