About Renting a Car at Puteaux Center
Puteaux is a modern suburb west of Paris, directly adjacent to La Défense - Europe's largest business district with its iconic skyscrapers. With one rental company in the center and the subway to central Paris in 20 minutes, Puteaux is a practical option for those who want a car but prefer to stay near the capital. Grande Arche de la Défense is just 1.5 km to the east.
Puteaux borders the Seine River and offers walks along the quay with views toward Boulogne-Billancourt. Île de Puteaux, a small river island, is a green recreational area in the middle of the metropolitan environment. Palace of Versailles is 18 km south via D985 - a perfect day trip with a rental car.
Avoid driving into central Paris with your rental car - parking is expensive and traffic is chaotic. Instead, use the car for excursions to Versailles (18 km, 30 min), Chartres (90 km), or Fontainebleau (60 km). Park at La Défense and take the subway into central Paris for sightseeing.
