Any suggestions on towns or villages (save for the obvious - Versailles, Giverny, Chartres) that are an hour or so away from Paris by public transportation? We are thinking of planning a picnic outside the city, so something scenic would be preferable as well.
TIA!

This is a full day cruise, but it would be a lovely day out on the Marne, one of our favorite rivers, passing by scenery that most people never get to see. You can bring along a picnic or eat at one of the guinguettes.

Thanks, slowpokesf. I will definitely look into that.
Would it be possible to find a small village/town along the river instead of cruising along the river?

Invest in Annabel Simms%26#39; An Hour from Paris. Great read adn you will likely find just the right spot for you!

khutson, thank you for the book recommendation!

I Love Anabelle%26#39;s book and she has just come out with an update! But for a one day trip on a short visit, you don%26#39;t really need to make the investment.
I recommend Sceaux. It is easily accessible by the RER B. You can load up for your picnic in the village, which has good delis, an EXCELLENT bakery (L%26#39;Etoile du Berger, in front of the church) and is the home store for one of Paris%26#39; best chocolatiers.
If you happen to be there on a Wed. or Sat, it is market day. Even better!
Once you nave your picnic, you can enjoy it on the grounds of the chateau. It is beautiful and completely relaxed... you can sit on the lawns, or even run on them. And the trees are marvelously trimmed, in a completely French way.

phread, that is exactly the kind of personal recommendation I was looking for.
I have ordered AN HOUR FROM PARIS!
Many thanks, all.
