From tourist info on a French region. I don't want to use anything with 'dream' as I don't think it sounds very English. Any suggestions?
La région offre de nombreuses invitations au rêve : Dourdan et son château-fort du XIIIe siècle, Saint-Germain-en-Laye et son château féodal construit par Louis VI le Gros* en 1122.....

invitations to journey back in time

will spark your imagination
" A trip to this region", or Visiting this region" will spark your imagination.
IF you don't want to use "dream", then "imagination" in English serves
the same purpose in what it suggests that "reve" does in the original text.
