"Super hosts" since the beginning 11 years ago, we are committed to making your stay enjoyable and talking to you.
Guest comments on their stay in our cottages (hundreds of guests in 11 years):
- "We appreciated Michèle and Alain's kindness and international culture."
- "The cottage is spacious, clean, tastefully decorated, with a view of the garden and the spectacular private lake."
- "The children loved the garden, the ducks on the lake, and the toy store."
- "All the facilities are in very good condition. Excellent taste."
- "A perfect place to recharge our batteries; we will be back."
- "Charming cottage in the most picturesque setting."
- "Very welcoming hosts." "Welcoming and friendly hosts."
- "We appreciated the comfort and beautiful surroundings."
- "Lots of choices to visit: Fontainebleau, Troyes, Disneyland, Paris..."
- "Great value for money. Beautifully located with lots of greenery and nature."
- "This is our third time here..."
…….
The cottage is just an hour's drive from Paris and Disneyland. It's also the perfect, peaceful location for exploring the Champagne Route (small villages, fine restaurants, wineries), numerous châteaux (Fontainebleau, Vaux-le-Vicomte, La Motte-Tilly), the Rose Garden in Provins, and Vézelay. Take the train to Paris from Provins if you want to avoid driving... Paris is an hour away by train.

love spending time with our guests coming from Argentina to Scandinavia, from Germany to California, from Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and of course Paris and Paris area.

Come enjoy the peace and quiet, the 9-hectare wooded park, the pond with geese, ducks, and carps for fishermen... and, of course our chickens' eggs.

We hope to see you soon.

Being closed to nature with very kind hosts

Enjoyed a lovely short stay at Michele and Alain’s. One of the most amazing spot at only one hour and half from Paris, quite we advise you to go here for a good break from city wildlife into relaxing nature. A lovely stylish house with everything you need to feel at home. A beautiful human experience with caring, open and very kind hosts.

Un écrin de verdure idéal pour se ressourcer en famille, à proximité de Paris. Entre l'étang et ses oies, l'immense jardin équipé de multiples jeux pour enfants, les livres et jouets à disposition, c'est le lieu parfait pour profiter de moments en famille.

Schönes altes Cottage auf dem Land

Wir hatten ein paar entspannte Tage hier. Die Vermieter sind ausgesprochen freundlich. Schicke alte Möbel im Haus. Großer Garten mit See (nicht zum Baden). Viele Spielmöglichkeiten für Kinder. Mitten auf dem Land, Provins als nächste Stadt ist knapp 15 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Danke für die Gastfreundlichkeit!

First holiday in France

Our stay was just perfect. The cottage is in a really small rural village. The cottage is beautiful with everything you need and the garden looks down to the lake. The lake is perfect for some quiet relaxation time with a footpath all around. My husband is a keen carp man and was not disappointed with carp and bream and a personal best being broken. Alain and Michele thank you for your hospitality and our lovely stay. Visiting local Provins regularly for supplies and a good walk around a real pleasure. Fontainebleau was amazing and the recommendation of the champagne trail very worthwhile.

Lovely cottage, offers everything you need

Amazing place to stay. Everything we needed was there. Do keep in mind that it is quite isolated. You need to drive for even getting some bread. It is very peacefull though. Lot’s of great places to visit within an hour’s drive (Disney, Val d’Europe, Fontainebleau) and Provins is about 15 minutes away. We loved it here and highly recommend this cottage. Michelle and Alain are very kind and always willing to help.

Beste Erholung in ruhiger Lage, kurze Wege zu interessanten Zielen (Paris, Disneyland, etc.)

Ehepaar (70, 68) mit Enkeln (18,15). Wir waren zwei Wochen in diesem Cottage und fuhren mit voller Zufriedenheit nachhause. Die überaus freundlichen und sympathischen Vermieter hatten sich liebevoll um uns gekümmert. Das sehr schöne und gepflegte Anwesen (Haus und Garten) in ruhiger Lage bietet neben einer Einrichtung mit antiken Möbeln moderne Ausstattung in Küche und Bad - eine ansprechende Kombination. Zu jeder Zeit waren die in unmittelbarer Nähe wohnenden Vermieter ansprechbar für alle auftretenden Fragen. In relativ kurzen Zeiten sind interessante Ziele erreichbar (Paris 80 km mit Bus, Zug, Auto, Versailles, Troyes, Reims, Fontainebleau, Épernay, Sens, etc). In diesem Haus hat man eine Kombination von Ruhe und Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Ausreichender Internetzugang ist vorhanden, allerdings kein deutsches TV-Programm. Alles in allem war der Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienhaus perfekt sowohl für uns Ältere als auch für die jungen Leute. Wir haben uns in jeder Hinsicht wohlgefühlt und können dieses Objekt ohne Bedenken weiterempfehlen. Besonders an das sehr nette Vermieter-Ehepaar werden wir immer gerne zurückdenken.

