Le château de Versailles

You should visit : the Grands Appartements, the Galerie des Glaces (the Hall of Mirrors), the Chapel, the King's Bedroom, the Opera and the Grand and Petit Trianons, the landscape gardens, the Musée des Carrosses (Coach Museum) and the Salle du Jeu de Paume.
Each Summer, the park becomes alive with the Grandes Eaux Musicales and the Fêtes de Nuit. You can also discover the more remote areas of the Park from a horse-drawn carriage or the miniature train. More sporty visitors can rent a small boat on the Grand Canal or cycle around it.
