Weekend escapade to the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay
At the heart of the Chevreuse valley, the Abbey of Vaux de Cernay is a 12th century Cistercian building sheltering an outstanding hotel.
In the domanial forest of Rambouillet, the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay Abbey is an enchanting and mysterious place. Transformed in the past into a private homestead by the Baron de Rothschild, the venue, which is as vast as a village, offers a unique touristic experience. At the heart of its church ruins and a Chapter Hall, it borders a large pond where it is possible to take rowboat promenades.
Unusual weekend at the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay
Its 57 rooms and its 3 suites have lost none of their cachet, and television is purposely banished to disconnet from urban stress. At end of the afternoon, the Salon de Musique, with its Gothic setting, will welcome you for the apéritif. Then it will be time to settle at the Table du Prieur, where chef Xavier Désiré has combined the traditions of great French cuisine with contemporary savors.

A nature and culture escapade, 30 minutes outside of Paris
During their stay, residents can mix nature and patrimony. The weekend is an ideal moment to take several promenades in the woody 65 hectares surrounding this architectural ensemble where one can still listen to Gregorian chants. To be visited without fail, the dovecote, the mill, the Reading Gallery, the fountain of Saint-Thibault and the Monk room. Superb weddings are celebrated here…
