Walk · 1 h · free · cobbled streets, the Carrés Saint-Louis and the cathedral

The district south of the palace is the quietest in Versailles: cobbled lanes, an Ancien Régime atmosphere and the Carrés Saint-Louis, blocks of low houses that were built as a market. In the middle, the Cathedral of Saint-Louis.
How to do it
Leave the Place d'Armes by Rue de Satory and carry on to the cathedral; return via the Carrés and Rue Royale. If it is Thursday or Saturday morning, there is a Saint-Louis market from 7:30 to 13:30, with organic producers on Saturdays. The tourist office organises guided visits of the historic districts.
