Holiday Rentals in Val-de-Marne - A Guide to Val-de-Marne
The departement of Val-de-Marne is in the region of Ile-de-France, and is located to the south east of Paris. It is named after the Marne river, a tributary of the Seine, which runs from the Champagne region to Paris.
If driving to your holiday rentals in Val-de-Marne, you will probably arrive at Dieppe or Calais, and take the A16 which runs directly to Paris. You can also take the Eurostar to Paris from London St Pancras in just over two hours, or if you prefer to fly, there are daily flights available from many UK airports to Paris Charles de Gaulle.
There are many flights available with the low cost airlines, so it needn’t be an expensive option. Whichever way you choose to travel, the journey to your holiday rentals in Val-de-Marne need not be a financial burden.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Val-de-Marne
Val-de-Marne holiday rentals are ideal for exploring the romantic, cosmopolitan city of Paris. Apartments to rent in Val-de-Marne are the most popular type of holiday rental, and I found a very stylish two bedroom apartment to rent in Vincennes, a commune in the east of Paris.
The apartment is just 4 miles from the centre of Paris, or a short journey on the metro. The apartment has one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and a sofabed, so can sleep up to 6 people. It is very nicely finished inside, and the building itself has recently been renovated and has the added benefit of a lift.
Val-de-Marne apartments to rent are plentiful, but if you are looking for a larger property, how about a 4 bedroom house to rent in Nogent-sur-Marne. The house sleeps 10 people and has 2 bathrooms and 2 separate toilets. It is very nicely furnished and benefits from a private garden. It is just 20 minutes from the centre of Paris and Disneyland, so is ideally situated no matter how you want to spend your holiday.
