The French region of History
There are several historic chateaus that have priceless cultural artefacts just outside Paris. Whilst you stay in France, you can visit the fantastic Chateau de Malmaison, which is just 12 km away from the main city of Paris. This is the place where Josephine and Bonaparte once stayed. If you are particularly interested in the history of France, you should not miss the Palace of Versailles and the monumental building that served as the monarchy’s seat of power in 1882. Visit on your French self-catering holidays and see its lavish rooms, breathtaking architecture and is set on the marvellous landscaped grounds, which in themselves are worth a visit.
Culture and cuisine whilst self-catering
It is unsurprising that Île-de-France is so culturally rich with Paris being its capital. Book your villa or cottage and see age old galleries showcasing French art throughout time, play a game of pentanque with the locals, visit the ballet or watch a French film on your holidays. See amazing churches and the palace of Versailles in the town of its namesake, or simply rent a French holiday home anywhere to explore the world-renowned French cuisine. If you are wondering what to eat in Île-de-France, try regional specialties like the Croque Monsieur, frog legs, Brie on a French baguette or onion soup.
Family holidays in Île-de-France
This region of France is not all museums and historic buildings, although if this is what your family is into, you have a huge amount to choose from. Of course, Île-de-France is home to Disneyland Paris, where kids can let their imaginations run wild with an array of rides, performances and magical attractions on your family holidays in France. You also have plenty of choice in terms of active holidays, with places like Forest of Fontainbleau offering the ideal environment for biking, hiking or playing games. We also recommend the France Miniature park, where you can see scale models of France from a giant’s perspective on a family day out in Elancort!
