This charming town near Paris is famous for its Malmaison Castle, the residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and his bride, Josephine.

Rueil-Malmaison is a commune in the western suburbs of Paris, in the Hauts-de-Seine department of France. Rueil is famous for the Chateau de Malmaison where Napoleon and his first wife Josephine de Beauharnais lived. Upon her death in 1814, she was buried at the nearby Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul church, which stands at the center of the city. The Rueil barracks of the Swiss Guard were constructed in 1756 under Louis XV by the architect Axel Guillaumot, and have been classified Monument historique since 1973.

This site was a fantastic tool to plan our 7-week trip. All the accommodations worked out perfectly and met our expectations. Your website was a great way to get suggestions, look at accommodation types that were available, as well as price ranges. From there I could start tailoring the trip to our travelling preferences. You should be proud of this great tool to empower travellers to do their own arrangements, and at the same time get a great price. I would definitely use this site again and will be highly recommending it to friends and family.

I had a wonderful experience using RoutePerfect to plan all of the hotels for our honeymoon. It was very easy to use and I loved how I could select a hotel from a list of possibilities. All of the hotels were fantastic and I have nothing but great things to say. I have definitely been telling everyone about the website and if we ever plan on travelling abroad again I will definitely return to your website.
