Versailles 

Why Versailles?  Decadence, indulgence, opulence...what's not to love? 

Explore

Dedicate and entire day here. Explore all the palaces, the vast gardens and Marie Antoinette's hamlet. 

Definitely use an audio guide and wear very comfortable walking shoes. 

Take the RER-C train from Paris (about 35 minute ride).
