You may have a lot of questions about Rambouillet : Where is it, what can one do there, what will be life like ? ... Let us provide you with some clear answers in concrete terms. |

Each area of France has its own personality. Rambouillet is located in the heart of France's " Ile de France" region, the birth place of the French language. The minute you arrive, you will truly see what it is like to live in France. It's a charming little city of 26.000 inhabitants, nestled in the forest dans la forêt, only 30 minutes south west of Paris! For ages, Rambouillet has been the favorite place of Parisians who come to spend the weekend, French kings who used the chateau hunting grounds, and most recetntly the President of the Republic who now uses the chateau to hold governemental conferences. In 2000 the city of Rambouillet was awarded the European Prize of "Art de Vivre". |
