There’s a pitfall to couples’ anniversaries: routine. The same restaurant, the same bouquet, the same menu. This year, think outside the box — without having to travel across France. Just 45 minutes from Paris, the Vexin region provides the setting, and the Clos des Vignes the rest. Here are 7 ideas – feel free to mix and match them as much as you like.
1. One night in a suite with a jacuzzi
The old favourite, because it works: a suite with private jacuzzi, the fading light, a glass of champagne. Choose the suite to suit their personality — each of the estate’s 10 suites tells a different story.
2. The Chef’s Dinner
A birthday is best celebrated over a meal. La Table du Clos and Chef Cyril Ramon’s seasonal cuisine turn dinner into a special occasion — local produce from the Oise region, beautifully presented dishes and attentive service. Please let us know what the occasion is: we love to make these evenings extra special.
3. The couples’ spa treatment
The next morning, treat yourself to: a sauna, a steam room, followed by a couples’ massage at the spa. Two hours away from the hustle and bustle that are worth more than all the wrapped presents put together.
4. The surprise prepared in the bedroom
Rose petals on the bed, chilled champagne, a fresh bouquet on arrival: our little extras Book in advance, so that the surprise is complete the moment the door opens.
5. A stroll for two in the park
12 hectares, ponds, donkeys and horses: the estate’s grounds are perfect for leisurely walks and the sort of conversations we never seem to find the time for. Simple, free, precious.
6. A cultural getaway
If you’re staying for two days, treat yourself to an Impressionist interlude at Giverny and Auvers-sur-Oise, or a getaway to the Chantilly Castle. It makes returning to the estate all the more pleasant.
7. The box set for next time
Before you leave, pop the rest into a gift set for next year — or to treat a couple you care about to the same kind of break.
