Gîtes Yvelines

To discover near your accommodation

Are you a history buff and more generally a fan of impressive monuments? In the Yvelines, you're in for a treat! There's the not-to-be-missed and prestigious Château de Versailles where it's impossible to remain insensible in front of its grandiose furnishings, its Hall of Mirrors and the Grand Apartments of the King and Queen. Book one of our gites on the clevacances.com website and then make the most of your stay in this town to attend a performance at the Royal Opera. Take a photo of your walk through the gardens of the Château de Versailles. Many other buildings in this département are well worth a visit, including the Collégiale Notre-Dame in Mantes-la-Jolie, the Église Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus in Elisabethville and the Château de Rambouillet. Near your B&B in the 78 region, you'll no doubt have the pleasure of contemplating the works of a wide variety of artists. To do this, plan a visit to the Musée Maurice Denis and the Galerie Bessières during your stay. For travellers with children, we particularly recommend a stopover during your week's holiday at the Musée Rambolitrain, which showcases model railways to perfection. Families will also enjoy a stroll through the Butterfly Greenhouse or a visit to the vast Thoiry Safari Zoo, where you can admire some of the most fascinating species on the planet.

Activities to enjoy near your small or large gîte in the Yvelines

To stretch your legs during your week's holiday, book one of the Clévacances gîtes and set off to explore some of the most beautiful villages in this area. From Chevreuse, where Jean Racine loved to stay, to Les Mesnuls, famous for its Renaissance Château, via the small medieval town of Montchauvet, the choice is yours! As a pied-à-terre, you could book a gîte in the Vallée de Chevreuse or in the heart of the French Vexin, two regional nature parks in the Yvelines.

Another great leisure activity to enjoy with friends and family: water sports. Although it doesn't have a coastline, the département does have a number of bodies of water where Yvelines residents and tourists alike love to recharge their batteries. Try your hand at canoeing at Les Bréviaires, wakeboarding at Poissy or pedal-boating on the Île-de-Loisirs in the Val de Seine. Another great pastime is a round of golf on the course at La-Queue-lez-Yvelines. What's more, if the weather is acting up, you won't get bored trying the Escape Game in Vélizy or Maurepas, located close to your Clévacances gîte.

The terroirs of Ile-de-France amaze all visitors, including the most demanding! Try the Suprême de poule from Houdan, the foie gras from Bazainville and the Reine-Claude from Chambourcy, none of these delicacies will disappoint.

After so much praise, opt to rent a gîte in the Yvelines and your holiday will be unforgettable.
