In the heart of the region of Saint Germain Boucles de Seine, the river that unites the two banks
Just a few kilometres from the busy capital, the region of Saint Germain Boucles de Seine is dotted with little villages where time seems to stand still. It is a pleasant experience to wander through the old cobblestone streets, stopping to admire the façade of an ancient boutique or an intricately decorated bourgeois house. On a sunny day, it’s the perfect place to sit at a café terrace or explore the forest paths.
