Holiday Rentals in Oise - A Guide to Oise
The department of Oise is located in the French region of Picardie in the northern part of France. The location means that holiday rentals in Oise are very accessible for visitors from the UK.
It is closest to the ferry ports of Calais, Dieppe, Boulogne and Le Havre, and you can reach the area in less than two and a half hours. You can also fly to Beauvais from the UK, and at the time of writing this article, Ryanair offered a service from several airports in the UK.
You can reach Beauvais by car from central Paris in around an hour or by train from Gare de Nord in about an hour and a half, and this proximity to Paris makes options for reaching your Oise holiday rentals more plentiful.

Types of Holiday Rentals in Oise
Houses to rent in Oise are the most popular type of holiday rental and whilst writing this article I came across a very quaint little 1 bedroom gite which sleeps 2 people. It is equipped with all necessary items and would serve as an excellent base from which to explore the area.
If you are looking for something for a larger group, then a further search of Oise houses to rent found a traditional manor house just half an hour from Paris which has the added benefit of a pool. The property has 4 bedrooms and sleeps up to 8 people, with 3 bathrooms and 3 separate toilets. The house is fully equipped and has a pretty garden with a terrace and barbeque.
In general I found that there were fewer holiday rentals in Oise than in other areas, but the properties I found were of a good standard and are, of course, conveniently located for travel from the UK and to the capital city of Paris. This area could be a good option for families wanting to have a holiday which combines sightseeing in Paris with a visit to the theme parks in and around Oise.
Oise Useful Information

A famous tourist attraction is Beauvais Cathedral which was built in the 13th century but partially collapsed 12 years after completion. Since then, various measures have been put in place to secure the building and studies are being undertaken to try to preserve the building.
The department includes the famous Parc Asterix, an amusement park based on the Asterix stories. It is famous for its roller coasters and has remained popular despite Disneyland Paris being only around 20 miles away. So if you are travelling with young children, you will be ideally situated to explore both of these theme parks.
