There is an excellent model railway museum in Rambouillet which is easy to drive to from Versailles. It's a while since I visited the museum but I have been told by a friend in France that it is now even better. I am hoping to pay another visit next year. The museum is in 78120 Rambouillet, Yvelines.

So... Are you guys planning to spend holidays? Have you ever been to France before, if so which were those places that you liked most? You can revisit them too. and if you want to explore more places you can hire a guide too.

I seem to remember there might be a fairly big and impressive palace somewhere near Versailles...
