Once just a modest hunting lodge, the Château de Versailles can surely now lay claim to the title of the most sumptuous pad in Paris. It’s grown with each resident and now has an astonishing 2,300 rooms that have housed numerous member of the French royalty over the years.
The majority of the lavish work was commissioned by Louis XIV in 1678. The Sun King is virtually synonymous with Versailles: he’s responsible for adding the wondrous Hall of Mirrors, as well as the elegant and expansive grounds. It can get busy at peak times, so book a skip-the-line ticket beforehand and arrive early.
Don’t miss: If you’re visiting during summer, there are magnificent musical fountain shows at night.
