less than an hour from Paris
In the heart of the Vallée de Chevreuse, the air is fresher, the horizon more distant and the change of scenery immediate.
Hop on a bike and set off to explore the forest just before snack time. If your calves are covered in mud and your cheeks are flushed, that’s a good sign. A game of pétanque, molkky or board games – this time the aperitif is well deserved! The coals are hot and the prime rib is tasty. The evening is filled with laughter, song and forgetfulness.
One last caress for Sailor the black labrador and I promise, you’ll go home with dirty shoes but a happy heart, a full belly and a free spirit!
Every weekend, the Barn offers a schedule of activities to keep young and old busy!
Riders, cyclists, Sunday sports enthusiasts, yoga lovers, experienced runners and walkers will all find everything they need to get away from it all. Each to his or her own way, outside or inside the estate. Structures and fitness trails have been specially designed for everyone. Paris is only 45 km away, but it has never seemed so far away…
Whether you’re a track or a muddy trail fan, a forest slalom or a tarmac road, cyclists are in heaven on the edge of the Vallée de Chevreuse. Gravel friendly!
The commune of Bonnelles is crossed by the cycle path leading from Notre-Dame de Paris to Mont Saint-Michel (the Véloscénie).
At Le Barn, the first step out of your room is synonymous with escape. While there are countless opportunities for walks within the estate itself, the surrounding area is criss-crossed by numerous short and long-distance footpaths.
Known for its tour of the Ile-de-France region, the GR1® winds its way between the Rambouillet forest and the Vallée de Chevreuse. Alternatively, the GR655®, the long route to Santiago de Compostela, passes through the commune of Bonnelles.
– At Le Barn, horses are everywhere you look. Backing onto the Haras de la Cense, a mecca for the human-horse relationship, Le Barn offers guests the chance to enjoy personalised rides, as well as introductions to an approach to the animal on foot and mounted.
