All about Île-de-France

When to visit

Summer is undoubtedly the busiest time in Île-de-France. National holidays like Bastille Day see cities and towns light up with fireworks and celebrations; the Tour de France brings out the cycling fans; and festivals like the Fête de la Musique prompt revelry. But if you’re looking to escape the crowds, aim for autumn instead. Versailles and Disneyland Paris won’t be quite so hectic, harvest is taking place in the region’s vineyards, and Paris is most moodily romantic.

Getting around

As Île-de-France’s central hub, Paris is very well-connected. Its three principal airports, Charles de Gaulle, Orly, and Beauvais, link it with international and domestic destinations, as do its six major train stations (Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Gare de l’Est, Gare Saint-Lazare, Gare d’Austerlitz, and Gare Montparnasse). The Métro, RER trains, and various bus lines crisscross the city and to destinations beyond the Périphérique, while Seine River cruises provide a less conventional way to explore.

Traveler tips

Love cheese? You’re in the right place. Île-de-France is home to the town of Meaux, which gives its name to Brie de Meaux: one of the country’s most popular (and geographically protected) cheeses. It’s less than an hour by direct train from the Gare de l’Est to Meaux, where you can head to the Maison du Brie de Meaux to learn about its history and production (and then venture to a local restaurant or cheesemonger to do some sampling).
