Day trips from Paris
 

I will be going to France the beginning of May. I will have a total of six days in Paris and would love any recommendations for some day trips from the city. <BR> <BR>Thanks for any information that will help.

Versailles, Chartres, Giverny <BR> <BR>and consider actually leaving Paris for a night away. <BR> <BR>www.chateaudejonvilliers.com <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Auvers-sur-Oise, Chantilly and Senlis, Compiègne, Fontainebleau, Vaux-le-Vicomte.....

Fontainebleau...Chantilly...overnight to Loire Valley/chateau country <BR>

My vote is for Vaux le Vicomte. It was designed and engineered by the same 3 men who later were requested [sic] by Louis XIV to create Versailles. The architectuaral innovations of the building are marvellous and the interior decorating and painting is of the highest order. No wonder techy Louis had a fit when he saw it and demanded even better for himself. <BR>Much of the bulding has been restored with some beautiful furniture. <BR> <BR>One of the tour companies has a tour that goes to both Vaux and Fontainebleau in one day. A little much, perhaps, but certainly a day full of interest and big lessons in French history. <BR>I would dearly love to return to both Vaux le Vimcomte and Fontainebleau. <BR>
