Rambouillet is situated in the Yvelines region and is a charming small town approx 44 km outside of Paris. Surrounded by a huge green forest, the region has mostly fresh clean air with some pollution from farming chemicals and a few factories. The poor man’s Versailles for now, but will soon become the next Versailles in terms of buying a property or investment. Prices are rising in and around Rambouillet and will reach the same levels as Versailles within a few years.
The main town has one decent hotel the Mercure that’s situated next to the beautiful park and chateau. There are a handful of good restaurants and cafes and many good butchers and bakeries. Rambouillet is approx thirty mins away from Chartres. If you like peace, clean air and love biking, Rambouillet is the holiday or relocation destination for you.
The town is served by an intermittent train service that at times seems to creak under the strain with cancellations and regular delays from SNF. However, it takes only approx 40 mins to reach Paris from Rambouillet. The area is peaceful and people are usually friendly and polite. Contact me.
