Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Paris for a weekend? Le Barn Hôtel is just the place. Located in the Parc Naturel Régional de la Haute Vallée de Chevreuse, just 45 minutes from Paris, it's the perfect place to cut yourself off from the outside world, while enjoying a charming lifestyle.
You won't be bored at the Barn, because nature rhymes with outdoor activities, and you're spoilt for choice! If you're a horse lover, the hotel is located right next to the Harras de la Cense, and horse rides and introductions are available. However, we advise you to book your activities with the Harras in advance of your arrival at the Barn. As far as pets are concerned, dogs are welcome at the hotel and can also enjoy a break away from the hustle and bustle of Paris!
The Barn also has paths for walking, running and cycling (both electric and non-electric bikes are available). There's also a pond with a rowing boat, and it's very pleasant to relax with a book on one of the deckchairs in the middle of nature . If the weather doesn't cooperate, don't worry! This high-country retreat offers a wide range of board games, yoga classes and a ping-pong table in the common areas.
But after all that activity, what better way to pamper yourself? The Barn Hôtel has a wellness area worthy of the name and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Hammam, sauna and even outdoor Nordic baths are freely accessible from 9am to 8pm. For those who wish, a massage menu is available, ranging from €100 to €140 depending on duration, to help you unwind from the stress of Parisian life.
The rooms at the Barn Hotel are cosy and well thought-out, with each room having its own little terrace overlooking nature, and if you're on a higher floor, you'll feel like you've got your head in the trees! At Le Barn, every detail counts and the decor is meticulous. The bathrooms, retro and modern at the same time, are very pleasant and the toiletries are quality natural products. The bed and bedding are very comfortable, and for those who can't sleep with light, the opaque curtains are effective. A beautiful mix of modern and ancient! Rooms are available from €200 per night.
All day long, hotel guests can order drinks from the bar, for a snack or an aperitif in the early evening. The Barn Hôtel has its own 6.7° lager, well worth a visit. They also offer original cocktails , and will be delighted to share their recipes with you. Afterwards, you can sip your alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage in the hotel's garden, under the greenhouse or in the open air .
Now it's time for dinner! Thehotel's restaurant offers a complete menu with several starters, main courses and desserts, all reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of the dishes. Count on €10 to €12 for a starter, €21 to €25 for a main course and €10 for a dessert (€12 for the children's menu). The Barn restaurant has two large indoor halls under glass, and in fine weather you can dine outside.
For starters, the chicken kaarage is well worth the detour, as is the trout gravlax on focaccia, served generously. As for the main courses, the half duck breast with sweet potato crisp is perfect for gourmets and meat lovers! And sweet tooths won't be left out, with five desserts to choose from. All the produce served is fresh, either from the neighboring kitchen garden or from local producers. When night falls, the restaurant offers marshmallows for you to roast in a fire created in the garden for a truly soothing and convivial moment.
The next morning, you can choose to have the hotel breakfast until 10:30 a.m., in the form of a sweet and savory buffet, or wait for the brunch starting at 12 noon. In summer, for €65, you can choose from a wide range of homemade salads, grilled meats and fish (chicken, pork, beef, octopus, prawns...), sweet dishes and, as far as drinks are concerned, unlimited rosé, white wine and beer. In winter, the Barn Hôtel's brunch formula is transformed with traditional comfort dishes such as beef bourguignon or roast chicken.
If you're looking to get away from it all, Barn Hôtel is the place for you. Whether you're on your own, with friends, family or as a couple, a nature getaway at Le Barn is sure to recharge your batteries and take your mind off the hustle and bustle of Paris.
