Getting to Versailles

During our 8 day trip to Paris, we%26#39;re thinking of adding Versailles to our trip. Our neighbors are just raving about it! They are from London. Anyway, if we decide to go, would you suggest going on the train, or renting a car and driving.





If we drive, is there anything interesting along the way that we might also want to include in the day trip. AND is it an entire day trip?





Information on restaurants in that area are also appreciated. I guess, if you%26#39;ve read any of my other posts, you realize by now that we%26#39;re foodies!





Can%26#39;t help it!

Versailles is practically a suburb of Paris - it is all %26#39;city%26#39; between the two. Just take the train. (RER-C to Versailles-Rive Gauche; train names are... VICK and ??; Zone 4)

Don%26#39;t bother renting a car, take the RER train (do a search and you will see this question has been asked thousands of times), and of course you can make it a whole day trip there, if you do you can enjoy the back of the park with the trianons, and hameau de la reine which is my favorite. Don%26#39;t miss the fountains turned on , on the week-ends. A nice restaurant is La Flotille, right between the gardens and the grand trianon, overlokking the canal, but better to book there.
