As one of the premier tourist destination of France, Versailles is really easy locate and to visit. For one, Versailles is really close to Paris – Once you arrive in via Charles de Gaul International Airport, you’ll just be spending an hour traveling before you arrive in Versailles. If you’re in Paris, you can practically get a cab and get there. Although it will generally be outweighed by Paris in terms of number of visitors, there’s not mistaking the importance of this place in the history of France. Any experienced traveler can tell you that. The French has basically laid out their political power in this place so there was a time that all roads go to Versailles instead of Paris.

Once you arrive in Versailles, you have to remember that this place is a historical. If you wanted to have something really romantic, you should stay in Paris and go to Montpellier instead. But there are times that you can also appreciate the view as romantic and these are mostly in prime hotels. In Paris you can almost feel the electricity in the place when it comes to people who go there for their honeymoon. You can have Versailles as an option if you well plan out your visit.

So that you’ll know where to go, here are some tips on what to do, stay, eat and activities at night.

Once you arrive in Versailles, the first thing that you should do is to get yourself a room with great accommodation. There are lots of hotels when you’re visiting Versailles so it’s all up to your budget on what type of accommodation that you want. The best hotels in Versailles are near to the most important places in this city. The most important landmark is of course, the Palace of Versailles. This estate was built during the 17th century as a hunting lodge for the royalties. You can also find hotels on a budget near the Church of the Notre Dame.

Once you’re there, you can go ahead and visit the important places in Versailles. If you can, get a guided tour that will walk you through the important places in this area. Prepare to walk a little bit so that you can visit these places. It might be tiring so be prepared. If you have a personal guide, you can go eat at a restaurant located inside the Palace. Grand Trinanon also has several stalls that serve fast food.

However, don’t get too excited in nightlife of Versailles. But I think you won’t really think of going out at night because you’ve just spent all your energy going around the city.
