Versailles  is located 17 km south-west  of the centre of Paris, and is now an elegant suburb of Paris, the capital of France. It is situated on a plateau, 135 m above sea-level and is surrounded by forests and wooded hills.

Versailles grew from the forecourt of the world-famous Château de Versailles (Palace of Versailles) and today has a population is estimated at around 86,000 inhabitants.

Versailles was conceived by an absolute monarch, Louis XIV - ‘The Sun King’ ,and was very modern by 18th century standards. It has a rational,symmetrical layout of streets and was a model for the building of Washington DC.

It has never been a centre of industry but remains  a place of  local administration, tourism, congresses, and festivals.
