Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | Sidetripping from Paris into the Ile de France, we indulge in the world of royal and aristocratic extravagance in the preRevolutionary playground of France’s elite. We explore Versailles, Europe’s palace of palaces; exquisite VauxleVicomte; and extravagant Fontainebleau, home to centuries of French rulers. We’ll also marvel at the glass and statuary of Chartres Cathedral…and dine like kings. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #france
