Versailles has to be one of your top places to visit when coming to Paris. Please note that Versailles is not right in Paris and is about 30 minutes outside the main sites of Paris. The first thing that I didn't expect is the sheer size of this Palace and it's ground. The place is absolutely massive. I recommend doing the guided tour of the Palace because it truly provides the background, history, and some fun anecdotes of this amazing historic site. After going through the palace, please take the time to walk around the garden area. Like the Palace it is massive and will take some time to explore. There are golf cart or side by side type vehicles that you can rent if do not want walk. A quick note about of food. If you want to get some authentic French food you need to visit the Halles du Notre Dame market just a couple blocks away. There are several shops with fresh foods for sale along with a variety of restaurants. You can also do shopping for clothes, souvenirs, etc. Great little place to go.
