Located at the exit of Melun on the national road leading to Fontainebleau, the village of La Rochette is born in the Middle Ages. It extends especially after the installation in the eighteenth century Baron François-Moreau Moreau de la Rochette, director of the farms of King Louis XV, whose heirs will live in the castle until the twentieth century.
In 1925, Louis de La Rochette sold a portion of his land near Melun, the wood of the Hermitage, which will be transformed into housing estate. At this time, the road to Fontainebleau becomes one of the most chic places in the agglomeration of Melun.
It was in 1934 that the Parisian architect A. Dumesny built along this road, still bordered by two shady bridle paths, a neo-Norman style house, which he called Le Mesnil.
The Mesnil is designed on the model of the "Affolantes" of the banks of the Seine, these large bourgeois houses with atypical charm established in the second half of the nineteenth century that have inspired many artists. The stone-built ground floor, raised a few steps, supports a first half-timbered wine-colored floor, while the three second-floor bedrooms were built under attic.
Our family bought this house in December 2017, then renovated it to accommodate travelers and professionals looking for an original setting to spend a night or up to several weeks.
