Ivry's all Paris with a bit of Asian flair
You can explore 2 cultures in this dynamic southeastern suburb just south of the 13th arrondissement in Paris. The 13th houses the city's main Asian district, Quartier Asiatique, and this blends into north Ivry too, resulting in a neat fusion of French and Asian cultures, particularly Vietnamese. With the Seine River forming a good chunk of its border, you can find some Ivry-sur-Seine vacation rentals with riverside locations or water views. The famous French architecht Jean Renaudie left his mark in Ivry with striking, angular buildings that defy genre and blend green, public, and private spaces.

Even the suburbs of Paris are incroyable
Ivry-sur-Seine vacation rentals are near all those great suburban comforts like movie theaters, shops, cafes, and parks. You'll love the authentic French and Asian dining here, and Chinatown, just slightly north, is one of the area's cultural delights. It's also a fun place for festivals during the Chinese New Year in February. You'll get killer views walking the banks of the Seine, and just across it is Paris' largest park, Bois de Vincennes. Go 3 miles north and you'll be in central Paris, where you can explore for days and still not take in everything the city has to offer.
You'll love watching rain take Paris by storm
If you're booking Ivry-sur-Seine vacation rentals, you should know there's not really a high and low season—although it's a tad busier for the Chinese New Year. Summer highs are in the 70s and winter lows in the upper 30s. May's the rainiest month, but most months, with the exception of February, see some of the wet stuff. And that's great, because it keeps the picturesque parks of Paris lush and watered. Occasionally, a raging thunderstorm will drench the area and give you lots of cool photo opps as lightning illuminates the skyline.
Nature shines and sparks in these 2 parks
With Ivry-sur-Seine vacation rentals, you're in the outskirts of a massive city bursting with people. The city limits of Paris and the Seine River make up the majority of Ivry-sur-Seine's borders. Don't expect to see mountains or the typical rolling hills of Provence; the Il-de-France region is quite flat, with low elevation. Plant and nature lovers can visit Bois du Vincenne and Bois de Boulonge to explore the beautiful vegetation, lakes, and landscape at these parks. If you want to escape the cityscape and get out in nature, you can travel 9 miles west and visit the Verrieres Forest.
