Palace of Versailles

The Best Day Trips From Paris | Vogue

"Built by Louis XIII as a hunting lodge and transformed by Louis XIV, the opulent 17th-century château and its manicured gardens span nearly 2,000 acres. Inside the palace, you’ll find the famed Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Chapel, and some 2,300 rooms that include the King’s state apartments and Marie Antoinette’s chambers. While you’re here, make sure to also pop over to the Trianon Estate, which was originally constructed so that Louis XIV could spend time with his secret wife, Madame de Maintenon, and the National Equestrian Academy for an equestrian show and a tour of the Royal Stables." - Christina Liao
