With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Beauvais, 19 miles away, has to offer. Parc St Paul, Beauvais Cathedral and Plan d’Eau du Canada alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Malmaison Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Grand Trianon and Parly 2 Shopping Mall.)
