Saint-Quentin en Yvelines is named after Saint Quentin Pond and is one of the original five new towns of Paris in the French department of Yvelines. The region attracts enormous numbers of tourists throughout the year due to its proximity to Versailles. The architecture of Palace of Versailles, Grand Trianon palace and the estate of Marie Antoinette are some of the popular tourist sites in the region. Another interesting spot is Grand Canal of Versailles, the largest basin in the garden of Palace of Versailles. It is in the shape of a cross and is a must-visit for tourists. France Miniature park is another recommended spot for tourists, especially those traveling with children. It stations 160 outdoor mini models of France’s famous monuments and landmarks, such as the renowned Eiffel Tower, Versailles and Lourdes. Animated trains and boats also run across the park.
For those interested in combining art with history, Musee National de Port-Royal des Champs is an art museum in Yvelines, which displays several paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. Meanwhile, Hall of Mirrors is one of the most visited destinations because of its grandeur. The hall is magnificent with minute detail on the ceilings and framed mirrors. The light and reflections from the windows, chandeliers and mirrors will leave you stunned.
