The Château de Versailles, King Louis XIV’s immense royal residence 11 miles west of Paris in the Île-de-France region, is the third most popular site in France after the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Most people visit Versailles on a day trip, which is something we’ve done many times. But to be honest, this has always been an exhausting and rather overwhelming outing because there’s so much to see that a single day can’t possibly do the place justice. Two days are required for a leisurely experience.
