What this video covers

Wenceslao and Sylvie, currently living aboard their sailboat in a marina in L'Isle-Adam, France, spend several days exploring Paris and the Palace of Versailles. To reach the city center, the crew commutes 90 minutes by train from their boat, noting that late-night returns often require bus transfers when train service ends.14:13 Their itinerary includes visiting the Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre, the rooftop terrace of the Galeries Lafayette for panoramic views of the Palais Garnier and the Eiffel Tower, and a Starbucks housed within a historic building.9:00 On July 5, 2024, they travel to the Palace of Versailles.12:46 Because they arrive late in the afternoon, they opt to pay 10 euros per person for garden access rather than the 32-euro entry fee for the palace interior, which closes shortly after their arrival.20:26 They conclude their tour at the replica Statue of Liberty in Paris.30:59 The crew emphasizes the necessity of comfortable walking shoes for navigating the city and recommends dedicating a full day to properly explore the extensive grounds of Versailles.13:13
