Ezyshuttle

easy and reliable airport transfer company. service from CDG/BVA airports and Paris city to and from Disneyland Paris. 8/9 seater minibuses, carseats provided for children at no extra charge

Reviewed By whamma - Rockford, United States

We used Ezyshuttle for transportation from the city of Paris to Disneyland Paris and on another day from Disneyland Paris to CDG Airport. The drivers were right on time and friendly. The drive was safe and comfortable. Ezyshuttle communicated with me via text message the day prior for each trip (which I had scheduled a few weeks ahead via email communication). I would highly recommend this company!

Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Vaux le Vicomte is the creation of three men brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, Louis 14th's finance minister, the landcape architect Andre le Nôtre, the architect Louis le Vau and the painter-decorator Charles le Brun. The perfect harmony between architecture and landscape is the result of their collaborative genius. From its unveiling at the famous fête of august 17th, 1661, Vaux le Vicomte aroused the envy of the Sun King and became the model that inspired the whole of Europe, including Versailles.Vaux le Vicomte can be visited during the day or at night with 2000 candles (on Saturdays from may to beginning of october)Easy access by train or by bus from paris.

Breathtaking chateau SE of Paris reached by train and free bus.Finished in 1661 by architect Fouquet in Louis IV style, it blends magnificent landscaping and interior design with the classic architecture. An audible tour is available and worthwhile. Most of the chateau including the top tower and the ornately decorated rooms can be accessed. Much of chateau at Versailles was copied from here. There were not too many visitors when we went. A quaint little cafe and a tempting shop are also available.

Chateau de Fontainebleau

With over 1500 rooms at the heart of 130 acres of parkland and gardens, Fontainebleau is the only royal and imperial château to have been continuously inhabited for seven centuries. A visit to Fontainebleau opens up an unparalleled view of French history, art history and architecture.

Reviewed By Ivisitedtheplace - Israel, null

I visited this place... with my wife, Mrs. H. It was her choice and decision to come here- full disclosure: I’m not sure that I remembered or knew anything about this place from my knowledge of French history. We had been to Versailles in 1982 and I had read on TripAdvisor (hey-is there anything else that I do?) about the crowds and lines at the other place, so this became our destination. The palace is included in the Paris Museum Pass and the entire round trip journey is included in the weekly Navigo Decouverte pass. Total extra cost then for this excursion: zero zip zilch effes. As you know from reading my previous review, we departed from Gare de Lyon. Our train was cancelled and delayed, so we had some extra 30 minutes of waiting time (and you can see my photos of that to know what I did and saw during that time). So we took the 40 minute train journey and the city bus (passing a sign regarding a historic synagogue that we did not visit). The mansion boasts 1500 rooms and it is obvious that only a section is in use for exhibition. Mrs. H and I had a disagreement as to whether we visited either forty or fifty rooms. At the entrance, there are key pad lockers to store your stuff- be sure to do that- it makes the wandering quite bearable. Now overall, the place and the palace and the building and all the rooms and all the amazing stuff on display are quite remarkable. But the lighting leaves quite a lot to be desired- maybe the goal is the actual illumination during the days and era when the place was in active royal use. As is known and as is stated in my headline for this review, this was the famous and beloved and very frequented palace and royal residence of the one and only Napoleon Bonaparte himself (see my reviews and photos of the magnificent painting of his coronation in my Louvre review and my comments and photos of his sarcophagus and tomb in my Musée de l’Invalides review- both submitted within the last month or so (December 2019). Anyway- being a person quite interested in history and who simply loves and craves being in historical places, this visit was outstanding and amazing and breath taking- primarily because- and I admit- I didn’t know what I was going to be seeing. So now I am about to ruin the shock value for you- read on, my friend. The rooms and the stuff in them were amazing and unbelievable. To chance upon an amazing historical piece that I did not expect- so exciting and incredible- leaving me almost breathless- and here are four of the things: Napoleon’s original tri cornered hat!! What’s more incredible than that? I spent some time posing for many selfies with that hat prompted squarely on my patê (you can see his hat in my attached photos, but don’t look for me in my photos submitted here though). And then his guest rooms and the bedroom and baby cradle of his beloved son, and stuff of his wife and then- so amazing and what a fantastic surprise- his throne room with his throne chair, his bedroom with his small bed (hey- Wikipedia says that he was 160 centimeters- not so bad), and then the document room, where he resigned before going into exile. All of this and more were amazing- causing Mrs. H to start sending me WhatsApp messages again, to extract me (just as she had needed to do in the three Monet museums of Marmottan, d’ Orsay and L’Orangerie). Once she succeeded in forcibly extracting me from reveling at being in the very presence and location of iconic Napoleonic history, we went outside to the top of the gardens and lake. Yes- we saw the rowboats. After that, we departed. So please sign up follow me on TripAdvisor to see of my continuing Paris adventures. So please enjoy my many photos showing what I’ve described. And hey- doesn’t this very extensive and detailed review deserve a “like” from you?

Musee de la Grande Guerre

Reviewed By keithhd888 - London, United Kingdom

The way the museum is laid out is different, from the battlefield sound track that plays as you walk through the gate from the car park to walking alongside soldiers going into battle. The soldiers in the glass cases have some half out as though you are walking with them. A lot of the written information is in |French but I believe you can download an app to pick it up in other languages. The displays take you from the late 1800's through to the rise of Hitler, very well thought out.

The Saint-Jean's Gate and The Ramparts

These magnificent structures, which are currently being restored, were built in the 13th century. Growing as the city grew, they protected and surrounded, in the Middle Ages, the entire city of Provins. Today we can admire a beautiful part, and the complexity of the towers, which each have a different shape. Two fortified gates are still visible: the Saint-Jean gate, with its two almond-shaped towers, which defended the old Paris Road; and the Jouy gate, once surmounted by a bell, a small keep with a bell, which made it possible to watch out for the enemy and warn in case of danger.

Reviewed By rittcastillo - Copenhagen, Denmark

These splendid fortified walls built in13th century are really very impressive. The gate’s purpose with its two almond-shaped towers, was to ensure protection of the old road to Paris. Walk alongside these walls and feel the medieval atmosphere of the town. You can also get on top of the wall and enjoy the great view of the town and the fields surrounding the town.

Ferra Botanica

Set in a both remarkable and preserved landscape, the Ferra Botanica is a display of what still is the land as a state of the art. There, you would experience the joys of travelling in a sometimes dense, sometimes more open natural area, along forest and land, for a 7km trip on a railbike. Works of landart, ancient trees, and others installations invite our visitors to get a bit more curious about our environment. On the spot, several services are displayed to fulfill your enchantment : local-products shops, very typical snacking, and of course our team of cheerfull rangers. The duration of your trip depends of what formula you wish to choose, within 2h30 to half a day, or even a night if you wish to experience our nightly events !
