The Trianons & The Hamlet

Reviewed By chrislN392IZ - Sumter, United States

The Grande Trianon was a stunning “little” house that is worth visiting while at the Palace of Versailles. You can walk there, rent a golf cart, rent a Segway, even run there if you choose. This place has a very homey feel, like you could picture yourself sitting there enjoying a book and some coffee. Well worth the visit.

Chateau de St-Germain

Reviewed By LIKAYLA - Topanga, United States

We made an unplanned trip to Saint-Germain as my son's best friends happened to be in Paris for the World Cup finals. Their father was born and raised in Saint-Germain, so we spent the day there at his parent's home, after vising Versailles in the morning. It's a lovely town outside of Paris and is the birthplace of Louis XIV! It's built on a hill with beautiful views down toward Paris. If you're looking to get out of the city and experiencing a bit of the country, this is a great destination that's easily accessible by RER (the metro that travels outside of Paris City Centre).

The Grand Canal is a magnificent part of the Versailles Palace. The sheer size of it and the volumes of water needed to make it work are just mind boggling. A great place to walk around.
