In the northern part of the Ile de France region, within easy reach to Paris, the Val d'Oise area offers a wide range of tourist sites and leisure activities.
Historical heritage : abbeys, castles, museums and places of memory still attest the presence of remarkable figures who have left a mark over times, from the Roman era to the middle ages, from the Renaissance to the age of Enlightenment, from the XIXth century up to now.
Impressionism : the banks of the Oise river have inspired numerous painters who were trying to capture the colours and the light in the open space. Daubigny, Pissarro, Corot, Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh... and many others have immortalized the countryside on their canvasses : Pontoise, Auvers-sur-Oise, Vétheuil and La Roche-Guyon, among other villages.
Natural ressources : forests, rivers, parks and gardens are domesticated in order to welcome many hikers looking for nature and fresh air. The Parc Naturel Régional du Vexin français extends over a vast territory where agricultural activities, arts and crafts and local traditions are protected by the inhabitants in a preserved environment.
