Destinations > City > Andilly
A charming village set on a hillside looking towards Paris, Andilly lies between the town of Montmorency, where Jean Jacques Rousseau
stayed, and the Domont plateau, historically a royal hunting reserve. The wide horizons and the many fine properties in the neighbourhood
enhance the quality of the environment.
The charm of « Les Hauts d’Andilly » stems from its proximity to all the main centres of interest of the capital. Ideally situated between the
Roissy air terminals and the business district of la Défense, this oasis of greenery is close to everything: a drive along the banks of the Seine
brings you quickly to the heart of the main economic centre of France.
Activities :
• Relaxation: Cruises on the rivers Oise and Seine, visit of Pontoise, lunches on the banks of the Oise, in open air restaurants with
entertainment; L’Isle Adam, the earthly paradise of Honoré de Balzac designated ‘Garden Village’, lying between the river Oise and the forest,
has the biggest river beach in the Ile de France department.
• Sport and leisure : Canoeing/Kayaking in the heart of the Véxin. Aventure Land Park (karting, tree rope course, bunjee-trampoline, climbing wall). Cergy-Neuville Leisure Park: sky fly, rafting, water skiing.
