We will be staying in Paris near the Louvre. Can you tell me the best way to get to Versailles by train? Do we take a certain metro line to get to a station that gets us there? I've heard of the RER but would like to know more. Best line to take? Froms where in Paris?, etc.

RER C is the best line to take. It follows the river on the left bank so it's convenient to get to from the center. Be sure to board the train to Versailles as there are several trains on that line. And be sure to have a valid ticket all the way to Versailles. A plain metro ticket is not valid all the way. The train station is just a few blocks from the chateau - exit to your right and then left on Avenue des Paris.
