Anybody been to Saint Germain?

Question

Has anyone visited this town? It is very close to Versaille. And about a 20 minute transit ride to Paris. What do you think? I personally would love to live there someday!

Answer 1

I also live about 20 minutes from St Germain.

It's quite a s****. area, lots of quite rich people with children, lots of expats. It's very nice to look at, but I wouldn't live there. The best International School in the whole Paris area is there too. Yes, you are only 20 mins from the centre of Paris, but it's not a very nice train ride...unless you like the smell of sewers. The traffic situation is a bit of a nightmare, as with the rest of the Paris area.

Answer 2

Hi,

I live 20mns from this town and I often go there on Sundays where there is a big market. It's a very nice town with all sorts of nice shops. The castle and the park are georgous. It's a very convenient city to live in but it's so so expensive.
