Château de la Bûcherie – 3* hotel & bistronomic restaurant

Who’s it for?

For lovers of nature, gastronomy and well-told stories, looking for a refined haven of peace less than an hour from Paris.

The pitch:

A mythical 19th-century residence, Château de la Bûcherie, once owned by publisher Ambroise Firmin-Didot, has retained its literary and romantic soul.

The 33 rooms, each different from the next, harmoniously blend antique parquet flooring, antique furniture and modern comforts, while a self-catering cottage offers an intimate bubble in the heart of the estate. In terms of food, the Cambrousse restaurant sublimates plants and the seasons, in a sincere locavore approach, thanks to the permaculture vegetable garden and producers from the Vexin region. Here, everything invites you to slow down: a massage in the heart of nature, a book by the fire or a stroll in the 65-hectare park of preserved nature.

How to get there:

By car from Paris, take the A13 towards Mantes-la-Jolie, then the D983 to Saint-Cyr-en-Arthies.

We like :

• The secret library, Ambroise Firmin-Didot’s legacy, accessible on request for an immersion in the 19th century.
• The six-person “Le Moulin” gîte, designed for intimate stays with hotel services.
• Close proximity to Giverny and the landscapes that inspired the Impressionists.
• The possibility of privatizing the château for tailor-made events, weddings or green seminars.
