This is a lovely house north of Houdan. There are two large salons, one downstairs and one upstairs, two good-sized bedrooms and two smaller ones, all very nicely decorated. The kitchen is well designed and efficient (be very, very careful with the Japanese cast iron tea kettle!) and the bathrooms are wonderful. The beds and linens are very good. For Americans who like to read at night, the lighting is a bit dim. The owner is wonderful - he is very helpful and concerned that you have a pleasant stay. The internet service was broken for our first three days and he worked hard to get it reconnected. The location is good for visits to Anet, Dreux, Evreux, Montfort l'Amaury, Giverny, and Chartres. Houdan is apparently the end station of an RER line into Paris, which would make it convenient to go into Paris without driving. A very good vacation home - we would recommend it.
