4 routes for a different way to explore Versailles

Head off to explore the Notre-Dame district, built at the behest of Louis XIV to embellish the approach to his palace. Here in this district, still very much prized by the inhabitants of Versailles today, we find the Church of Notre Dame, the Montansier Theatre, the Lambinet Museum, the famous antiquarian district whose fame has spread beyond France, and the Notre Dame market, one of the best in the region.

Taking you on a ride in the countryside, a woodland ride and a sightseeing tour, the Park & Grand Canal route immerses you in the great history of the Versailles estate. Head off to tackle the Petit Trianon and Grand Trianon, the domain of Queen Marie-Antoinette, the Grand Canal, the pièce d’eau des Suisses, and much more. The park and its immense vistas are a feast for the eyes!

The Saint-Louis district route, on the other hand, will take you to the famous Carrés Saint Louis, surrounded by their shops dating from the 18th century, as far as the big square with the cathedral, and will enable you to discover the charms of the Garden of the Étangs de Gobert, before a little detour through the trees. And in old Versailles, the Royal Tennis Court, scene of the Tennis Court Oath and closely associated with the French Revolution, is well worth stopping for.
Versailles is a royal and historic town, of course, but it also has the knack of reinventing itself, and nowadays many contemporary works of art are dotted around the town. With the Street Art trail, prepare to be surprised by the admirable work of Catherine Feff, Jean Sablé and CyKLop, as well as the monumental creations, unobtrusive or even hidden, of the Quai 36 collective, the Ecole d’Art Mural de Versailles, and the mysterious Emmanuel Braudeau. And if you look up, you’ll find yourself counting the Space Invader mosaics!