Instant détente et au calme a la campagne

Repos, détente, soleil et superbe vue sur l'étang. Endroit parfait pour les enfants surtout pour decouvrir un coin de nature. L'étang au bout du jardin permet de découvrir canards, oies et ragondins. Jardins tres bien entretenus tout comme la maison tout équipée. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir! Propriétaires tres sympathique, arrangeant et disponible.

Really well maintained cottage. A particularly stunning master bedroom.

A wonderful holiday in a beautiful place. We loved Provins, what an unspoilt gem. Loved cycling and running around the lake at the cottage. Cycling some of the Champagne trail was fab. As ever in France we enjoyed great bread, Brie, pastries and champagne. The children loved the Aquatic Centre in Provins and the knight show at the foot of the walls. Trips to Disneyland and Paris were also highlights. Coming back to quality and spacious accommodation every night was wonderful. We loved the tasteful decor in the cottage.

La maison est spacieuse et très agréable à vivre, décorée avec goût par les propriétaires, qui sont très attentifs à chaque détail et au confort de leurs hôtes.

La maison est décorée avec goût, bien chauffée, il y a des livres partout dans la maison pour ne pas s'ennuyer :) Il y a un petit lac au fond du jardin. La maison est au calme, on entend au loin les canards et oies qui s'agitent le matin, Pour les parisiens que nous sommes, c'est un vrai dépaysement! Enfin, Michele et Alain sont des hôtes attentionnés, disponibles et très sympathiques. Tout y est pour passer un agréable weekend. Je vous recommande ce cottage sans réserve!

A fabulous cottage!!

Our family stayed here for a fun-filled Christmas. The cottage itself is lovely, newly decorated, with all the necessities and more! We were so spoilt to arrive to a real Christmas tree in the cottage lounge, complete with lights! This really made our Christmas. The cottage surroundings are lovely, with a lake for a spot of fishing. The hosts are extremely helpful and super friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend this accommodation to others looking for a tranquil break, with some key destinations, such as the champagne region, in easy driving distance.

About the host

Host profile image
After living in several countries, my French husband and I (American) returned to the home his family has lived in for several generations. The cottages are in the same hamlet, so we can provide advice on what to do in the region or in Paris. We are friendly hosts.

Après avoir vécu dans plusieurs pays, mon mari français et moi (américaine) sommes revenus dans la maison que sa famille habite depuis plusieurs générations. Les gîtes se trouvent dans le même hameau, nous pouvons donc vous donner des conseils sur ce qu'il y a à faire dans la région ou à Paris. Nous aimons échanger avec vous.

Dopo aver vissuto in diversi paesi, io (americana) e mio marito francese siamo tornati nella casa in cui la sua famiglia ha vissuto per diverse generazioni. I cottage si trovano nella stessa frazione, quindi possiamo dare consigli su cosa fare nella regione o a Parigi.
Ci piace parlare con i nostri ospiti.

Why they chose this property

My husband grew up in this hamlet, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and before. The Brie region is beautiful; one of the 'breadbaskets' of France with its vast fields of wheat, corn, barley...

Mon mari a grandi dans ce hameau, suivant les traces de son père, de son grand-père et avant lui. La région de la Brie est magnifique ; c'est l'un des "greniers à blé" de la France, avec ses vastes champs de blé, de maïs, d'orge...

Mio marito è cresciuto in questo borgo, seguendo le orme del padre, del nonno e prima ancora. La regione di Brie è bellissima; uno dei "panieri" della Francia con i suoi vasti campi di grano, mais, orzo...

What makes this property unique

In a well kept park with a lake. View on the garden and the private lake. The house is only an hour from Paris (by train to avoid driving) and Disneyland. It is also the perfect and quiet spot to discover the "Champagne road" (little villages, good restaurants, caves), many castles (Fontainebleau, Vaux le Vicomte, La Motte Tilly), la Roseraie in Provins...
