Etampes is one of the nicest places from which to explore Paris and the surrounding Ile-de-France region. The medieval and renaissance architecture help to give the town a laid back, old-world character which is unusual for somewhere so near a metropolitan hub such as Paris. Obviously proximity to the capital is one of Etampes' major selling points, but then there's also the fact that the Loire Valley and Disneyland Paris are both achievable for those that take up car hire in Etampes. Hiring a car in Etampes is available from the town itself, as well as Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport, amongst other locations.
