Holiday Rentals in Essonne - A Guide to Essonne
Holiday rentals in Essonne are situated in the Ile-de-France region of France, which also contains the capital city of Paris.
Essonne is to the south of Paris, and if you are driving to your Essonne holiday rental, you will find it rather easy from either Calais or Dieppe. You may choose to take the Eurostar, in which case you will be able to go directly into Paris Gare du Nord and take the RER (Paris’ rapid transport system) direct to Evry, which houses the prefecture (central governing department) for Essonne.
You can also fly into Paris Charles De Gaulle airport from many UK airports with the low cost airlines such as Easyjet and Flybe, meaning that you can reach your holiday rental in Essonne in no time at all, without spending a fortune.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Essonne
Because of the location, Essonne holiday rentals are ideal for sightseeing in and around Paris. Being in an urban setting, the most popular type of holiday rentals are one bedroom apartments to rent in Essonne or two bedroom apartments to rent in Essonne.
I came across a very pretty one bedroom apartment to rent in Draveil which has the benefit of a garden with barbeque. The apartment sleeps up to four people as it also has a double sofa bed as well as a double bedroom, so it would be suitable for a couple or a family of four.
It really is a fantastic location for seeing the sights of Paris, and of course is more cost effective and private than a hotel. It’s also a treat to have a garden in such a central location, and I like the idea of having breakfast outside on the terrace before a day spent in the hustle and bustle of this wonderful city.
I have researched many Essonne apartments to rent and there is quite a lot of variety available in terms of apartment size, style and level of comfort, and many different areas in which to stay. So, if you are looking for an excellent location near to Paris and perfect for a city break, a holiday rental in Essonne will be just your thing.
