First holiday in France

Our stay was just perfect. The cottage is in a really small rural village. The cottage is beautiful with everything you need and the garden looks down to the lake. The lake is perfect for some quiet relaxation time with a footpath all around. My husband is a keen carp man and was not disappointed with carp and bream and a personal best being broken. Alain and Michele thank you for your hospitality and our lovely stay. Visiting local Provins regularly for supplies and a good walk around a real pleasure. Fontainebleau was amazing and the recommendation of the champagne trail very worthwhile.

Really well maintained cottage. A particularly stunning master bedroom.

A wonderful holiday in a beautiful place. We loved Provins, what an unspoilt gem. Loved cycling and running around the lake at the cottage. Cycling some of the Champagne trail was fab. As ever in France we enjoyed great bread, Brie, pastries and champagne. The children loved the Aquatic Centre in Provins and the knight show at the foot of the walls. Trips to Disneyland and Paris were also highlights. Coming back to quality and spacious accommodation every night was wonderful. We loved the tasteful decor in the cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Guyard

After living in several countries, my French husband and I (American) returned to the home his family has lived in for several generations. The cottages are in the same hamlet, so we can provide advice on what to do in the region or in Paris. We are friendly hosts.

Après avoir vécu dans plusieurs pays, mon mari français et moi (américaine) sommes revenus dans la maison que sa famille habite depuis plusieurs générations. Les gîtes se trouvent dans le même hameau, nous pouvons donc vous donner des conseils sur ce qu'il y a à faire dans la région ou à Paris. Nous aimons échanger avec vous.

Dopo aver vissuto in diversi paesi, io (americana) e mio marito francese siamo tornati nella casa in cui la sua famiglia ha vissuto per diverse generazioni. I cottage si trovano nella stessa frazione, quindi possiamo dare consigli su cosa fare nella regione o a Parigi.
Ci piace parlare con i nostri ospiti.

Why they chose this property

My husband grew up in this hamlet, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and before. The Brie region is beautiful; one of the 'breadbaskets' of France with its vast fields of wheat, corn, barley...

Mon mari a grandi dans ce hameau, suivant les traces de son père, de son grand-père et avant lui. La région de la Brie est magnifique ; c'est l'un des "greniers à blé" de la France, avec ses vastes champs de blé, de maïs, d'orge...

Mio marito è cresciuto in questo borgo, seguendo le orme del padre, del nonno e prima ancora. La regione di Brie è bellissima; uno dei "panieri" della Francia con i suoi vasti campi di grano, mais, orzo...
