When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in France vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in France are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Versailles, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Local drivers also help tourists who get lost among numerous interchanges. If a driver goes in the same direction, he will certainly propose an inexperienced driver to follow him, and, thus, will “take” him to the right place.
The quality of fuel in the local gas station is approximately the same. However, the prices can be very different. Thus, the difference in the cost of a liter of gasoline can be up to 20 cents. This is very noticeable, especially when you make frequent and long rides.
Savvy drivers are recommended to pay attention to gas stations located in the territory of major shopping malls. Gas stations near such shopping centers as Auchan, E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Intermarche and Casino are considered the cheapest. When tucking a full tank at them, you can save up to 15 euro.

Sightseeing of Versailles, France

When people hear of Versailles, they immediately think of the palace that has become internationally acclaimed as the residence of Louis XIV and as a UNESCO-protected architectural masterpiece. However, Versailles is much more than that. It is a town that was established in the end of the 17th century and is located approximately 10 miles from Paris.

Initially, it was a small village, but Louis XIV decided to turn it into his residence and so the place got wide avenues, first octagonal squares in France, mansions of the aristocracy, and even a grand church. The French Court had some interesting and unusual traditions that may seem unusual for modern people. For example, the ritual of Grand Couvert or a public dinner, during which the King and Queen of France ate their dinner in front of other people. Only members of the royal family were allowed to seat while other people had to stand the whole dinner.

Louis XIV was particularly fond of this performance, so members of the court had to see the king eat while standing almost every evening. Louis XV wasn’t a big fan of such public dinners and liked a more intimate atmosphere. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette added music to these public dinners, so a special platform for musicians appeared in the eating hall. The court life of that time had many interesting traditions. For example, when someone wanted to talk to the king, they couldn’t just knock on his door. Instead, they were obliged to use their left little finger to scratch on the door gently. They had to keep scratching until the king gave them a permission to enter. This was the reason while many noble people of that time grew the nail of the left little finger longer.
