With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Rouen, 25 miles away, has to offer. Rouen Cathedral, Gros Horloge and Jeanne d’Arc Church alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you toward Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 35 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Malmaison Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Grand Trianon and Parly 2 Shopping Mall.)
