"An opulent royal palace famed for the Hall of Mirrors, Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon and hamlet, expansive lawns and the Grand Canal ideal for picnics, and a rotating slate of temporary gallery exhibitions (examples cited include major retrospectives in rooms such as the Queen’s Guard Room and the Africa and Crimea Rooms); it is a major day‑trip destination easily reached from Paris by the RER C." - Sara Lieberman
