Property for sale in Yvelines

Yvelines lies to the west of Paris, best known as the home of the Palace of Versailles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose gardens and fountains still draw visitors from around the world. Good road and rail links keep the department well connected to central Paris. With its strong royal heritage, Yvelines is home to the Palace of Versailles itself, and to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a well-connected town with its own royal associations. Away from the best-known sites, buyers will find the Forêt de Rambouillet, the regional park of the Haute-Vallée de Chevreuse, and the equestrian centre of Maisons-Laffitte. Yvelines is also known for being one of the wealthiest and most sought-after parts of the Paris region, particularly around Versailles itself. A temperate climate brings warm summers and cool winters. Property ranges from an apartment in Versailles, a family house in one of the well-connected towns further out, or a rural property in the Rambouillet or Chevreuse countryside. With royal heritage, countryside and easy access to Paris, it remains one of the most desirable departments in the region. On the local market, houses in Yvelines average €3,415/m².
