OUTSIDE PARIS BUT STILL ACCESSIBLE BY METRO/RER
- If you love palaces and gardens, the Chateau de Versailles is incomparable. This hunting residence was transformed by Louis XIV into the official royal residence. It became the castle by which all royal residences were measured from then on. You might pair your visit to the chateau with a stop at the nearby Trianon Palace for tea or dinner (Gordon Ramsay is the executive chef) or even choose to stay overnight.
- Before Versailles, the Chateau de Vincennes served as the king's official residence. The Sainte-Chapelle at Vincennes is nearly as stunning at the one on the Île de la Cité. The chateau sits on the edge of a beautiful park, the Bois de Vincennes.
