Rick Steves' Europe travel guide © 2014 | When we take a trip from Paris to the Ile de France, we enjoy the world of royal and aristocratic extravagance in the pre-revolutionary playground of the French elite. We explore Versailles, the palace of Europe; beautiful Vaux-le-Vicomte; and the extravagant Fontainebleau, home to centuries of French rulers. We'll also marvel at the glass and sculptures of Chartres Cathedral… and dine like kings. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #france
