Camping Versailles

To mighty, magnif and fab Versailles, the palace of the French kings started by Louis XIV (but of course) when he shifted the royal court to here from Paris. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site these days (but of course), famed for many many sights such as the Hall of Mirrors, the lush palace rooms, the King’s Grand Apartment and the Museum of French History… and the spectacular accompanying gardens, among the most visited in France. Amble along to Versailles town after the palace for the Marché Notre-Dame, the lively and thriving market started by Louis when he moved his lot to these parts. Food stalls are on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday mornings; other goods are displayed on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. From Versailles–Chantiers station, take the Paris RER line C for as many days as you can manage in the French capital. The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower are its most famed sights, but you should also make time for Montmartre and its Moulin Rouge and Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and the works of Warhol, Matisse and Picasso at Centre Pompidou.
