Ferienhaus auf dem Land nahe Paris

The house is a lovely old property with ancient roses and other aged plants accenting what might have once been an orchard. The house is warm and exudes the love of a family retreat. It suited our family of 11 perfectly. Rooms are pleasant and the beds are comfortable. A small negative is inconvenient closet/storage for so many people staying for a long period. Americans will find the washer/dryer smaller than normal, requiring more time/attention to laundry.

The well appointed kitchen invites cooking and family meals. The pool is very well maintained and a bonus if kids are in the group. Having made several trips to France, we found this less-travelled area to be very interesting and quiet. A great get-away if you have a stressful life. It seemed to us a more authentic French experience. Nearby towns of Rambouillet, Evreux, Houdan, and Anet provided plenty of history without the crowds of Chartre or Versailles, though they are within a very easy drive. We were treated to witnessing the wheat harvest, showcasing the unique gold color made famous by Van Gogh and other impressionists.

If Paris is your main interest, you may find the one hour commute burdensome. Our time there was unseasonably hot, adding to the fatigue of train/metro travel.

Area restaurants and patisseries were wonderful, though the town of Orgerus essentially closes for August, as do many businesses in France. There are many wonderful markets with very fresh produce, meats and BREAD. Our host was charming and accommodating, a man one would treasure as a friend. Highly recommend La Pommeraie!

We loved our two weeks in June in Orgerus. The house and garden are beautiful, comfy, large and well equipped. On the outskirts of town, it allows for French village life away from mass tourism. Lots to do and great for kids as they can enjoy the pool, horse riding, the Thoiry zoo, Disneyland and Asterix park, which is also a wonderful experience for grown ups. The location is excellent and during our stay we also visited Paris, Versailles, Orléans, Chartres and Giverny.

We have rented properity all over Europe but Michel´s house and his hospitality made our time in Orgerus unforgettable and a 5 star experience.The house, surroundings and host lived up to all our best expectations, and we give them our best recommendation, hoping to return before long.

Vous recherchez un gîte, au calme, proche de Versailles, Paris, Thoiry, Rambouillet, la vallée de Chevreuse... ?

Ne cherchez pas, vous avez trouvé !

A moins d'une heure de Paris, 30 minutes de Versailles en voiture ou par le train (gare toute proche), vous trouverez calme et quiétude dans ce gîte très bien entretenu à 1 minute du bourg d'Orgerus et de ses commodités !

Nous étions 3 familles, soit 11 personnes, à pouvoir profiter des 3 salles d'eau, WC, 4 chambres, grande cuisine et immense séjour avec sa cheminée. Le tout dans un grand parc, adossé à un petit bois.

Et si vous louez en saison, vous pourrez profiter d'une piscine (non testée car à Noël, elle n'est pas en service.)

A recommander (ou pas... pour être sûr de pouvoir relouer) !!!

Perfect house for either relaxing and doing nothing or for visiting Paris. It is very well equipped with a lovely pool, good kitchen, lots of space and a wonderful garden. We visited Paris and the zoo at Thoiry, both an easy short drive away. Thoroughly recommended and the owner Michel was very helpful and keen to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Wij zijn er een week met ons gezin geweest en hebben ons prima vermaakt. Alles is aanwezig voor een fijn verblijf. Een rustige omgeving grote tuin met een mooi zwembad.
