Paris is known for elegant streets, major museums and a cultural identity shaped by art, fashion and café life. Along the Seine, grand landmarks sit beside neighbourhoods that still feel local and lived in.
Versailles is known for the Palace of Versailles and its grand royal setting. Beyond the palace, the town has elegant streets, a lively market and a distinctly historic atmosphere.
