Visiting Paris on vacation and want to get out of the city to see the real France? Living in Paris and want to get out and about to explore the areas close to and around Paris?

This site brings together places you can visit from Paris. If you want an afternoon trip, a day trip, or a weekend away, this website gives you some great options for getting out and about in France, beyond Paris.

And because many people who visit Paris, and some of those who live there don't have access to a car, all the day trips on this site are accessible by public transport, mostly by train.

This site is updated regularly with new day trips, new content, new destinations, new excursions, and updates to existing destinations. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or on our blog to keep up to date.
