Your travel guide to Ile-de-France
With around 12 million inhabitants, Île-de-France is the most populous region of the country. Although many in the region head elsewhere for their own summer holidays, there is plenty of attractions, activities and things to do that it can offer visitors from outside, not least one of the most visited cities in the world, the French capital city of Paris. The Seine, The Oise and the Marne all pass through Île-de-France and the area has some outstanding woodland as well as its urban centres. Île-de-France has many places which are set up for tourists, such as the famous Disneyland Resort but our local hoteliers are the perfect guide for you to find unique attractions and things to do.

Transports in Ile-de-France

WHEN TO GO TO ILE-DE-FRANCE ?
Paris, with many famous sights, like the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, is often said to be at its most attractive in the spring. It is quieter in the summer, however, when many city dwellers choose to head south. A theatrical festival takes place in the town of Étampes in June and a Baroque music festival is staged in September in the town of Pontoise, north-west of Paris.
