When to go to Versailles?
Marble and gilt set the tone inside the Château, where chandeliers light state rooms built for spectacle. The gardens run on for what feels like a kingdom, all clipped parterres, singing fountains and shaded avenues that turn a stroll into an expedition. Further out, the Hameau de la Reine answers with thatched cottages and a deliberate patch of countryside.
