Chateau de Versailles

The most famous French king has to be Louis XIV. The history of Versailles is inextricably linked with the figure of Louis XIV. Although the location existed for centuries before the sovereign, Louis XIV developed a genuine liking for Versailles early on, and decided to extend it beyond the chateau that had grown out of the hunting lodge of brick and stone first built by his father. highly recommended to buy your tickets online rather than queue for tickets there as the queues go up to hours during peak seasons like summer.
