We will be in France in mid September. We will stay in Paris the first 4 days, staying near the Luxembourg gardens and the last 2 days of our trip on Ile St Louis. I would love to see both locations. Is it possible to see both in one long day? My husband only wants one day away from the city.

Stephanie, With only 6 days in Paris, I'd say just do Versailles. I myself can easily spend the whole day there.

It takes about 1 hr 30 min between them on the train, and neither site is right by a train station. I'd pick one or the other. Spend a day at Versailles, then beg please, please, please honey, can we spend an afternoon at Giverny?

We were in Paris last May, and took day trips to Versailles and Giverny. Each destination was worth a full day.
