When you live in Paris or its inner suburbs, it's hard to enjoy the fresh air and a bit of greenery. Fortunately, the Île-de-France region is large and its landscapes varied, making it possible to go green in the countryside, less than an hour from the capital.
Hotels, B&Bs, country houses, gîtes... Accommodation in the heart of nature is ready to welcome you to take a breather from the crowds and the polluted air. Often more family-friendly than intramural accommodations, these estates sometimes offer wellness areas and outdoor swimming pools, as well as bike rentals for exploring the surrounding country lanes in the best possible way.
In a calm and peaceful atmosphere, you can wake up to the sound of chirping birds and let yourself be carried away by a short weekend alone, with friends or as a couple, before setting off again in top form. And why not take the opportunity to try your hand at tennis, horse-riding or golf, activities that are often close to these country houses?
Ideal for Parisians looking for a change of scenery close to the capital, but also for tourists who want to stay close to Paris while enjoying the benefits of the great outdoors, without the hustle and bustle of the city!
