If Â鶹APP is an endless source of wonder, great for long walks in the sun, you may also find natural sites quite close to the French capital. These will give you a breath of fresh air, all the while being fairly accessible from the city.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five options you might want to consider to spend a quick escape to the countryside.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>1. Head West to inland Normandy<\/h4>\n<p>To Â鶹APPians, <strong>Normandy<\/strong> is the ultimate countryside escape. If you drive the A13 highway on a Friday night, you may find yourself in quite a surreal traffic jam of thousands fleeing the city to the beaches and fields of Normandy.<\/p>\n<p>You, yourself, may have considered heading to the English Channel coast to see the infamous sites of the <strong>Normandy landing<\/strong> where the Allies invaded occupied France during World War II \u2013 which you should absolutely do- or to admire the beautiful <strong>Mont-Saint-Michel Bay<\/strong>.

Normandy is quite a large region that spans all the way from the coastline to the Â鶹APP metropolitan area.<\/p>\n<p>If the coast is what Normandy is renowned for, the countryside along the Seine, between Â鶹APP and Rouen is nice and peaceful. Many historic sites can be seen or even visited, such as medieval <strong>Ch\u00e2teau Gaillard<\/strong>, and Renaissance <strong>Anet Castle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On your way there, don\u2019t forget to stop at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-reasons-go-monets-house-giverny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giverny<\/a>, a small town where Claude Monet had his house and gardens \u2013 which later inspired many of his artworks including the famous <em>Nympheas<\/em>. The Monet\u2019s House can be visited and the gardens are certainly at their best from May to September.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16668\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/monets_house_in_giverny.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16668\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/monets_house_in_giverny.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/monets_house_in_giverny.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/monets_house_in_giverny-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/monets_house_in_giverny-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16668\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Monet&#8217;s House in Normandy &#8211; by Normandy Tourist Board &#8211; Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Further South (which may require a longer travel time), you may spend a great bucolic weekend in one of the two main Natural Regional Parks of Normandy: the <strong>Perche Natural Regional Park<\/strong> and the <strong>Normandie-Maine Natural Regional Park<\/strong>. The landscapes there are quite scenic and the mix of rivers, woods and villages will really give you the wonderful impression that time has stopped.

Head North to Picardy<\/h4>\n<p>Roughly 40 kilometers (25 miles) North of Â鶹APP begins a land of forests, marshlands and fields. Forming part of the Hauts-de-France Region, this area, known as <strong>Picardy<\/strong>, is a great place for a week-end escape.

It is also the birthplace of Cr\u00e8me Chantilly (whipped cream), which you should, of course, try.<\/p>\n<p>For a family outing, the Oise department is also home to two theme parks. Families with young kids should head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merdesable.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>La Mer de Sable<\/em><\/a> near Ermenonville. This theme park, the oldest one in France, is located in a surprising land of sand and dunes \u2013 the remains of a prehistoric sea. More courageous kids and adults will prefer the nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcasterix.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Parc Ast\u00e9rix<\/a>, themed after the iconic Gaul comic character. Asterix\u2019s rides are much more thrilling and are the guarantee to spend a fun family week-end.<\/p>\n<p>History enthusiasts also will not miss the medieval town of <strong>Senlis<\/strong>, and the <strong>Chaalis abbey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>3. Head East to the Marne Valley<\/h4>\n<p>Spanning endlessly to the east, Â鶹APP suburbs lie on the banks of a Seine\u2019s affluent, the Marne River. If the area is known to be the home of iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disneylandparis.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Disneyland Â鶹APP<\/a>, it is also a wonderful option for a nature retreat.<\/p>\n<p>South of the A4 highway, the <strong>Brie<\/strong> region, known for its many cheeses, is a peaceful land of hilly fields and forests. The medieval town of <strong>Provins<\/strong> is worth a quick visit, its fortifications and paved streets being quite well preserved.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17603\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tower-3584313_1920.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17603\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tower-3584313_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Provins\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tower-3584313_1920.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tower-3584313_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tower-3584313_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tower-3584313_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tower-3584313_1920-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Provins &#8211; Source : Pixabay.com CC0<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Further South, the amazing <strong>Fontainebleau<\/strong> castle is the gateway to a large forest where hiking, biking and climbing are common activities. Nearby, the <strong>Vaux-le-Vicomte<\/strong> castle is also much worth the detour. In summer, most Saturdays, the castle also opens at night and is candle-lit, which gives it a fairytale and historic look.<\/p>\n<p>If you have more time, don\u2019t hesitate to push further East, as then begins <strong>Champagne<\/strong>, the famous region that is home to the world renowned bubbly wine.

