Que faire à Versailles

Versailles Unmissables

Versailles extends beyond its palace gates to a town shaped by royal service and 17th-century urban planning. This collection features the Grande Écurie and King’s Stables, which housed the royal horses, and the Musée Lambinet, an 18th-century mansion detailing local history. Significant religious sites include the parish Church of Notre-Dame and the neoclassical buildings of Place Hoche. The list also covers the city's key transport links, the Rive Gauche and Rive Droite stations, which have connected Versailles to Paris since the 19th century.
