Would You Rather Wednesday!
You can visit the Palace of Versailles from Paris with a 50 minute train ride. Once you exit the train you will notice more of a small town feel and many people heading in one direction towards the palace. Once you arrive you can tour: The Palace and its state rooms (including the hall of mirrors), The Garden, The Grand Trianon, and Marie Antoinette's Estate. There are separate admission costs
for each different area, so make sure you are paying for only what you want to see! The gardens are magnificent, and by far our favourite part of our visit here. You can walk throughout the acres and on weekends throughout the summer there are wonderful fountain shows that happen numerous times throughout the day. From June 18th - September 17th there are even night fountain shows. You can horseback ride, row a boat, and even picnic close to the body of water within the Garden. A little history, a little glamour, and a small getaway from the hustle and bustle of Paris.
You can visit/tour Buckingham Palace exclusively in the summer. The Queen is out for summer vacation, so the tourists are invited in for a glimpse of royal life. July 23rd- August 31st is the key time to plan a trip to London if seeing the palace is on your wish list. Often there are additional exhibitions that are running and are included in your admission price. This season they are highlighting the Queens fashion and her 90 years of style. Seeing the state rooms, the grand entrance where not only the royal family has stood but many famous visitors, is a unique experience. You will be pleased to see the palace has maintained its traditional appeal. If you love the royal family, history, and wealth then this is a must see stop during your London summer travels.
Our choice: We loved the Palace of Versailles. It has the outdoor splendour of Central Park infused with the glamour of European royalty. It is a place where you will sit back, enjoy the sunshine on your face with your toes in the water, and the meticulously trimmed greenery all around you.
