Versailles Maps and Orientation
(Versailles, Ile-de-France, France, FR)



A suburb of Paris, Versailles is considered to be a city / commune in its own right and home to an overall population rapidly approaching 100,000 residents. Versailles is situated just 20 km / 12 miles to the west of Paris, within the Île-de-France area, and enjoys a fairly elevated city, atop a spreading plateau.

The natural scenery surrounding Versailles is especially beautiful and consists of a series of hills and woodlands. Apart from Paris, many interesting French cities and towns are extremely close by and so tourists often choose to stay here, using Versailles as a fairly central location to base themselves.

Visitors will find the Palace of Versailles (Château de Versailles) easy to find and well signposted, being located on the western side of the city.
