Hotels in Val-de-Marne, France

Val-de-Marne, just southeast of Paris, is famous for the massive Bois de Vincennes park and the imposing 14th-century Château de Vincennes, where you can explore dungeons and royal apartments. Summers are warm (70-80°F / 21-27°C), perfect for rowing or kayaking on the Marne River, while winters are chilly (30-45°F / -1-7°C) but ideal for ice skating at the park's outdoor rink. For budget-friendly days, pack a picnic by the lake or visit the free Parc Floral with its giant chess boards and playgrounds.
