Can’t make it to Versailles in Paris?

🌟Visit the Hotel de la Marine instead! 🌟During my last trip to Paris, I made a point to check out the Hotel de la Marine. Originally the headquarters of the French Navy, it was only open to the public for visits starting in 2020. 🌟The Hotel de la Marine is perfectly located, right next to the Place de la Concorde, in the heart of Paris. 🌟Inside, the Hotel de la Marine is full of French classical court characteristics. It’s even more beautiful than I imagined, with each room exuding classical elegance and exquisite luxury, reminiscent of the equally magnificent Versailles Palace. 🌟In addition to areas like bedrooms and studies, there are also banqueting halls and a spectacular Roman column gallery that are perfect for taking photos. 🌟The best part is that the Hotel de la Marine is not crowded with tourists, making it easy to capture the grand hall with few people, and from the gallery, you can also enjoy views of the Place de la Concorde and the Eiffel Tower. 🌟Another highlight is the free audio guide provided by the Hotel de la Marine, available in Chinese. As you enter each room, the corresponding story is automatically played, offering an immersive experience of the hotel’s past glories and declines. 🌟The whole visit takes about 1-2 hours. It stays open until the evening, but for specific times, check the official website. It’s recommended to book in advance. 🌟If you don’t have time to make a special trip to Versailles in the suburbs, I highly recommend a visit to the Hotel de la Marine. It’s less crowded, and you can still enjoy the lavish French classical court style. #FrenchTravel #Paris #HoteldelaMarine #MuseumCheckIn #CulturalSights #ClassicalArchitecture #CourtStyle
