This former unofficial capital of France sits just 10 miles from Paris and is easily reachable by train. Even though the Chateau de Versailles has been known as the epitome of indulgent luxury for centuries, seeing it in person is a jaw-dropping experience. The chateau's magnificent gardens are free, but it's worth shelling out for a day ticket to see the interior—although it does make going back to even a fancy hotel seem rather humdrum.

when you think you have seen it all, then Apollo on his chariot rises out of the pond. The sculpture is amazingly fine. But the pond is so large that it is hard to see all the detail in the bronze without a zoom lens. it is worth the effort.

an exquisitely crafted ans sculpted fountain with lots of tortoise statues as smaller fountain-mouths, this is an ideal selfie point after touring the complete outdoors.

Up near the Grand Trianon this quite well detailed piece sits in isolation, I'd never seen anything like it before, it was well worth a stop at.
