Dufthof (Cour des Senteurs)

A popular day trip from Paris, Versailles tends to attract visitors to its royal palace, and many never venture beyond its grounds. If you have the time to spare, get off the beaten path with a guided tour of the historic town of Versailles by horse and carriage, which typically includes stops at the Court of Scents, along with the Church of Notre-Dame, Place d’Armes, Potager du Roi, and the Versailles Cathedral.

Highlights of the Court of Scents include an orange blossom-perfumed fountain, the only Guerlain store in France outside Paris, and Maison Fabre, the only place in the world to purchase replicas of Marie Antoinette's two-toned, perfumed gloves.
