Plateau du Vexin Français — paysage rural autour du Clos des Vignes
The territory

The French Vexin,
our region.

Castles, medieval villages and the most beautiful walks in the Val-d’Oise — an unspoilt region between the Seine and the Oise, 45 minutes from Paris.

70,000 ha designated Forests & valleys 45 minutes from Paris
Why come here?

A a break in the countryside on the outskirts of the capital

Over 70,000 hectares of farmland, lush valleys and state-owned forests, just 45 minutes from the Place de l’Étoile. The French Vexin is one of the Île-de-France region’s best-kept secrets: no motorways running through it, no shopping centres, and villages that have remained unchanged since the 18th century.

It is this silence — rare and precious — that our guests come here to seek. And we help to prolong it, with every stay, by sharing a few favourite spots, passed on like a family secret.

Le parc et les étangs du domaine — nature préservée en Vexin
Regional Nature Park

A region preserved, as far as the eye can see

70,000 hectares of protected land, no motorways cutting through, villages that have remained unchanged since the 18th century. The French Vexin is best explored at a leisurely pace — that’s what makes it so special.
