Chars

Paris, the country's capital, is situated 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of Chars.

Ile-de-France is a firm fixture on the tourist trail, which means getting from A to B is simple. Be sure give yourself plenty of time to discover the numerous scenic and cultural wonders this region offers. Be sure to head out to the Neuville Lakes Water Sports Area and St Christophe Business Park in Cergy, approximately 10 miles (16 kilometers) distance away. Another idea is to make your way over to Gisors. It's about 11 miles (18 kilometers) from Chars and is home to the Saint Gervais and Saint Protais Cathedral and Chateau de Gisors.

Around 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the southeast of Chars is Paris, a regional city where you go see Pont Notre-Dame, Paris Olympia and Jardins de Bercy. Paris has lots to offer those keen to linger. Musee Nissim de Camondo, Place Vendome and Ecole normale superieure are just a couple of the other sights worth a visit.

A great way to learn about a spot is by researching its past. While in Ile-de-France, be sure to tour the area's historic mansions. On a fine day, head outside to experience Ile-de-France's gardens and open-air markets.

Sometimes, the most enjoyable way to get a feel for a place is by using the knowledge of the locals. The region offers some very informative culinary tours and city walking tours.

Sadly, vacations rarely last forever, but be rest assured, when it's time to say "Au revoir / À bientôt", you'll be leaving with photos, memories and mementos to treasure.
