Unique stone retreat one hour from Paris

Just an hour from Paris, this vacation rental—set in a former stone quarry—offers the tranquility of the French countryside while remaining close to Chantilly, Compiègne, Soissons, and Reims. The tall trees surrounding the property and the 5,000 m² garden set the tone for your stay.

Exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and antique furniture found at flea markets give the interior a character all its own. The house has been renovated to preserve the charm of an old residence, featuring raw materials and objects that tell their own stories.

The 5,000 m² garden features a terrace, a barbecue, and a ping-pong table. On long summer evenings, you can dine al fresco or settle under the trees for a quiet read.

The region is full of great places to visit: the Ganot cheese shop to discover Brie de Meaux, La Ferme Moret for goat cheese, and Brick à Brack for fine dining featuring local produce. The Château de Pierrefonds and its village are definitely worth a visit, as is the Château de Chantilly.
