Discover Île-de-France
A whole region to explore
Île-de-France is far more than central Paris. Beyond the capital lie Versailles, Fontainebleau, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, riverside towns, forests, market villages and easy day-trip country.
For visitors who want culture and city life without staying in the centre, the wider region offers excellent rail access, grand historic estates and green landscapes while keeping Paris within reach.
