Versailles (France)

If you go to Paris, it's definitely worth it to make the trip to Versailles!  It's only a 45mins metro ride outside the city, to a small town where lies the Chateau de Versailles (or Marie Antoinette).

This property is nonsense!  It has a big chateau which was built by one of the kings and later became Marie Antoinette's property.  The gardens are HUGE - there are a million pathways, multiple sections, a hundred fountains!  Go there early, you can easily spend the whole day there! On top of that, there is a second smaller castle at the end of the property that Marie Antoinette had built as a home away from home.  Going there you quickly realize why the citizens didn't like her and killed her - it is just ridiculous the size of that place!  Put your good shoes on though, because there is tons of walking to do there!!

If you go check out the Chateau, take some time and walk a little bit in the village, it's really cute!

Just a little note to those interested - buy the tickets at the chateau!  There are plenty of places selling them, but their tickets don't give you full access to everything.
