===Situation===
Yvelines is bordered by the departments of [[Val-d'Oise]] on the north, [[Hauts-de-Seine]] on the east, [[Essonne]] on the southeast, [[Eure-et-Loir]] on the southwest and [[Eure]] on the west.

The eastern part of the department, as well as its northern part along the [[Seine]], is part of the Paris metropolitan area, but the rest of the department is rural, much of it covered by the [[Forest of Rambouillet]] (also known as the Forest of Yveline, from which the name of the department is derived).

Two [[Regional nature parks of France|regional parks]] can be found in Yvelines: [[Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Natural Park]] and part of [[Vexin]] Français Park. Yvelines is home to one of France's best known golf courses, La Tuilerie-Bignon, in the village of [[Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche]].
