Description for Gite

In the horse city of Maisons-Laffitte, we have meticulously restored this accommodation in the former stables, exuding a quintessentially "French" charm. Whether you're a tourist or a business traveler, you'll relish in the rare and unique ambiance we offer.

Step into a gray Trianon paved courtyard adorned with antique furniture, comfortable chairs, and carpets on a light wood floor. The curtains and bedspread are made of exquisite toile de Jouy fabric, while the leather-covered desk, bronze sconces, and crystal chandelier add an elegant touch. The dining experience is enhanced by our tasteful crockery and high-quality Egyptian cotton bed linens.

We have taken care to ensure modern comforts are provided, including a dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, oven, extractor hood, espresso machine, refrigerator, freezer, a separate bedroom with a 160-bed, and two beds in the living room. Entertainment options include a color TV with cable, DVD player, printer, wireless internet, telephone, and even essentials like an iron and ironing board, hairdryer, and vacuum cleaner.

The train station is just an 8-minute walk away, allowing you to reach Paris easily via the RER A line (10 minutes to La Defense, 15 minutes to Champs Elysées), or the SNCF train, which takes you to Saint Lazare station in 20 minutes, near renowned department stores like Printemps and Galeries Lafayette. The RER A line also conveniently serves Disneyland.

Within a 10-minute walk to the city center, you'll discover The Grocery Longueil, a famous delicatessen in the region, as well as a supermarket, hard-discount store, numerous restaurants, bakeries, and more. The city park, originally built in the seventeenth century by Mansart, is home to many stunning mansions, two of which have been converted into gourmet restaurants.

If you're a horse enthusiast, the nearby racecourse offers the opportunity to admire the stables and watch thoroughbreds train. You can also partake in horseback riding, golfing, or take a leisurely stroll in the beautiful Saint Germain en Laye forest (only 10 minutes away).
