The Island of France is the region of France where Paris is located. Yes, Île de France has more to it than the City of Lights and its world class monuments such as Notre Dame de Paris, the Eiffel tower or Arc de Triomphe, as it is home to some of the most prestigious monuments that can be found in France.
Once you pass the Boulevard Périphérique and head west of Paris, the most important landmarks are without a doubt the Palaces of Versailles and Vaux le Vicomte. Both make for fantastic day tours out of Paris and are a treat for adults and children alike. Lesser known Château de Rueil Malmaison is also an interesting visit especially for those who are interested in the life of Josephine Bonaparte.
Other options for a day out from Paris include the National Archaeology museum in Saint Germain en Laye, the Basilica in Saint Denis where a number of French Kings are buried or the nature park of the Haute Vallée de la Chevreuse and the stunning small town of Rambouillet.
Finally, one cannot speak about the Ile de France region without mentioning the Disneyland Paris theme park. Spend a day with your family in the world renowned park and take in the latest attractions and rides.
