The area around the Massif des Trois Pignons :

We are near the Massif des Trois Pignons and the Rocher Cailleau, along the path towards the 25 bumps well known to experienced boulderers from all over the world

Fontainebleau: a famous name which evokes for some the CASTLE and its gardens, for others the HORSE CAPITAL

Barbizon, the painters' village:

Home to the pioneers of the Impressionist movement, the Auberge Ganne brings you back in the atmosphere of reaction against romantic classical and academic painting. Corot, Millet, Rousseau were followed by the younger generation, Monet, Bazille, Renoir. Hundred artists were living in Barbizon in 1875.

Next to the famous gorges of Apremont.

Thomery is the village of painter Rosa Bonheur:

The animal painter chose to settle down in 1859 in Thomery. The house and museum remained intact and reflects the personality of this famous woman artist. Until the 60s, Thomery was also famous for its table grapes, Chasselas, and its mode of preservation. Grape crop walls were built in 1730 and their total length was estimated at 350 km. Today, many houses have kept the walls and vines and continue the local tradition.

The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte:

Constructed in the 17th century surrounded by a huge park, Vaux-le-Vicomte was the castle of Nicolas Fouquet, Treasurer of Louis XIV. Many artists have demonstrated their talent in Vaux-le-Vicomte : Molière, La Fontaine, Le Nôtre, Le Vau.

Samois-sur-Seine :

For more than twenty years, the island in the Seine hosts the annual 'Django Reinhardt' Jazz Festival. In the rue du Bas Samois is the house where Django Reinhardt lived and died. The Gypsy guitarist (1910-1953) is buried in the village cemetery.

Moret sur Loing, the medieval city:

The romantic and mediaval town of Moret-sur-Loing transports visitors back to the Impressionist period. A journey 'In the footsteps of Alfred Sisley' The painter spent ten years in Moret-sur-Loing. The fortified gates, narrow streets, Notre Dame church, the Dungeon, the bridge, watermills and the banks of the Loing have maintained their picturesque character.

Lovely place to stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The owners were very accommodating and this gite had everything we needed for a lovely week. Such a lovely touch for the owner to bake us a pie- we felt very welcome. The location is spot on for the climbing; we barely took the car out as loads of the climbing is simply a walk away. Our children enjoyed some down time in the swimming pool and we used the other games facilities and bikes quite a bit too. We will definitely be coming back.

Ideal location for an active family
We spent two weeks in September, enjoying a mix of bouldering, cycling and walking in the forest. The weather was perfect and we greatly enjoyed an afternoon dip in the pool as the temperature hit the thirties. The gite is very comfortable and ideally located with quick access to the forest. The provision of bouldering mats and bikes was a great asset. We were made very welcome and are already planning a return visit next year.

Perfect base for perfect stay
We came here as a family of 4 with the intention of climbing. Location, via back garden - 5mins to JA Martin, 10min to Rocher Guichot. Don't need a car. We had 6 pads on site - free of charge, again saved a lot of car space. Swimming pool, accesible, clean, well look after garden. Owners - Patrick and Joelle, very discreet, but lovely. Joelle even dropped off a special clombers bread for us. Highly recommend it to any active family. Tres bien!

Wonderful family holiday!
What an absolutely wonderful place! Our hosts were very welcoming with lemonade on our arrival and Patrick showed us round and explained everything. The welcome booklet was comprehensive and Patrick gave us ideas on things to see and do during our stay. The accommodation was lovely. Well stocked with what was necessary. The forest is literally behind the house accessed by a locked gate. Lots to explore and rocks to climb on. The pool was used most days and cooled us down on hot days. The cover made sure thay even when it rained a little we could continue swimming and playing. We played table football as well as ping pong and although didn't use the bikes, a thoughtful addition. There are supermarkets nearby and well positioned for all our visits. We visited Fountainbleu castle and Veux le Viconte (host recommended) and Disney. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to return.

Excellent stay - we will come again
This house was perfect for us. Communication with the host was quick and easy and they are friendly and helpful. The private swimming pool was amazing in the hot weather we experienced and the children especially loved it. The house back onto the forest and there is loads of climbing within a 10 minute walk. The crash pads at the house were also really welcome and saved loads of packing space for us. The house sleeps 6 - one double, one twin and then a bed in the lounge or kitchen. The beds were ready made on arrival and the rooms had fans, hanging space and towels. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a table inside and outside. The house also had a table tennis table and table football. The accommodation is located in a small village with shop and pharmacy and there is a bigger town ten minutes drive away and Fontainebleau is 20 mins in the car. We will be staying again. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Perfekte Lage
Tolle, perfekte Lage direkt am Waldrand und super Ausstattung des Hauses. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich. Für Boulderer, Wanderer und Kunstbegeisterte perfekt. Für Allergiker im Juli allerdings schwierig. Sowohl im Haus als auch im Waldgebiet starke Schnupfenattacken. Aber die Apotheke im Dorf ist sehr gut dafür ausgestattet.

Wir sind zu 4. in das Feriendomizil gereist, um einen entspannten Urlaub mit der Möglichkeit Paris zu bereisen zu haben. Die Vermieter waren super nett und unkompliziert, der Pool jederzeit nutzbar und sogar ein Kuchen wurde uns zubereitet. Alles in allem empfehlenswert!

Super freundliche Vermieter!
Gemütliches Ferienhaus mit sehr netten Vermietern. Sehr gut eingerichtete und gut ausgestattete Küche, die keine Wünsche offen lässt. Perfektes Messerset! Der Pool war sehr stark gechlort, jedoch sehr sauber. 3 Fernseher (zwei zuviel). Tischkicker und sehr gute Mountainbikes für die ganze Familie vorhanden. Leider hatten wir 4 Tage Dauerregen und mussten wegen Hochwassers zu Hause früher abreisen.

Mauvais accueil
Le gite est tenu part un couple. La femme est très accueillante. En revanche, l'homme pas du tout. Plusieurs choses m'ont déplues dans l'accueil de l'homme, me laissant l'impression désagréable de ne pas être la bienvenue. Voici le pire moment en guise d'illustration : Un après-midi, monsieur était mécontent pour une histoire de portail pas fermé, alors il est rentré dans le salon du gite SANS MEME FRAPPER pour nous exprimer son mécontentement.

Lovely property in a beautiful location. The owners are always on hand if you need anything and gave us some fantastic tips for the week. Close enough to Paris to spend a day or 2 there.
