Versailles Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Louis the 13th was known as the Sun King. He was born into royalty, and in fact, was actually too young to serve when initially eligible. Once in power, he served for over 70 years. He liked to hunt, fish, drink and womanize. What a guy! He also liked to spend lots of money.He got tired of the stuffy Parisian life and decided to leave all the pa...

The Chateau de Versailles is one of the prestigious world's heritage sites and represent the finest and most accomplished achievement of 17th century French art. King Louis XIII's former hunting lodge was transformed and enlarged by his son Louis XIV, who installed his court and government there. The town that was built around the Palace bears w...

This morning we woke up a bit earlier than normal, grabbed a quick breakfast from the hostel and than moved to our new digs in a hostel across town in the up and coming 19 arrondissmont, St.Christophers hostel located along a canal that empties into the Seine river. The hostel is out of the city center a bit, but it is one of the best hostels I ...

Today, I headed outside of Paris to Versailles, the political capital and old seat of the royal court initially, where the 1919 Treaty of Versailles ending WWI was signed.

Afin de rentrer dans un rang...

I had my museum pass that allowed me to jump the line, so that saved a couple hours, but once inside I was again with the masses. Along with a couple of other places that I have been, the palace allows tours and their per...

The garden that we thougth was a garden, not the size of 10 football fields!

A half hour outside of Paris, the Palace of Versailles is one of the world's grandest historical museums.

Bonjour friends and family! So, at some point during the last two days, I've managed to acquire a Rodin foot. I noticed my left foot is swollen and sore, like the feet Rodin made on his sculptures. I must have turned it at some point, but one would think I would have noticed! I guess we're having such a great time, it hasn't bothered me too much...

27/09/2005 Versailles Today Nessa and I went to Versailles for a day trip and what a nice time we had. We got up really early, not doing that again, and got ready to go, made lunch and everything, and we knew what train we wanted, we just weren't sure how much it cost. So when we got there and asked to by a aller retour ticket there the lady at ...
