Paris and the surrounding Ile-de-France area is a hugely popular French holiday destination and with good reason. With some of Europe's best known and most iconic sights, what isn't there to love about Paris? Self-catering accommodation in Paris tends to be in the form of holiday apartments and can be hard to find.
Ile-de-France, also known as the Paris region, includes the city of Paris, of course. Landmarks are just as good as you imagined, go see the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre, or take the family to Disneyland Paris. If you want natural beauty, discover the surrounding countryside at destinations such as the Forest of Fontainebleau and the Jardin des Tuileries. Enjoy eating out in stylish, romantic venues.
Staying in self-catering accommodation within Paris city centre can be hard to find. If you're willing to consider the wider Ile-de-France region you may have more luck finding apartments and holiday houses to rent.
