Majestic castles, curated parks, medieval fortifications, famous vineyards and entertainment for children and adults. If your holiday in Paris is long enough, take your time to discover its fascinating surroundings, escaping the hustle and bustle of the metropolis to relax amid the breathtaking scenery.
A must-see is undoubtedly the Palace of Versailles. Chosen by Louis XIV to escape from Paris and its citizens, Versailles, close to the capital, became the ideal venue for the splendor of Sun King’s court. A perfect combination of classical and baroque architecture styles, the palace is as luxurious inside as it is refined outside, surrounded by the most magnificent example of a French baroque garden. The Castle of Fontainebleau is also gracious, a French kings’ country residence for hunting, the only royal and imperial castle inhabited for over seven centuries.
