Hidden Gem Near Paris｜A Relaxing Half-Day at Château de Maintenon

Who knew such a beautiful place was hidden near Paris? Château de Maintenon is truly a serene retreat. Getting there is super convenient—just take the TER train from Paris Montparnasse to Maintenon station, and it's a short walk from there. This castle was once the residence of Louis XIV's last mistress, and its interior decor and fascinating stories are definitely worth exploring✨ While two hours is enough to tour the castle and garden, I highly recommend staying longer. The garden is spacious and tranquil—perfect for sitting down with a book, daydreaming, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the breeze. The peaceful vibe here is so relaxing, you won't want to leave! With fewer tourists around, you can truly take your time and savor the quiet—a kind of serenity you won't find in the city☕ Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Paris? This is the perfect choice! A half-day trip that's fulfilling yet not rushed.
