Sherre what metro or rer station is your hotel closest to?

Its dead simple to take the Rer C to versailles , we just need tipo figure out how to route you to that line from your hotel.

Go on this site. Scroll down to Chateaux from paris.

www.parisbytrain.com/

If that link doesnt work go to Paris by Train, its the best website to learn about transport in paris

No 5 Metro 2 stops to Gare d'Austerlitz, then RER C to Versailles Rive Gauche. Watch the monitors at the RER platform to make sure you get on the right train.

And if visiting the Chateau get the train that gets you there at least half an hour before the chateau opens as the security lines are crazy later in the day.

Sheree,

One other tip - the RER train to Versailles has the word "Vick" above the driver's window.

The first time you travel on the metro get a free map (plan) from the information window. 'Bon jour. Uh plahhn see voo play. Merci.' That way you can answer this kind of question for any place you want to go.
