Hotels in Val-de-Marne, France

Val-de-Marne is a department just southeast of Paris, with a mild climate-winters average 35-45°F (2-7°C) and summers 68-77°F (20-25°C)-famous for the Marne River's scenic banks and the 14th-century Château de Vincennes, a former royal fortress. In summer, you can rent a boat along the Marne or cycle the Promenade des Bords de Marne, while winter offers uncrowded visits to the Château's keep and the 500-acre Parc Floral of Paris, which hosts live jazz concerts on summer weekends. For a change of pace, explore the Gallo-Roman ruins at Saint-Maurice or the modern art at MAC/VAL in Vitry-sur-Seine, both easily reached by RER trains.
