(Last Update: 30.01.2025) You know what I'm saying? 1.000 villages in France you must see before you die just because there is; We hit the road again, we are wandering around Paris, this village is yours, this village is mine, this time in a small but still very beautiful village. La Roche GuyonWe are taking a break at. My goal is not to get you to come from Paris just to see this village; There are still many things to do in the surrounding area. While we are here, we also stop by this village and get to know La Roche-Guyon together.
La Roche-Guyon (la rosh gion or la ğosh gion) About 75 kilometers northwest of Paris, Normandy at the border, by car You can reach it in about 1 hour. A small but very cute village. Administratively in the same region as Paris, Ile-de-FranceLa Roche-Guyon, which is affiliated with Val d'Oise of the department Pontoise a small town in the city commune. But would I ever send you on the road for a single reason and make you walk all the way in vain? We have two important reasons for you to visit such a small village:
Ya Claude Monet's House in Givernyto see GivernyYou can stop by here on the same day of your trip to , or you can visit the magnificent place in La Roche-Guyon. Château de la Roche-Guyon – La Roche-Guyon CastleWhile you are here to visit, you can also have a pleasant time wandering around here. So, in any case, you should definitely see La Roche-Guyon while you are on your way out of Paris. You will understand what I mean when you look at the photos in this article. Moreover, there is much more to the village than photographs.
unfortunately here There is no way to come by public transport. I mean, of course, you'll get there somehow, but it's not worth embarking on something so painful and tortuous. Driving directions I have to give instead of toll highway, Cergy-Pontoise to follow its route, to continue on your way without deviating after passing there, Magny-en-VaxinTurn left from and enter the village road, omervilleI suggest you turn left from . La Roche-Guyon is on the left on this road, at the bottom of a steep hill. If you don't have GPS, there's a high chance you'll miss it.
come down from above to main street When you reach it, turn right and follow the road; You are already in the village. It may be difficult to find a place to park your car in the tiny square; There is no need. You cannot leave your car wherever you want anyway. Yes, even at the top of the mountain... On your right La Roche Guyon CastleAfter seeing and passing there, it disappeared among the trees on the left. parking lot you will see. You can leave your car here. Then, if you wish, tour the castle or take a short tour of the village first; The choice is yours, but I think you should visit the castle first, get tired, and take a short break in the village to rest.
La Roche Guyon CastleI have already explained in detail. After your wonderful and tiring trip there, going down to the village and drinking a coffee or eating something will be good for you. go down to the village I say because to climb to the tower of the castle built on top of the rocks, A rather steep staircase carved into the rocks You have to go up and down. above too a magnificent view there is. From this point all the villages and Seine River The basin is laid under your feet. And then your knees are shaking So you're going back to the village. That's why I call it fatigue coffee.
in La Roche-Guyon Around 500 people live. Area less than 5 kilometers. Seine River on the coast a village of its own Well, how cute, how beautiful. There were even dance lessons among the course announcements on the notice board, what more can I say? When you enter the streets, you see that each house is different from each other, but they are all in harmony with each other. Especially the columned market place under the town hall, I liked that place the most. When we went, the market had just been put away and the floors had just been washed and dried. I feel myself under that serenity and that sun. like reaching nirvana I felt it and, as you can see in the cover photo of this article, I lay down on the ground and integrated with the stone and the village. Places like this are very good for me; Who knows, maybe it will be good for you too?
There is actually nothing to do in the village other than visiting the castle, eating and wandering around for 15-20 minutes. I say there is nothing to do but this is the place for the French on long hiking trails route; In other words, people come and go from this village on long walks. We just stop by with our cars and leave. In fact, after visiting the castle, you should also see the large garden right below where vegetables, fruits and flowers are grown. It is also possible to see a variety of fruits on the branch depending on the season.
The best place to eat in the village is the creperie. La Cancalaise It looks like that, but we're in a simpler place, the tiny Italian restaurant on the opposite corner. My homeWe ate at . It was more modest, but its owner was very charming. For that reason La Roche Guyon CastleAfter visiting , we decided to eat there. It is not always necessary to eat at the best place, you may have other reasons as well. well. There is also a small patisserie in the village; Moreover, the prices are very affordable, but as I always say: It is not enough to have enough money to eat every beautiful thing we see, you also need a few stomachs to eat everything you like :)
La Roche Guyon CastleTo see and La Roche-Guyon The best time is from the end of April to the end of October It must be time. The castle may be closed during the winter, but that detail should not be overlooked.
I think, after seeing many of the places you want to see in Paris, you should venture out of the city a little. Giverny as, Barbizon as, Province Visit La Roche-Guyon and see with your own eyes how people live in villages and towns and what a village in France is like.
