Versailles
The Château de Versailles with its extensive fountain-speckled gardens, are a testimony to the royal extravagance of 17th century France’s notorious “Sun King,” Louis XIV, who embellished them to what they are today.

Fontainebleau
This 1900-room palace (another former royal residence) was a popular retreat for centuries of French kings. Surrounding forests provided fertile hunting grounds for the monarchs; today they attract visitors for biking and hiking.

The Loire
The vineyard-bordered valley is equally famous for wine as it is châteaux (musts include Chambord and Chenonceau). Combine tours with hiking, bicycling or hot air ballooning through the scenic countryside.

Mont St-Michel
The evocative silhouette of Mont Saint-Michel’s towering, mist-shrouded abbey is worth the lengthy day trip from Paris. Bus tours can be arranged through tour operators like Cityrama or Paris Vision.
