Versailles, known worldwide for the Château du Versailles (Palace of Versailles), is a town bisected by the Avenue de Paris, the widest in France, located in the department of the Yvelines, Île-de-France.
Founded by King Louis XIV, Versailles was the kingdom's capital for over a century.
Designed by Jules Hardouin Mansart, Chief Architect, and André Le Nôtre, Principal Gardener, the town of Versailles is popular around the world for its magnificent palace, but it also hides many treasures worth discovering.
You can wander the cobbled lanes, and have a coffee in one of the little cafés to enjoy a true French Culture Experience.
