Iie De France

If tourist-infested, muggy, urban Paris starts to get on your nerves, the Ile de France--with its rural pace, peaceful villages, and impressive châteaux--might just be the ideal escape. On summer weekends, Parisians flock to the forests and small towns of the Ile de France, while tourists head to its more famous sights, such as the palace at Versailles or the cathedral at Chartres. Prices for food and lodging skyrocket, but you can get by if you picnic--one of the best ways to enjoy the countryside--and stay in the hostels that have sprung up in towns like Chartres and Giverny.
