you can do so many day trips to Paris by train for example if no car with you. I can be biased and say Versailles, Saint Germain en Laye, Poissy all royal town with history of France in it on the west of Paris, then the east the most famous ones are Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-vicomte, but also Ferriéres, Dampierre, Jouarre, with castles and monasteries and old streets.
so many see the ile de france region tourist org and see all that is available then if specific questions come back to the forum, i am from the area, the new site is here !
