Weekend Away... Versailles
WOMAN - UK
|January 15, 2018
Opulence, splendour and the lap of luxury – what’s not to love about living like a royal for a lost weekend?
WHY GO?
A hotbed of history, royalty and power, Chateau de Versailles (chateauversailles.fr) was the main residence for the sun King Louis XIV and his heirs. its scenic beauty makes the most romantic getaway, or if you have a big celebration coming up and want to go somewhere special, this is the destination. it’s a stunning provincial city situated a 20-minute train ride away from Paris, and is popular for day tripping with all the grandeur of the capital but none of the crowds. its tree-lined boulevards and geometric pathways are a treat to behold.
