It took the will of the Sun King and all the talent of Jules Hardouin Mansart, the first architect, and gardener Andr\u00e9 Le N\u00f4tre to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re coming to the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/travel\/paris\/\"   title=\"Paris\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Paris<\/a> region, make a detour to Versailles &#8211; you won&#8217;t be disappointed.

Held 3 times a week on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sunday mornings, this well-stocked market is sure to delight.<\/p>\n<h2>The antiques district: watch out for the bargains!<\/h2>\n<p>Close to the Ch\u00e2teau and the Notre-Dame district, this area of Versailles will delight lovers of beautiful things and old things. Some fifty antique dealers offer a varied selection of items: from toys and jewelry to furniture and crockery, books, paintings and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/timeless-fashion-books-home-decor-211662023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home decor<\/a><\/strong>, it&#8217;s impossible not to find something you&#8217;re looking for. The place is frequented by professionals and private individuals alike, so it&#8217;s the place to be if you love to bargain, that&#8217;s for sure! The antique dealers are organized into four areas linked by courtyards and alleyways, making for a pleasant stroll, I assure you.<\/p>\n<h2>The Monbauron-Montreuil district, a village atmosphere<\/h2>\n<p>This grouping of two village districts offers cobbled streets, a hillock and a decidedly more modest village atmosphere, unlike the area around the ch\u00e2teau. Here you&#8217;ll find the estate of Madame Elisabeth, sister of Louis XVI, whose park is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n<h2>The Saint-Louis district, at the heart of history<\/h2>\n<p>This district is made up of Vieux-Versailles, the town&#8217;s original medieval village and now its historic heart, and the Saint-Louis district, originally the king&#8217;s hunting reserve and subsequently urbanized.<\/p>\n<p>There are many historic buildings to discover here, including the R\u00e9collets convent, Saint-Louis cathedral and the famous Salle du Jeu de Paume! The atmosphere here is tranquil and pleasant. There&#8217;s also a twice-weekly market, with organic produce on Saturday mornings.<\/p>\n<h2>The jewel of the Grand Trianon<\/h2>\n<p>Located to the north of the ch\u00e2teau grounds, the Grand Trianon palace is a red marble marvel dedicated to Madame de Montespan, who enjoys her own estate. It is currently furnished with Napoleon-era furniture, the original having disappeared during the Revolution. This does not prevent the place from impressing visitors with its refined decor and charming style.<\/p>\n<h2>The perfectly regal Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles<\/h2>\n<p>The main attraction of Versailles is, of course, its setting: the ch\u00e2teau can be visited every day except Monday, with opening times that may vary according to the season. Tickets can be booked online, and I recommend that you anticipate your visit to avoid the queues, which can be very long. In any case, it&#8217;s a very busy place due to its appeal, especially in summer and during the tourist season.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very extensive and includes many rooms: bring good shoes and open your eyes wide, the visit is undoubtedly worth the detour. You&#8217;ll find the famous Galerie des Glaces and the King&#8217;s apartments.<\/p>\n<h2>Versailles gardens and ch\u00e2teau grounds<\/h2>\n<p>The grounds of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.chateauversailles.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ch\u00e2teau<\/a> are immense, and thanks to their carefully laid-out layout, they offer stunning views. The sense of space is striking, and the water features magical. Once you&#8217;ve explored the park&#8217;s paths, you&#8217;ll be able to discover the gardens adjoining the ch\u00e2teau, including the orangery and the bosquets.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the ch\u00e2teau, there&#8217;s also the king&#8217;s kitchen garden, the garden of the Gobert ponds, and the Versailles arboretum. Once again, make sure you&#8217;re well-shod for a pleasant stroll!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24199\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24199\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Visit-Versailles2.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Versailles\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Visit-Versailles2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Visit-Versailles2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Visit-Versailles2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Visit-Versailles2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Visit-Versailles2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Visit-Versailles2-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24199\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Getting around Versailles, and how to get there ?<\/h2>\n<p>Accessible by train from the Saint-Lazare station in Paris, the town is served by the RER, which will leave you not far from the gates of the ch\u00e2teau. You can get around by car, but it&#8217;s probably by bike that you&#8217;ll get the most out of the whole of Versailles. This solution will be all the more appreciated as you won&#8217;t have to worry about parking, but beware: the weather should be fine as much as possible to avoid turning your outing into a bad experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Relax, eat well and enjoy a drink on the terrace<\/h2>\n<p>If you can afford it, don&#8217;t miss British chef Gordon Ramsay&#8217;s Le Trianon on boulevard de la reine. I also recommend Le Pincemin, on boulevard du roi, or La Table du 11, both Michelin-starred. More affordable, Le Gab\u00e9rem is a worthy choice.<\/p>\n<p>And for a quick meal, why not try a pizza at O&#8217;Bottega on rue du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Leclerc.<\/p>\n<p>Conclude the afternoon with a cake and a hot drink at Stray Bean, rue royale, which offers coffee specialties such as mocha latte, flat latte and, more original, golden milk.<\/p>\n<h2>Versailles, beauty and goodness<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve still got a little energy left after all that sightseeing, you can take some time out for shopping and discover boutiques such as CapsuleMarket, a designer boutique, or Atelier Badani, which offers engravings, calligraphic posters and other artistic creations.<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget to visit Art et Chocolat, where you can pick up a few sweets to put in your bags rather than your pockets, so you can take them home intact!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;24174&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;5\\\/5 - (1 vote)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Visit Versailles: everything you need to know&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;138&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px;
