Sites close to Paris with train/bus routes to City
Am looking for recommendations on sites close to Paris (up to 20km or so) that have good train/bus services to the City and these can be accessed from the site either by walking or taking a local bus.
Thanks.

Also recommend Maisons- Laffitte, however if you want to be even nearer there is the Bois de Boulogne site which has apparently been improved from its previous rather tatty condition. Another good one is La Belle Etoile south east at Melun which is close to a rail link, we visited this one last year, its near Fontainbleu and Vaux le Vicompte (if you like palaces)

Yes Maisons Lafitte is definately your best bet. Nice upmarket town, excellent rail links into central Paris( RER Line A) all in easy walking distance of the site. Unless you are towing a giant caravan the approaches are not a problem even though it looks as if you are getting into some narrow residential streets! Its not a difficult site to find if you follow the very good road signs for the site. I would strongly advise booking in advance, and worth paying the extra for a riverside pitch.

Hi Jamstad,
I will be travelling to Maisons-Laffitte in September and having read your post I wondered if you could give me the best route in.
I will be travelling from Camping Du Futur near Poitiers and Google maps takes me into the town via N186 - D386 -N13 -D186 -D159-D157.
I have a Kia Sorento and towing a Lunar Clubman (7.31m).
I noticed that "Thomamg" recommends N13 -N184 - D308.
I haven't put the info into my satnav yet but having looked at both routes above they both look pretty narrow in places. What do you recommend?
Thanks

Just use the satnav- there is no real problem with the access... the route you are planning will be fine, just take care not to clip the curbs on the final couple of turns in the town! The satnav route will take you to the site without any great problem

Camping Beau Village at Villiers sur Orge is easy to find when approaching Paris from the south - straight up the N20 from Orleans towards Paris and it's signposted to the right. About half a mile walk from site to RER trains into the city.

I really like Maisons-Laffitte, nice site and town. The access is fine as long as care is taken. The only problem I've had is when cars are parked close to corners on the approach, it can be a little tight.

Maisons Laffite seems to get the thumbs up for a site so will head for that. We will travel after school holidays so will be there probably first few days in September. Can anyone give me an idea of cost per night at this time for motorhome - 2 people - + electricity?

I too recommend Maisons La Fitte. Pay the few extra Euros for a riverside, full service pitch. You won't regret it. Just the sight of the massive barges on the river is an experience worth having.
On sites in Paris, if you have any interest in history, visit the basilica of St Denis. It isn't one of the big name sites but it is the church where almost alĺ French queens were crowned, where most of them were buried and where most of the French kings were also buried. No history lesson, the Wiki will tell you all but the monuments are well worth your time.
