Home to the magnificent Château de Versailles, the epitome of 17th and 18th-century luxury, along with its exquisite gardens and grand halls, Versailles is a small city just outside of Paris in the Île-de-France region that is a must-visit when in France. Built around the Château and its many spectacular buildings, the town features an array of beautifully preserved homes, churches and chapels, grand bridges, and bustling markets to explore.
