Help! I have heard that many people regard Fontainebleau as good or better than Versailles as a tourist site to visit? Could anybody comment on or compare the 2 places? If you had time to visit one which would you choose?

I do only have time to do one, and I%26#39;m doing Versailles. For me, a lot of it stems from when I was there in %26#39;92... we got to spend most of a day at Fontainbleau and only a couple hours at Versailles. I also just remember Versailles as being more... %26quot;my thing%26quot;. Sorry that I can%26#39;t quantify it better.
If you can possibly work it in, do both. Or, do the other on your next trip!

Versailles was a masterpiece of its time and remains one of the grandest Palaces in the world. Fountainbleau is perhaps more charming and the scale is certainly easier to digest with more manageable crowds.
If I had to see only one in my entire lifetime, well, seeing the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles was a breathtaking experience for me.
It really comes down to personal choice and you will never know until you have seen them both.

I decided to go to Versailles as I can only see one myself. However, I did hear the hall of mirrors is under construction. They are leaving a small portion open to the public for viewing.

Was in Versailles last week, yes the Hall of Mirrors is under major renovation (bummer).