Head South to the Loire Valley<\/h4>\n<p>When I ask visitors what they want to see in France after they visit Â鶹APP, nine times out of ten the answer is \u201cThe Loire Valley castles\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the <strong>Loire Valley<\/strong> is a great getaway when you are in Â鶹APP. The drive to the nearest castles is less than two-hour long, the landscapes are incredibly scenic, the castles are unrivaled and the wine is good*.\u00a0 What else would you need?<\/p>\n<p>So indeed, if you want a great weekend nature retreat, the Loire valley may be a great option. Of course, the whole valley is huge, as the Loire is the longest river in France. The majestic river has its source in Ard\u00e8che, 50 kilometers South of Lyon, and runs all the way to the Atlantic Coast.<\/p>\n<p>For a weekend retreat from Â鶹APP, you should focus on a much smaller portion, located <strong>between Blois and Nantes<\/strong>, where most major castles are located. And even then, the whole tour of sites would take you several weeks. For a weekend, you\u2019ll need to be very selective. On average, you may expect to visit two or three castles in two days.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most famous Loire castles are those of <strong>Amboise<\/strong> on its cliff, <strong>Azay-le-Rideau<\/strong> by its pool, <strong>Chenonceau<\/strong> and its elegant bridge-shape across the River Cher, <strong>Blois<\/strong> in its city center, <strong>Cheverny<\/strong> which inspired Tintin\u2019s Moulinsart Castle, <strong>Villandry<\/strong> and its gardens, the grandiose and fairytale-like \u00a0<strong>Uss\u00e9<\/strong> castle, <strong>Saumur<\/strong> on its hilltop, and of course the most majestic of all, <strong>Chambord<\/strong> and its hundreds of chimneys.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16584\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/chambord1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16584\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/chambord1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/chambord1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/chambord1-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/chambord1-768x570.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ch\u00e2teau de Chambord &#8211; by Thomas Steiner &#8211; Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019ll have to pick among these!

