Top Castles in Paris

If you're on a budget, consider walking from the metro station instead of taking a bus or taxi. It's a pleasant stroll and won't cost you anything!

I recommend checking out the castle dungeons; they're really impressive! Just be ready to duck a lot—those stairways can be tight!

My advice is to visit on a weekday. I made the mistake of going on a Saturday, and it was super crowded. I think if you go on a Tuesday or Wednesday, you'll have a much more peaceful experience.

I suggest grabbing a snack before you go; there are some great cafes nearby, but they can be pricey and crowded. Bring a little something to munch on while you enjoy the castle grounds!

I recommend getting an audio guide instead of a guided tour. It was cheaper and you can go at your own pace. Plus, you can skip the parts you'd rather not linger on. Way better than the group rush!

My advice is to bring a picnic lunch. The gardens are gorgeous, and it's such a treat to relax with some food among the flowers. A nice break from cafe prices

Check out the Luxembourg Gardens if you have some time. I almost skipped them but ended up spending a couple of hours just enjoying the scenery. It's a hidden gem right by the palace!
