Saint-Germain-en-Laye

Only 25 minutes from Paris by RER,
Saint-Germain-en-Laye offers a real change of scene
and a range of assets : heritage, nature and art of living.

How can you not fall under the charm of this former royal residence ? Saint-Germain-en-Laye is a sweet compromise between city and nature in the heart of the Yvelines.

The town centre is a real open-air shopping centre with no less than 800 shops and a market not to be missed. The town is also equipped with quality educational facilities from nursery school to higher education. Numerous companies have set up their headquarters here, proof of its economic dynamism.

The town is also very easy to reach thanks to the RER A train line that connects to La Défense and Saint-Lazare, as well as the Resalys bus service that offers trips to Poissy, Versailles and Cergy. A new tram line planned for 2021 should also connect the RER A to the RER B.

At the gateway to Paris, Saint-Germain-en-Laye offers a quality of life on all levels. Whether you are looking for a house with a garden, or a beautiful flat in a former town house or old building in the town centre !
