Maison de Maître
Nestled in the northern point of the Fontainebleau forest is a historic 12 room “Maison de Maître” only 45 minutes by train or by car from Paris.
The house is walking distance from a picturesque 17th century village with all amenities (butcher, baker, grocery store and three restaurants). Surrounding the village are hundreds of miles of walking and biking trails. In the summer, swimming, paddle-boarding and boating on the Seine are all possible (we’re upstream from the Marne and from Paris so the water is clean).
