Close to the romance and splendour of central Paris, approximately 16 miles away, is the Seine-et-Marne department commune of Chelles. Perfectly combining natural and historical heritage, it is a great place to stay if you want to visit Paris, but have your base outside of the city centre. The area has plenty of green spaces and picturesque walkways for you to discover, and you'll find that hiring a car from Chelles will enhance your experience as you will be able to explore the wider area and the French capital of Paris with ease.
If you're looking for an attraction that offers perfect photography opportunities and more, then head to the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Just hire a car from Chelles and take the brisk 30 minute car journey into Paris. This outdoor venue has a diverse range of animals that will enchant all of the family.
If day-tripping to Paris, be sure to take in the magnificence of the Grand Palais located close to the Champs-Élysées. Without a doubt, this is an exceptional architectural wonder that is just as beautiful as the art it stores within.
