I really enjoy the town of Versailles, although I have never been to the palace. The town has some nice green spaces and, if you are looking for a place to stay nearby Paris then I think it could be a contender. I enjoy how quiet it is, it seems like a lot of families live here.

Versailles is a very safe city with very nice inhabitants. The police are present there and provide a safe environment for tourists, young girls and those who walk at night. I've never heard of any aggression

Very safe place, never had any issue. I walk alone at night and never had a problem in months. It's a lot of tourists and a lot of family who lives there. Very Catholic and wealthy city so the crime rate is very low.

About me

French girl living in Versailles. I've lived most of my life in France but I also worked in Hamburg, Germany for a few years. In 2015, I quit my job and I took a little more than a year to travel around Asia, Oz and NZ. 2019, repeat (quit my job again), but just for a 5 months trip in Korea and Japan where I had an amazing CS experience. Today I travel as much as I can, a long weekend every now and then, either to discover a new place or to visit friends I enjoy hiking, love trying new food (its a whole part of traveling), wandering without precise goal.. And most importantly I love craft beer ;) ! https://www.facebook.com/kmstonelli (vivi elli) IG : wanderthroughviviseyes CS : https://couchsurfing.page.link/4rrfMnVekUXP84bL7
