Want to discover a perfect blend of history, culture and nature just a stone's throw from Paris?
If you love places steeped in history, you're in for a real treat. The département is packed with places of remembrance (such as Mont Valérien, home to the Mémorial de la France combattante, and the Escadrille Lafayette Memorial) and architectural treasures (such as the Château de Sceaux and its sumptuous park, the Château de Malmaison, which recounts the life of the imperial couple Josephine and Napoleon Bonaparte, and the fascinating “city of castles” of Asnières-sur-Seine in Châtenay-Malabry).
If you prefer culture, the arts and know-how, you can immerse yourself in the world of ceramics at Sèvres, marvel at the Roybet Fould museum in Courbevoie, or take a leap back in time at the Musée des Années 30. Not forgetting the house of the sculptor Rodin in Meudon or the Pavillon des Indes in Courbevoie, built for the 1878 Universal Exhibition.
And if you're more of a nature-lover, the Hauts-de-Seine region offers a wealth of hiking and biking trails: follow the Seine, cross parks and gardens, and enjoy panoramic views of the capital and its suburbs!
