Hotels in Saint Germain En Laye

Discover the cuisine of the Île-de-France at the many restaurants in the city center or at our Campanile restaurants in St. Germain-en-Laye. The city is famous for two recipes: Béarnaise sauce and apple soufflé, which was first created at the iconic Henri IV Pavilion restaurant, next to the castle. Indulge in local produce from Ile-de-France such as French ham and mushrooms, brie, and Reine-Claude de Chambourcy plums. Also discover (in moderation!) beers brewed in Vexin, near Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Saint-Germain-en-Laye is famous for its Fête des Loges, held every summer since 1652 in the forest. Another annual event not to be missed is L'Estival, a festival dedicated to French song, which dates back over thirty years. The city also offers many sporting and cultural events throughout the year, organized by local associations such as La Clef. At the Alexandre Dumas Theater, you can also watch a wide variety of shows. Before returning to your room at our Campanile hotels in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, don’t miss out on the events (aperitifs, themed evenings, etc.) held at the hotel.

It is in Saint-Germain-en-Laye that the very first French rail transport line was built, in 1837, connecting the city to Paris. The purpose of this project? Building a train line from the capital in order to attract the attention of investors and politicians. The inauguration took place in the presence of the royal family, but without King Louis-Philippe, to avoid exposing him to the "risks" of a train trip. Today, the RER, Transilien and bus facilitate the journey from Paris to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, yet another a good reason to visit the city and its region from our Campanile hotels!
