1. The great outdoors is yours

Breathe, you are in the west of Paris. Here nature is omnipresent and part of your daily life. The weekend? Take a break in the Saint-Cloud park before exploring its hillsides. Put on your sneakers and take the blue promenade before discovering the Rueil-Malmaison Impressionists Park. Get on your bike and ride along the waterways before relaxing on a boat in the Ibis park in Vésinet. In the west of Paris, whether you are on foot, by bike or on horseback, slipping away towards ever more vegetation is child's play!

 

We recommend:

 

- Parc des Tourneroches in Saint-Cloud, for its intimate and picturesque side.

 

- The Saint-Cucufa woods in Rueil-Malmaison, for a fishing trip in the shade of the large trees.

 

- The Ile de la Jatte in Neuilly, in memory of the taverns of the Impressionist period.

2. Larger spaces

Neighbors? In your home in western Paris, neighbors will never again be a concern. Large spaces, beautiful volumes and the freedom to do what you like when you like are yours. By settling in Chatou, Celle Saint-Cloud, and in all the communes of the great west of Paris, your only concern will be to choose the house that suits you; the charm of a millstone with old stones, the very singular appearance of an architect's house or the refined lines of a private mansion. The icing on the cake, and whatever your preference, you will have a garden worthy of the name. Long dinners under the wisteria, garden parties and pool parties are yours. In Yvelines or Hauts-de-Seine, having a swimming pool is far from being an exception, but living on a daily basis in a house that looks like a country house is quite exceptional.

3. Cities with a village spirit

Do you hear them? These are the church bells that resonate in the market square. From Rueil-Malmaison to Saint-Cloud via Vésinet, the markets are colorful moments that punctuate the life of the city. Moments of exchange and sharing, where we take the time to meet up on the terrace of a café. In these towns with a false village feel, there is a feeling of belonging, an attachment to heritage and a certain art of living. Here the quality food shops are the greatest joy for gourmets. As for restaurants, traditional or innovative, there are many on the menu. Living in one of the charming towns in western Paris means having the luxury of enjoying serenity on a daily basis and having everything you want within reach.

 

We recommend:

 

- Il cararosso in Saint-Cloud, for its pasta al vongole as delicious as in Naples.

 

- The Marché des Avelines in Saint-Cloud, for the gargantuan offering of its food court.

4. Proximity to Paris

20 minutes: time to listen to a podcast, read the newspaper or chat with your loved ones. This is also, and above all, the time it will take you to get to Paris by public transport from the west of Paris. One of the main advantages of these municipalities is their immediate proximity to Paris. Thanks to an efficient and complementary public transport network, RER A, trains and bus lines, you can live in the heart of nature and continue to enjoy the excitement of Paris. A paradox? No, a major advantage.

 

We can't wait:

 

- To be able to take line 15 to access around Paris even more easily.

5. Renowned schools in western Paris

Rest assured, schools in western Paris meet all your educational requirements. Public or private, international and with multiple options, they offer excellent quality education to all their students. Secure while being open to the world, they allow your children to flourish and reveal their potential. In the towns of Yvelines and Hauts-de-Seine, expatriate families make all the languages of the world resonate in renowned institutions. An additional argument in a globalized world where mastery of one or more foreign languages is a prerequisite.

 

We recommend:

 

- The international high school in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a true crossroads of cultures.

 

- The American School of Paris in Saint-Cloud, the meeting place for American expatriates.

 

- Marymount International School Paris for its 26 languages taught.

6. Always more sporting outings

As for the parks and gardens of western Paris, they will be the ideal setting for practicing your favorite sporting activity, alone, in a duo or in a team. A healthy mind in a healthy body, one of the promises of Western Paris.
