Forty-five minutes from Paris, in the rolling Essonne countryside, this house-hotel runs on an equestrian theme (yes, it really is a barn) and a farm-to-table kitchen ethos that keeps things slow and deliberate. City slickers and families mix easily here, there's enough to do, and enough space to do nothing. Long lunches, a lake for summer swims, and a design sensibility just smart enough to feel like staying at your horse-owning friend's very good home.

Hope you’ve packed your swimsuit. A swim in the lake first thing will set you up for a good day ahead.
9:00 AM
Settle into a table in the glass-roofed restaurant for crumbling croissants, French butter and just-made jams. Also coffee, lots of coffee.
10:18 AM
It’s a barn after all. Spot the horses playing about the grounds and Sailor, the resident black lab. Keen equestrians can grab a lesson at the nearby school.
12:30 PM
With such a simple seasonal menu, you can’t really go wrong: colourful platters of vegetables or flaky cod in green sauce are equally wholesome.
2:49 PM
Bikes are the best way to see this part of the Chevreuse Valley. Bop from village to village, stopping for little snaps here and there.
6:45 PM
Team up for a game of Mölkky. Don’t play hungry though, this boules-like game can be fiercely competitive.
8:15 PM
Tuck into a long late dinner and then curl up on your balcony from some pretty epic star gazing.

French plug
With all that bountiful French produce right on their doorstep, ingredients are local or picked from the garden.
Getting outdoors is celebrated: Bike ride, forest hike, morning stretch, pétanque, or a game of ping-pong.
They’ve installed Tesla Superchargers for a plug in and out situation.
