Introduction

This document aims at providing accurate and thorough pieces of information regarding sanitary measures implemented at Le Barn with regards to the situation post lockdown.

Our advice for a great stay

Although Le Barn has golf clubs, bikes and a wide range of accessories that you can borrow, we recommend that, whenever possible, you bring your own. Depending on your preferred activity, you can easily leave your equipment, etc, in our care until your return.

Our Tesla charging points

Our car park is equipped with Tesla “Superchargers”. Simply plug your vehicle in and leave it to charge whilst you enjoy a meal, or even just a coffee.

Our neighbours

The area around Le Barn has also attracted a number of artists and artisans. Emmanuel, in Bonnelles, will be delighted to explain the secrets of his organic beer as you explore his artisanal brewery. The little town of Chevreuse, three kilometres north of Le Barn, is home to L’Alchimiste, a veritable magician when it comes to creating syrups and cordials. Near the château in Rambouillet, the Bergerie Nationale is a state-run conservation centre for sheep. It welcomes children, introducing them to the basics of sustainable development as they discover how a farm works. With so much to see and do, don’t hesitate to ask our advice about what’s on during your visit.

Le Vestiaire

Le Barn offers all the advantages of a second home with none of the inconveniences. You can leave your equipment, etc, in the safety of our cloakroom from one visit to the next. Our Vestiaire has been designed to accommodate your fishing rods and boots, books and bikes, where they will patiently await your return.
