Our Favourites
The Palace of Versailles, near Paris, is one of the most magnificent and historically significant royal residences in the world. Originally a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII, it was transformed by Louis XIV in the 17th century into a grand symbol of absolute monarchy and French opulence. Highlights for visitors include the Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Apartments, and the expansive Gardens of Versailles, complete with fountains, sculptures, and the Grand Canal.

Today, Versailles is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see destination for its art, architecture, and insight into French history
