Paris Ile-de-France Information Guide
The Ile-de-France region includes the city of Paris and the surrounding area. It is one of the smallest regions geographically, covering only 2% of the total area of France, but its 11 million inhabitants, represent almost 19% of the French population, making Ile-de-France one of the most populated urban areas in Europe.
Paris is a beautiful city. It has everything a city lover could possibly desire. Chic little boutiques and huge department stores, wonderful art galleries and performance spaces, superb restaurants, and huge flea and antique markets. There are elegant squares and pretty parks and the Seine must be the most romantic waterfront in the world.
Paris is certainly an ideal place for those living in central London to have a second, albeit second urban, home. It's an easy weekend trip by Eurostar and bought in advance tickets are very cheap. For those used to London, Paris seems a lot smaller and manageable. Even though the Metro map looks like a bowl of spaghetti, it's very fast, efficient, clean and once you get to grips with it, easy to navigate.
