Special offers for longer stay.

Perfect for teleworking (fiber optic).

Equipment: baby bed, high chair...

We created a cottage decorated with families in mind with lots of books, a modern fully equipped kitchen and bathroom...

Access to a private garden (1hectare) with organic vegetables, 10 hens and their eggs ...

Most important is our rating from our guests: 4.8 out of 5!
Comments from guests about their stay in our cottage (hundreds of guests in 5 years):
- "You will be impressed by Michele and Alain: kindness, international culture."
- "Cottage is spacious, clean, tastefully decorated, view on the garden and the private lake spectacular".
- "Children loved the garden, the ducks on the lake, the toys reserve"
- "All facilities are in very good shape. Good taste"
- "Perfect place to recharge batteries, we will come back"
- "Lovely cottage in the most picturesque setting"
- "Very hospitable hosts". "Welcoming and friendly hosts"
- "We enjoyed the coziness and the beautiful environment"
- "Lots to choose to visit: Fontainebleau, Troyes, Disney, Paris ... "
- "Lots of value for your money. Nicely situated with lots of green and nature"
- "we came for the 3rd time ..."

The cottage is only an hour's drive from Paris and Disneyland. It is also the perfect and quiet spot to discover the "Champagne road" (little villages, good restaurants, cellars), many castles (Fontainebleau, Vaux le Vicomte, La Motte Tilly), la Roseraie in Provins, Vezelay. Go by train to Paris from Provins if you want to avoid driving ... Paris is one hour by train.

The cottage is a mix of old and new, of nature, of art and other books, of swing/slide set/toys for children, bocce ball, fishing, ping pong, jogging around the lake.....
... Our objective is to continue to improve. We love to spend time with our guests from Argentina to Scandinavia, from Germany to California, from Belgium, the UK, The Netherlands and of course Paris.

Superb Country Setting
Everything about our stay was perfect, the cottage had everything you could ask for. The hosts were extremely nice and also helpful, though as the cottage was fabulously equipped we had no call to bother them after the meet and greet except to pass on the keys as we left. A lovely garden (equipped with a table and chairs) that leads onto a wonderful lake. Our dog also accompanied us on the 5 night holiday and loved the walk around the lake. A perfect place to unwind. If driving back from Paris I recommend a break at LA TOURELLE 77. 1 Rue de Melun, 77220 Tournan-en-Brie where we had a great meal and a couple of carafes of the house red.

Perfect accommodation, away from it all
Just returned from a glorious week's stay at the cottage. My wife and I , together with our 12 year old daughter could not recommend the place highly enough. It has been renovated to an excellent standard with plenty of outdoor space. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with a lovely bathroom and well equipped kitchen. The area is very remote and the use of a car is a must, the local town of Provins (20 mins away) is stunning with all the amenities you'll need. We went to Disney Paris for a couple of days which is a very easy 45 minute drive. This is a definite get away from it all location, exactly what we wanted. The site stated a DVD player and cable TV, neither of which were available and the Wi-Fi is a little slow. None of this was a problem and we just relaxed and read a little more.

A beautiful cottage in beautiful and peaceful countryside
My wife and I spent a wonderful week in this delightful cottage in the Brie area. Michele and Alain are a lovely couple and were most welcoming. The property itself is a converted farm building dating way back. Alain has completely rebuilt the interior using many of the original oak timbers. Quality materials have been used throughout, resulting in a home which is both bright and cosy. The property is set in a small hamlet of ten houses. To the rear of the cottage is an extensive garden planted with roses and lavender. Beyond is a small lake bordered by poplars which is pure idyllic rural France. It's worth taking a gentle stroll round it. The cottage is just 20 minutes or so drive from Provins. This is a beautiful town whose old quarter is stunning and whose buildings date back to medieval times. There are some excellent highlights which are a must do. For us, the most interesting was the Tithe Barn. It was packed with information which gave a real insight into life in medieval times. A close second was a guided tour of the underground passages beneath some of the main buildings. Also worth a visit is Caesar's tower, perched atop the highest point of the old town. You are only a short distance from the Champage area and a drive along the Champagne Trail is well worth doing. The small towns and villages in the surrounding countryside each have their own character and we also enjoyed a very pleasant drive along the Seine. Finally, if you're into photography, I suggest you take a very large memory card!

Wir waren eine Woche dort und haben es sehr genossen. Die Gastgeber Michelle und Alain waren super lieb und hilfsbereit 😊 mit dem Zug ist Paris super easy und günstig zu erreichen und auch die kleinen Städtchen drumherum wie Provins oder auch Troyes sind einen Ausflug wert. Ansonsten kann man dort super abschalten und die Ruhe genießen ☺️

La maison est très fonctionnelle, le domaine est magnifique, idéal pour de longues balades ou du footing. Nous avons également pu faire de belles parties de pétanque et de ping-pong !! Le cadre est idéal pour un week-end en famille ou entre amis. Nous n'avons q'une hâte : revenir.

Nice house in peaceful surroundings not far from medieval Provins.
We had a very good time. The house is cute and has all facilities. The hosts were nice and attentive. The rose garden and lake behind the house are peaceful and great for a stroll. Medieval Provins is near and it is well worth a visit (it is not as well known in the Netherlands as it should be). Fontainebleau is not too far either. We really recommend this place!
