This special issue of The European Traveller marks the first time we have included our favorite Paris day trips, Versailles, Chantilly, Chartres, Fontainebleau and Reims, in a single issue. The closest, most convenient, and, by far, the most popular Paris day trip is Louis XIV's magnificent palace and gardens at Versailles. The splendid Chateau de Chantilly, also within easy reach of Paris, was home to the French Bourbon-Conde dynasty for more than 300 years and, along with its magnificent grounds, houses the largest and most impressive collection of French art outside the Louvre. The glorious Cathedral at Chartres is best known for its brilliant medieval stained glass windows and the medieval Cathedral at Reims, where French monarchs were crowned for nearly eight centuries, has one of Europe's finest Gothic portals. Fontainebleau, known as Napoleon's favorite, was the sight of his abdication in 1814. This issue includes important transportation details, valuable tips for maximizing the day and highlights special attractions that should not be missed! Several beautiful countryside chateau hotels are also featured in the issue as well as some interesting dining spots. Travellers to Paris may also want to consider the back issues on Paris, the French Riviera, Provence, the Dordogne, Burgundy, the Loire and Normandy.
