Though the guidebook indicates there is a map of the Metro system of Paris in the front of the book, there was not in the copy I received.

A reviewer commented that Versailles does not provide free access. This is not correct. France has a disabled card that shows medical qualification for this access. If you are from outside of the country, you need a physician's written statement of your disability. We have one that states my daughter requires a chair for long distances and a walker for close distances. The physician's prescription gets free admission for my daughter and one companion at all museums including Versaille. I've included the direct quote from Versaille before our trip:

Normaly the pushchairs are not alowed inside the chateau of Versailles but we will inform the persons at the reception, in order that they let you enter with the pushcair. When you arrive at the château, there is a priority entry near the chapel. It's the door H. The entry is free for your daughter and an other person if you have a written proof.
