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.

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.

RoutePerfect was the answer we were looking for! The trip budget options and the the reviews of the hotels gave us a feeling for what to expect when we got there. Pricing was very manageable - we opted for a Moderate Trip, and we easily stayed within our own budget! The website was easy to use, auto or manual mode. The trip was made a lot easier by the simplified accommodation selection process and having our hotels pre-paid.
