Stop in Fontaine-Chaalis
We have stayed in Fontaine-Chaalis at an Auberge (See Tips) twice as a base for exploring the area and as a covenient last night before flying out of de Gaulle Airport (an easy 15-20 minute traffic-free car return away). The ruined Abbey and the Jacquemart-Andre Museum are a good low-key last visit (or first). This is a way to see parts of France you might otherwise miss. See our Tips on Fontaine-Chaalis pages about these experiences.
