Versailles, the overly extravagant palace built by Louis XIV, is a day trip from Paris, but—especially for teens learning about European history—is worth the time and expense. The ornate Hall of Mirrors remains closed for renovations, but the gardens delight with their terraces, groves, and fountains. The grounds hold dances to classical and baroque music on summer Saturdays and Sundays during the Grande Eaux Musicales (Musical Fountain Displays). –Candyce Stapen
