Versailles tourism and trips around Paris: The Palace of Versailles is among the most illustrious monuments of the world’s heritage and is the finest and most complete consummation of XVIIth century French art and architecture. Louis XIII’s former hunting lodge was transformed and extended by his son Louis XIV, who made it the seat of the French Court and Government. A mere two kilometres as the crow flies from the Palace of Versailles are two other royal residences: the Grand Trianon and the Petit Trianon. As well as the heritage treasures in stone, admire those of the parkland and gardens created by Le Nôtre. Take the time, on your next visit to the Yvelines or excursion from Paris, to stroll or even ramble through the Great Park of the Palace of Versailles and the famous gardens of this unique attraction near Paris.
