French castles

Apart from the Palace of Versailles are there any other worthwhile Plaaces to visit within a couple of hours of Paris?



Thanks

Not too many: only Fontainebleau, Compiegne, Pierrefonds, Chantilly, Vaux le Vicomte.. There are others but they are privately owned. There are also quite a few former private mansions in Paris, most of them now turned into museums, that are of course way much smaller than Versailles but still quite grand: Hotel Sale, Hotel Carnavalet, Hotel de Soubise, Hotel de Sens, Hotel de Cluny, Hotel de Sully etc. etc. (no they aren%26#39;t tourist hotels at all..).

The Loire Valley is only about 2.5 hours away from Paris and there are dozens of Chateaux there.
