Yvelines in Ile-de-France
Yvelines with the undulating and wooded landscapes of the Hurepoix, the 3 000 hectares of the Forest of Rambouillet, the Versailles plain and of course the Regional Nature Parks of the Upper Chevreuse Valley and the French Vexin, Yvelines is rightly regarded as the « green lung » of the region.
It is also a land in which water is very much in evidence, with almost 700 kms of rivers and streams, quite apart from the mighty Seine. Its road, motorway and rail networks, its private airfields and its navigable waterways provide easy access to the department from Paris and other regions.
With a secure foothold in the XXth century, Yvelines in nonetheless mindful of its prestigious past and conserves the precious natural, architectural, cultural and artistic heritage of that past.
