Luxury holidays in Seine-et-Marne

A vast swathe of eastern Île-de-France that dwarfs Paris in size, Seine-et-Marne is a rural department of fertile plains and forests fed by its namesake rivers, yet still within easy reach of the capital. Storied villages and ornate châteaux dot the countryside. And no exploration of its pastoral pleasures is complete without a slab of aged Brie de Meaux to take home.
