August 2024AMAZING HISTORIC STAY
We loved the history at Cheateau de Fontenay which was explained in details, oh so interesting... It is very near some amazingly famous chateau so day trips were fantastic. Thank you to the owners for having us to stay in their home.”

August 2024Majestic castle
The castle is like stepping back into the 1500’s when it was constructed. But with all the necessary comforts of today — like a beautiful pool and amazing coffee machine. Our hosts were very helpful with understanding what to do in the area. It’s also an easy train ride to Paris for day trips. Perfect trip for biking, canoeing, vineyards, and market day in local villages. Don’t miss the opportunity to book a trip here. ”
