Île-de-France: palaces, gardens and aviation discoveries

Around Paris, Versailles, Fontainebleau and Le Bourget offer very different days out. Choose a theme rather than trying to combine every attraction.

Versailles: choose your palace experience

Choose between the palace, gardens and Trianon before booking the relevant admission. Garden events have their own calendar, so do not assume a summer programme runs throughout the year. Allow time for walking between the areas you select.

Fontainebleau: heritage and outdoor time

Visit Fontainebleau’s château and gardens, or make the forest the focus of your outing. A museum visit and a forest walk require different planning. Choose suitable footwear and a route matching the group’s walking ability rather than adding a demanding detour.

Le Bourget: a day looking skyward

The Air and Space Museum is an option for aviation enthusiasts and families. Check which displays and activities are available on your date. Museum admission is separate from access to private airport facilities; give your chauffeur the museum entrance rather than a general airport address.
