About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

In a park with 5ha lake, lots of toys/books/swing set, fresh eggs, Paris 80km

Special offers for longer stay.

Perfect for teleworking (fiber optic).

For children: swing set/slide (6 mos-12 yrs), toys, books.
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...

Surroundings:
- Private lake (5 ha). Fishing allowed. No need for permit. Entire lake to yourself.
- Gardens with roses, lavenders
- Barbecue at the lake
- Bocce ball court, badminton, ping-pong
- Lots of toys for children.

In addition:
Access to a private garden (1hectare) with organic vegetables, 10 hens (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.

Fantastic get away from it all
This is a really great property and I’m not sure the pictures do it justice. It is a 15 min drive from the nearest town/village of Provins which has a supermarket and is a direct train link to central Paris. It is in zone 5 which means you can buy a Mobilis ticket which gives you unlimited travel for the day through out Paris. It is a beautiful quiet rural location with a lovely walk around the lake just meters away. Alain looks after the property, lives just over the road and was fantastic. Thank you for a really great holiday x

Heerlijke week
Wij hebben een fijne tijd gehad in het vakantiehuis. Het huis ligt op een mooie rustige plek met een meertje op loopafstand. De eigenaren zijn zeer gastvrij en willen je graag helpen. Erg aardige mensen. Wij hebben zelfs verse eieren gekregen en zelfgemaakte soep. Het plaatsje oude stadje Provins is echt het bezoeken waard en Disneyland Parijs is op 50 minuten rijden ook goed te doen.

Unser Lieblingsquartier
Perfekt saniertes, hübsches altes Haus, dahinter wunderschöner privater Rosengarten mit der Rose der sehr nah gelegenen Stadt Provins und ein großer See mit vielen niedlichen Entenfamilien. Die Vermieter wohnen in der Nähe, waren immer ansprechbereit (Kommunikation auf Englisch hat hervorragend funktioniert), haben aber nie gedrängelt und waren immer sehr (gast-) freundlich. Perfekte Ausgangslage für Ausflüge in der Champagne (Fontainebleau, Provins, ...). Es ist sehr geräumig, sehr sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es gibt eine sehr große, tolle neue Küche. Wenn ein Quartier sein Geld wert sein sollte, dann dieses. Die Bettwäscje würde bereitgestellt und hat himmlisch geduftet. Es war großartig hier!!! Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit. Wir freuen uns schon darauf wieder hier her zu fahren.

De belles vacances en famille
Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment chez Michèle et Alain, l'accueil était très chaleureux et souriant. Le cottage avec tout le nécessaire (jeux pour enfant, literie, cuisine…) pour un séjour tranquille et d'une propreté appréciable. Beaucoup d'activités disponibles sur un grand espace (jardins et étang). Notre fille de 5ans a adoré passer des moments avec les poules et les chats ainsi que les moments passé avec nos hôtes. Un grand merci à nos hôtes pour tout ca . A retenir pour de futures vacances.

Nice spacious house, perfect base to visit both Paris and Champagne area
The house exceeded our expectations, it was much more spacious than we thought. The kitchen was fully equipped, for example there even was a dryer. The area was very quiet, the garden quite large. There were plenty of toys for the children to play with. Every morning we were awakened by one of the roosters from the surrounding houses; the very friendly owners of our house regularly gave us fresh eggs from their hens.
