Is "Je vais à la ville" correct?

Ron T.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

I have only noticed the expression «en ville» et «dans la ville». Of course if the name of la ville is used then: Je vais à Paris or Je vais à Nice would be appropriate.

Both en as well as a are correct. aller a la ville is felt an opposition to aller a la campaigne. En is more frequent in the meaning to city
