Hi Susan, Thanks for stopping by the site. We appreciate the suggestion and will be working on providing printable versions of our guides. Happy and safe travels.
Your instruction on how to go to Versailles saved my time and stress. Thank you. Keep on doing what you do! Best regards
Thanks Andrzej. Have fun!
I am traveling to Versailles after a few nights in the city. I am staying the Le Marais district, what would be the easiest Metro station to go to? Thank you for the detailed guide!
Hi Paul, I do not know where you are staying, but Hotel de Ville or St Paul are probably the closest stations. Have fun!
Hi MIke,
This is truly helpful. My husband and our 26 y/o daughter will be going to Paris for 3 days. Do you mind giving us a suggestion for a 3-day trip to maximize our vacation to Paris? Thank you!
Hi Mike!
I am planning a trip to Europe in August and these tips are SO helpful! I am feeling much more at peace thanks to your guide. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this, I really appreciate it and I’m sure many others do as well!
Best Regards,
McKenna 🙂
Hi McKenna, Thanks so much for stopping by our site and for your kind comments. It’s nice to receive positive feedback. We hope you have a great time in Europe, and would love to hear back from you regarding your travels 🙂
Is it the same directions (reverse) to get back to Paris?
Thanks!
Hi Maggie, yes.
usually i dont leave comments, but your walk-through is too good! just a couple of questions you may or may not note in your guide. when will the return ticket expire? is 24hours after i activate the first ticket? also, we will visit versailles next month. is it rare that some tourists take train with their luggage ? Thanks again.very good guide!
Love the directions – need to be in that neighborhood for business.
Thank you, Mike!
Thank U for such a detailed post with pics !! I got lost on my last trip. Now I am going to try one more time & hopefully with your guide ; I ll make it !!
Simply Brilliant & Hassle Free… Kudos…
Thanks Mandar.
Hi Mike, your guides are very ez to understand. But I need a little more information/suggestions. I’ll be travelling with my 72 year old mother and we only have 4 days in Paris. Shall I buy the entrance tickets from counter-to-counter upon arrival or from the travel agents such Paris Pass, Viator, etc? What is your best suggestion for us to maximize our trip? Tq.
Hello TQ,
I suggest using the Paris Museum Pass. You can get more info at;

Your guide is awesome! We cited it on our blog (www.excursioneverywhere.com) and plan to use it when we visit Paris in 2 months. Thank you!
Hi Lindsay,
Thanks for your comments and for citing our site on your blog! We hope you have a great time in Paris and would love to hear back from you about your trip. Happy travels!
I am going to Paris in September and I am reading as much as I can to be able to do what I want to do. I can see that your directions for going to Versailles from Paris will really help me when I finally make the trip. You are so very clear, thank you very much! Now, I will look through your site and see if you also included equally clear directions for going to Giverny haha.
Hi Juno, You’re welcome! And thank you for your comments. We hope you have a great time in Paris and Versailles. Unfortunately, we haven’t yet visited Giverny, but hope you’ll still look through our site 😉 Thanks, again!
On average how long does this journey take?
HI Maui,
It takes about an hour.
Thanks for visiting our website.
I’ve checked it last weekend and everything worked as mentioned in this guide. One way ticket for one person costs 3.55 euro so round trip costs 7.1 euro.
Beware of people who wants to help you when there are big queues to ticket machines, because they can offer you one day ticket for all 5 zones for 49 euro.
Hi Marjan,
Thanks for the tip!
I’ve tried it by the end of July. It does work. However, for some reason many stops of RER C where closed and I had to go to Javel to take it.
Hi Rocio,
We appreciate your comment and hope you enjoyed your journey, even with the temporary RER stop closures.
Hey, I just visited the Versailles today.
thanks to your guidence!!
HI Biswajit,
You’re welcome! We hope you enjoyed your visit to Versailles.
Thank you for the detailed instruction
Hi, thanks for your sharing. But i am still confuse that the round ticket includes 01 train from metro to rer c station and 01 train from rer c station to metro station in return way?
Thank you Mike.
I used the instructions to get to Versailles and it worked spot on.
Also enjoyed your site while we were in Paris for 2 days.
