And for all of you readers flipping through the French dictionary, Ile in French normally means island; in this case Ile de France refers to the city of Paris and all of its outlying suburbs. Beginning on September 5th and running over a month, the multi-venue festival has become a favorite of Parisians and culturally savvy tourists. For this year’s edition the festival will take place at some 30 or so picturesque sites, from well-known public theatre houses to off-the-beaten-path churches and museums. The festival tackles a diverse offering including world and classical music, jazz and contemporary talks (in French, bien sure) and workshops.
Culture hounds in Paris for the festival should take a look at the New York Habitat apartments in Paris highlighted below:
– This 2-bedroom rental apartment in Passy (PA-1768) offers bright rooms with big windows and the view of the Eiffel Tower from the Living Room!
-This 2-bedroom rental accommodation in Madeleine, Opera-Le Louvre (PA-809) sports brightly-painted walls and a funky, modern touch in a classic Paris flat.
-This 1-bedroom apartment rental in St Germain des Pres (PA-3305) features a lovely courtyard and an attractive price.
Ever been to Paris in the fall? If so, what do you like most about it; the seasonal food, cool weather or the Ile de France festival?
The Fall is an amazing time in Paris. It is less crowded than during Summer time. You can have very nice days not as hot as July/August. Enjoy a nice crepes (one of france specialty) and hot chocolate on the Chmaps Elysees for instance. Don’t forget your jacket because it can be cool at night.
I agree. France, particularly Paris, is special in the fall. The food is excellent at that time of the year and the hot chocolate is simply delicous on their cool nights. Jacket required.
