Nice places to stay near (not in) Paris?

[PMTRex]

Am thinking about getting Eurostar to Paris, having a few days city break there then moving on to somewhere else more 'in the countryside' and within 1-2 hours of Paris for a few days rest and relaxation with the kids (8&12).

Can you recommend anywhere?

Versailles?

Ah do you mean the countryside bit?

Yes countryside, preferably with pool for the kids

What kind of budget?

Try Huttopia campsite in Versailles. They have lodges so not all tents, plus a swimming pool. And the palace of Versailles is amazing

In that case I'd definitely be heading to the Loire region.

Look at Les Jablines, not far from the Val d’Europe shopping centre which has train links to Paris. There is no pool but there is a beach and swimming lake with kayaks and other watersports.

We did a lovely air B nB in Versailles. Easy train into Paris and Versailles itself is nice.

Great suggestions, that's just the sort of think I'm looking for, I think I wouldn't even need to hire a car for the Huttopia one!
