Best Luxury Hotels in Versailles
Few names are as synonymous with opulence as Versailles. While this may be due to the legendary palace (a World Heritage Site) within its boundary, the city itself is home to some magnificent hotels. As well as having been a place of royal residence, Versailles used to be a governmental seat and the area itself is also a national landmark; its design was the inspiration for international cities like London, St Petersburg and Washington. You’ll find many points of interest in the vicinity, such as the country’s widest avenue, an equestrian academy, vintage coach museum and many colourful markets. And it’s all only 10 miles from the French capital.
