Holiday House in Chateau-Landon, Nr. Fontainebleau, Ile de France
House in Picturesque Village Steeped in History, Country Views
Quiet Location with Pretty Sunny Garden, 5 mins Walk to Village Shops
Sleeps 4/6 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
The house sits on the edge of a beautiful medieval village south of Fontainebleau. Perched on a rocky spur, Chateau-Landon was for hundreds of years at the crossroads of military, commercial and religious routes. The property has a quiet location with partly walled garden front and back, back terrace with views across a small valley -perfect for eating outside. Living accommodation on ground floor with games room in basement leading directly onto back garden. Ideal property for couples or families with children offering good security with secure gated parking within the property. Croissants at any of the three boulangeries or home-made food at the traiteur are a stone's throw away-as are local restaurants. An excellent base for exploring Paris, Fontainebleau, Barbizon, the Loire Valley, chateaux, vineyards (Sancerre, Chablis..) and also a charming spot for walking, cycling (bikes at the house) or just enjoying French rural life.

Guest comments
Thankyou so much for renting your lovely cottage to us. We were very comfortable there and most reluctant to come home. We ate out on the terrace and explored the village and its surroundings which were delightful. Vaux-le-Vicompte was a real treat. All in all, a lovely holiday and the cottage was home from home for a week. Many thanks and Best Wishes
