Question Quaint Villages Near Paris?

[CloudCruiser77]

I'm on the hunt for a charming village or small town that's about two hours from CDG Airport and accessible by train. I'm looking for a place with that authentic French countryside vibe, maybe with some local markets, historic sites, or just a peaceful atmosphere to unwind. Does anyone have any hidden gems they've visited or heard about? I'd love to get some recommendations for places that aren't overrun with tourists but still have that quintessential French charm.

For a peaceful escape with that authentic French countryside vibe, consider visiting Provins. It's a medieval town about an hour and a half from Paris by train, known for its well-preserved ramparts and historic buildings. Another option is Moret-sur-Loing, a picturesque village with charming streets and a tranquil river setting. Both are perfect for unwinding and soaking in the local atmosphere without the crowds.
