Last Sunday we were nine Instagrammers to meet on a sunny morning in our suburb of Paris. This InstaMeet in Maisons-Laffitte, Yvelines was a great opportunity to befriend with other people who share a passion for photography and to re-discover the chateau and its vast park.
Our beautiful Paris suburb of Maisons-Laffitte is situated in the Île de France region, and more precisely in the département of Yvelines 20 min from the centre of Paris by RER. The town is famous for its chateau and its park dotted with magnificent villas and manors.
On that day we were nine Instagrammers to follow Anne-Sophie through the streets of the town. You can check their beautiful photo galleries here: anneso_pic, ytourisme, wawanoff, kolni63, jcg48, bougivanne, carolinelsln, sylviesll and frenchmoments.
The code name of that day was #Instadada_100416 and you can view all the photos taken by the team.
Here is a selection of photos I took during the InstaMeet which I hope will make you want to discover this little town on a short visit from Paris:
