Half-Marathons in Île-de-France

The city of light of Paris attracts both foreign and French 🇫🇷 tourists with its monuments and beauty, its romance, the Seine... And indeed the French capital and its region also attract many runners 🏃🏼‍♀️, who are abundant in our beautiful country. It's worth noting that the playing field is large, and the quality of races numerous (see the second paragraph...). Without making a fuss, the Île-de-France region, the most populated in France (12 million inhabitants, nearly 20% of the French population), offers numerous forested areas 🌲🌳 that will help you easily forget the asphalt. Nature is indeed present in IDF, providing fresh air galore! Mention must be made of the Domaine de Saint-Cloud, an ideal bridge between city and nature, the Forest of Rambouillet and its kilometers of paths where castles 🏰 and monuments abound 😍, the Chevreuse Valley, the Gâtinais, Versailles and the park of the castle... And let's not forget the Forest of Fontainebleau, known for its large rocks offering a perfect setting for climbing enthusiasts 🧗🏼‍♀️…
