5 Reasons Why I Love Versailles

So this one is more of a visual of why I love Versailles. It is an absolutely stunning palace to visit both inside and out. If you have an extra afternoon or even a day in Paris I would highly recommend heading out to Versailles. Also if you are going in the summer try to visit on a day when they have all the fountains and classical music playing throughout the gardens, which runs on Saturdays and Sundays from April to October. It really makes you feel as if you have stepped back in time. There is so much to see here and you can spend the entire day just idly walking through the gardens, visiting Petit Trianon (Marie Antoinette’s Private Home) and of course the palace itself. It is about a half hour train ride from Paris so it is definitely worth it. And without further ado here are my five visual reasons to visit Versailles.
1. Versailles itself
