No doubt the Sun King himself would have tasted the attraction.
With the wind, the landscapes pass by: Moret-sur-Loing, the small medieval town; the bocage of Gâtinais, the valleys of the Seine, Yonne or Loing dotted with its many locks. From the basket, the Ile de France reveals forgotten and sometimes even unsuspected charms.

Leisure Activities around Fontainebleau, Ile de France
800 years of history! Fontainebleau is not the castle of a sovereign, but that of each of them, a “family home” of the kings of France, handed down from generation to generation from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is the creation of three artists brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, superintendent of finances to Louis XIV: the gardener André Le Nôtre, the architect Louis Le Vau and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun. Resulting from the fraternal genius of these three men, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a model whose majesty and balance will inspire the Palace of Versailles and the whole of Europe for centuries.
Today the Vogüé family is a model of commitment and passion, determined to preserve this historical heritage and to share this masterpiece with its visitors.
A medieval fortress in a charming village! An exceptional and rare site that takes you back to the 13th century. A wonderfully restored stronghold, unique in Île-de-France.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this medieval city owes its fame to the famous Champagne fairs in the 12th and 13th centuries, when all of Europe flocked to sell and buy fabrics, spices and other foodstuffs.
800 years later, the city with remarkably well-preserved fortifications has lost none of its epic atmosphere. Punctuated from April to November with its colorful shows, its Medieval festival in June and its Christmas market, Provins promises you a real dive into the heart of the Middle Ages without leaving the 21st century.