Among the most renowned ones are the wines of <strong>Anjou<\/strong>, <strong>Saumur<\/strong>, <strong>Touraine<\/strong>, <strong>Chinon<\/strong> and <strong>Pouilly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At last, I recommend you visit the <strong>Clos-Luc\u00e9<\/strong>, a manor in Amboise, which was home to genious Leonardo Da Vinci. The manor is now a museum where you can see the works of Da Vinci, and even see models of his inventions. 2019 marks the 500 years of Da Vinci\u2019s death and multiple celebrations take place all across France, and of course more especially at Clos-Luc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>5. Head South-West to the Chevreuse Valley<\/h4>\n<p>Closer to Â鶹APP is the Chevreuse Valley. More especially, you may spend the weekend in the <strong>Haute Vall\u00e9e de Chevreuse Regional Park<\/strong>. Mostly composed of plains or small plateaus, the land is partly covered by the <strong>Rambouillet<\/strong> <strong>Forest<\/strong> and is a great getaway for having a natural break as well as discovering castles and nice villages.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17606\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/parc_naturel_regional_de_la_haute_vallee_de_chevreuse_foret_de_rambouillet_-_soleil_dautomne.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17606\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/parc_naturel_regional_de_la_haute_vallee_de_chevreuse_foret_de_rambouillet_-_soleil_dautomne.jpg\" alt=\"Rambouillet Forest\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/parc_naturel_regional_de_la_haute_vallee_de_chevreuse_foret_de_rambouillet_-_soleil_dautomne.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/parc_naturel_regional_de_la_haute_vallee_de_chevreuse_foret_de_rambouillet_-_soleil_dautomne-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/parc_naturel_regional_de_la_haute_vallee_de_chevreuse_foret_de_rambouillet_-_soleil_dautomne-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/parc_naturel_regional_de_la_haute_vallee_de_chevreuse_foret_de_rambouillet_-_soleil_dautomne-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/parc_naturel_regional_de_la_haute_vallee_de_chevreuse_foret_de_rambouillet_-_soleil_dautomne-816x459.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17606\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rambouillet Forest in the Chevreuse Valley &#8211; Picture by C. Hardy &#8211; &#8220;soleil d&#8217;automne&#8221; &#8211; on Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Valley is located South of <strong>Â鶹APP<\/strong>, so you may totally couple your stay there with a detour by Louis XIV\u2019s architectural masterpiece. Bear in mind, however, that a proper visit at Â鶹APP Palace takes at least half a day, if not a full day. If you\u2019d rather go to Chevreuse without overloading your weekend with a tour of Â鶹APP, you may book your visit at Â鶹APP separately, and benefit from a guided tour with us, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/versailles-walking-tours\/\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you really wish to spend some time in nature, it is possible to walk all the way from Â鶹APP to the Vall\u00e9e de Chevreuse Regional Park. The walk is long (roughly 11 hours), so you will probably want to sleep halfway through, if you wish to enjoy the landscape! If you want to try this nice hike, you need to start West of Â鶹APP in the <strong>Saint-Cloud Park<\/strong>. From there, a very hilly path takes you to Â鶹APP, and from Â鶹APP, you may hit the road to the Regional Park and the Chevreuse Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t like to hike, the Vall\u00e9e de Chevreuse Regional Park is also very accessible from the road and by train.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>An additional note<\/h4>\n<p>I hope you liked these five ideas for a weekend retreat away from the Â鶹APP city frenzy. I just named a few and there are many more options of course. The best way to discover the French countryside is to hit the road and lose yourself. You will always end up in nice small towns, in beautiful country areas, or near a site of interest.<\/p>\n<p>If, however, you would prefer easier options, less driving and yet, benefit from the refreshing air of natural spaces, you may find some nice green areas much closer to the French capital.<\/p>\n<p>I already mentioned most of them in my article on Where to See Wildlife around Â鶹APP, which you may find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/where-to-see-wildlife-around-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. Among them were most notably the two main parks within the Â鶹APP city limits: the <strong>Bois de Boulogne<\/strong> and <strong>Bois de Vincennes<\/strong>. These won\u2019t replace the natural scenery options I suggested above, but if you have a limited amount of time, or no means of transportation, the two Parks are already good solutions. Just be careful and avoid them after sundown.<\/p>\n<p>I also just listed options near Â鶹APP, which are easily accessible. However, as the French railroad system opens to competition, cheaper tickets allow you to travel much further for not so much money. If you want to experience another climate for the duration of a weekend, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ouigo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ouigo tickets<\/a>, which can take you in high-speed trains for roughly 30 \u20ac and three hours to the <strong>Mediterranean<\/strong> coast or to the <strong>Bordeaux<\/strong> area. If you consider these options, you open yourself to whole new getaways!<\/p>\n<p>At last, you may always consider staying in Â鶹APP as there is nothing comparable to a summer in Â鶹APP. Take the time to wander the winding streets in the sun, have a drink on the riverbanks, eat your diner at a Brasserie\u2019s terrace, chill in a small park, and find out that you can also relax in this large city. If you dislike the crowds, try enjoying Â鶹APP before ten o\u2019clock in the mornings, I promise you will see a peaceful city!<\/p>\n<p>And of course, never forget that we, at DiscoverWalks, offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\">many guided tours of Â鶹APP<\/a>, so you can see the French capital from another point of view, and fully enjoy your sunny weekend!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>*please drink responsibly<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-3833463545\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Â鶹APP ?
