Citea Vanves - Porte de Versailles, Vanves

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: No bathroom

...book well in advance. All of the rooms are air conditioned, whcih is a godsend considering the noise from the traffic is unbearable with the window open. But with the double glazing, having the window shut should block out mot of the noise. Pets are welcome, and there is a lift for disabled access. Each room consists of a double bed with overhanging bunk, a worktop, tv, telephone, alarm clock and wash basin. THERE IS NO EN SUITE. Shower facilities are are on each floor and are shared between the guests - not good for those who are used to having their own bathroom! Although catering facilities are non-apparent, there is a shoppiong centre (la centre commerciale le grand porte) a sgort walk away from where you can purchase any essentials. There are also vending machines in the main foyer. A buffet breakfast is served everyday for 3... Read review

Advantages: Close to all amenities, clean, friendly, good short break offers
Disadvantages: If walking be prepared for the hill!!

Advantages: Nice town
Disadvantages: Shame about the palace

...-house/court theatre, would it? The one at Versailles is, needless to say, one of the largest of its kind, able to seat over 700 people in two balconies as well as the stalls, although the precise arrangement could be altered for different occasions with sophisticated machinery. Also, needless to say, the décor is elaborate; although the walls are entirely of wood for its acoustical properties, not a square centimetre is left undecorated in red, green and, of course, gold. Those then are just a few of the more salient interior attractions. There are also the Queen's Suite, both King's and Queen's private apartments, and various galleries, salons and suites of a later era, some of them given over to museums. The history museum, dedicated "à toutes les gloires de la France", is the largest of its kind in the world. Well, it would be, wouldn... Read review
