Car Hire Meru

Guide

A small commune in the Oise department in northern France, Meru screams perfect tranquility. An ideal place for those who don't fancy the idea of bumping into people that they know while on holiday, Meru, just like other communes in the Oise department, offers tourists a quiet getaway.

One of the most dominant sites in Meru is Parc Asterix, opened in 1989. The park is spacious, with ample space to relax and while away the hours. It is also one of the most popular theme parks in the country with many interesting tidbits about the history of France.

Another awesome sight is cathedral of St Etienne in Metz, with its magnificent architecture and enchanting interior. The massive water tower in the heart of Oise stands tall, boasting extensive infrastructure which was developed during German rule.

Enthusiastic hikers can head to Foret de Compiegne, an old hunting ground for noblemen and kings in the past. Here you can find many paths for countryside walks that allow walkers to indulge in the rich nature that the beautiful French countryside has to offer. Horse racing is another popular activity in the Oise department, and Chantilly offers several courses and training grounds for this traditional sport.

In order to get around Meru and the Oise deparment, hiring a car is a practical way to get the best out of your trip. The Oise department has much to offer, with countless lakes, valleys and rich forests. In fact, it is hard to believe that Meru is only a short drive from the centre of Paris.
