Thank you

I agree. The topic of %26quot;Day Trip from Paris%26quot; has been covered almost as extensively as %26quot;how do I get from CDG to my hotel.%26quot; A search will reveal a wealth of wisdom greater than you will get in a new query.

Versailles is well worth a day trip (or even half a day).

Giverny is beautiful. Highly recommended. Be sure to visit L%26#39;Orangerie and Musee d%26#39;Orsay before you go to Giverny.

Day trip to Reims is also fun, especially if you appreciate champagne.

Rouen, Reims, Chartres or Troyes. All accessible by train.

Annabelle Simms wrote a book called One Hour From Paris. You can get it on Amazon. It contains 13-15 day trips all made via metro from Paris center. It also has directions, suggested walking routes, a short history and restaurants in the town. It%26#39;s a good book for anyone who will be staying in Paris long enough to venture outside the city.

My boyfriend and I just returned from Paris on Tuesday evening and took a day trip to Versailles. It definitely was worth it and since you%26#39;ll be there in the summer...all of the fountains will be flowing and the grounds will be beautiful with the trees and flowers.

Have you been to Paris before? With just 5 days I would plan only one 1/2 day or day trip. Give yourself time to soak up the city. My first 5 day trip I did Versaille,my second 6 day trip I did Giverny, my recent 5 day trip I stayed in the city (but was there for a wedding so time was limited) and did some off the beaten path things.

Happy Travels!!

Thank you so much for all your input. So much information my head is spinning ...... good thing we don%26#39;t leave until July.
