La Roche-Guyon: hotel spot
Hotel near the bank of the Seine in the village of La Roche-Guyon (the département of Val d'Oise, in the Île-de-France region of northern France), on a clear morning in early October 2016. A table and chairs are set up for eating or drinking in the still somewhat warm weather.
La Roche-Guyon is located downriver from Paris, along the northern (right) bank of the Seine and on the slopes and chalk bluffs above it. It is just a little upriver from the confluence of the River Epte with the Seine and thus quite near the border of Normandy. It has been designated as one of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" (The Most Beautiful Villages of France). The village and its surroundings are located within Le Parc naturel régional du Vexin français, a primarily agricultural plateau with river valleys.
(Information from the official commune website and the French Wikipédia entry, both last consulted 16 September 2018.)
After landing at Charles-de-Gaulle (Roissy) Airport northeast of Paris, we spent the first two nights of our 2016 trip in France in this village downriver from Paris, along the northern (right) bank of the Seine. It was just the right distance, near enough to the airport to allow for an easy drive on our first morning, while far enough from the city to be uncrowded and tranquil.
