Melun is a 5km drive from Paris and an ideal destination from which to explore the famous Ile-de-France region. There are many reasons to visit Melun: good value hotels, access to Disneyland, the historic Melun town centre, close proximity to the capital, or generally a mixture of all the above. The Church of St Aspais, the Square of St Jean and Notre Dame Collegiate Church all comprise Melun's rustic town centre for those quieter days, but car hire in Melun means you can drive to Paris in an hour, or Disneyland in around 45mins. Hiring a car in Melun is available from the town centre, Orly Airport, and Charles de Gaulle.
The Church of St Aspais, the Collegiate Church of Notre Dame and the imposing Town Hall all help to define Melun's historic character and old-world charm. As much as the town is a great destination, many people come here with the view of hiring a car in Melun and day tripping to Disneyland Paris, or the capital itself. Paris is around 50km away and needs little introduction - the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay and the Musee Rodin all speak for themselves; Disneyland Paris is roughly the same distance on the N36 bearing north-east. Closer to home is the equally commendable Château de Fontainebleau - 17km on the D606. Rent a car in Melun and take in the full scope of Ile-de-France.
