Sacramento, California, also known as the River City, is where the American River and San Joaquin River intersect. This convergence happens just south of Sacramento and closer to Elk Grove. 
Although Elk Grove may seem like a primarily suburban area, with family-friendly entertainment and plentiful shopping, there are many activities for business travelers who may also feel like tourists. European executives may be interested in a getting a taste of the River City experience.
Below is a list of several places to enjoy some time off:
The Old Sugar Mill: Key Housings Sienna Villas services apartments (https://www.keyhousing.com/corporate-rental-properties/siena-villas/) are just a few minutes away from the riverside town of Clarksburg when The Old Sugar Mill resides.

People notice avocets, mallards, tree swallows, hawks, and great blue herons in the spring. Visitors will spot western kingbirds, meadowlarks, and warblers in the summer.
