The most stylish country houses near Paris
It’s worth noting that a rural setting doesn’t rule out stylish homes; quite the opposite… Whether it’s an old mill in the Perche, a transformed farmhouse, a quaint house by the Seine, or a sprawling tree-lined estate, the bare minimum when heading to the countryside is to feel even better than at home.
To escape to the countryside, here are the best charming spots you need to know, easily accessible from Paris!
The Chevreuse Valley
A green getaway just an hour from Paris
Picnic in the park of La Rambolitaine.
The Chevreuse Valley can be enjoyed (and appreciated) all year round. Stroll through the Rambouillet Forest in search of mushrooms, hike around the charming villages of Dampierre-en-Yvelines or Saint-Rémy-les-Chevreuse, shop at the large market and then picnic in the park of the Palace of Versailles, or bike or ride horses around the ponds of Hollande… There’s no shortage of options and activities!
Lunch on the grass at La Rambolitaine.
To stay there, local characterful buildings have been carefully renovated by inspired owners and welcome us for a vacation: Au Bout du Verger in the picturesque village of Les Molières and La Rambolitaine in Poigny-La-Forêt.
The former is a charming local pavilion surrounded by orchards and fields, exuding an Asian vibe inside. It’s a unique countryside home, spacious at 150 m², accommodating up to 15 guests. The latter, nestled in a nine-hectare wooded park, consists of a former farmhouse and its stables transformed into a country house with a pool, just an hour from Paris. A family property immersed in nature, designed for 15 guests. Both feature seven bedrooms, making them perfect for a weekend or even longer. You feel right at home, thanks to the owners’ warm and attentive hospitality.

The Perche
The promise of a countryside getaway in the Perche
A green getaway at Maison French Bon Temps.
It’s no longer a secret that the Perche has many advantages: its proximity to the capital, its picturesque villages perfect for leisurely strolls all day, its gastronomy—Calvados, cider, black pudding, goose rillettes—and its landscapes to be admired during a walk or hike…
When it comes to accommodations, the homes in the Perche certainly don’t disappoint! Une Maison dans le Perche and Maison French Bon Temps charm guests with their 100% local appeal: terracotta tiles, stone, brick, and lime, all set in vast gardens nestled between meadows and woods. It’s the perfect opportunity for a well-deserved countryside escape. At Val Gaudry, you’ll spend your holidays in a spacious, fully renovated 19th-century stone farmhouse that you won’t want to leave.
Another revamped Percheron building for the delight of travelers: Le Moulin, reimagined with a stylish and cozy design, set in the heart of a picturesque garden. Architecture enthusiasts will want to check out Maison Sauvage, a contemporary cabin in the woods. With its spacious, well-equipped kitchen, large terrace, and thoughtful layout, the house is perfect for accommodating eight guests. With this lovely selection, this charming corner of the countryside invites us to explore the Perche for our next holiday!

Normandy
Delights us during a holiday between land and sea
With its bucolic landscapes, proximity to the sea, historical heritage, and gastronomy, Normandy makes its residents proud—and it’s easy to see why. Vacationers also fall under the spell of this corner of France. There’s no shortage of local accommodations, with options to suit every taste.
For a cozy tea-time getaway by the fire, the charming cottage La Roquerie is the place to be. Normandy is also home to grand buildings—manors and castles—ideal for larger groups. Maison Villeneuve and Château de Bernières are among them. For a different vibe, the Abbaye de Deauville offers a stunning 20-room property with exceptional sea views and a great location.

The charming indoor pool at Villa de Byans.
In the same seaside resort, the charming Villa de Byans is a rare gem, featuring an indoor pool. To explore one of Normandy’s largest cities, head to Laurence du Tilly’s property in Caen. After a day of hiking, walkers will appreciate recharging at Riverside House, a 19th-century bourgeois home located at the foot of the Seine. Put on your raincoat and your finest sailor shirt, and set off for Normandy!

Fontainebleau Forest
Let’s stay in the woods…
A favorite among Parisians, Fontainebleau Forest is the perfect getaway to escape the city’s frantic pace. In this peaceful natural setting, ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities, the vast wooded areas delight hikers and climbing enthusiasts. Don’t miss the Château de Fontainebleau and the charming hamlets nearby.
To the south of the forest, head to La Prairie, a 19th-century country house nestled in a green haven within a quaint village. The aptly named house can accommodate up to 24 guests for a week (or less) in the heart of nature. To explore the area, you can join a foraging workshop or bike to Fontainebleau Forest, the Gâtinais Natural Park, the Bourdelle Garden Museum, or the charming village of Barbizon, known as the home of the Impressionist school. The grass is certainly no greener elsewhere when you spend your holidays at La Prairie!

The Eure Valley
Holidays amid meadows and lush hills
Holidays amid meadows and lush hills
Less known than its neighboring areas, the Eure Valley is still worth the visit. Whether with family or friends, this region enchants everyone. With its abundant forests and fields, cultural tourism, cycling, and hiking opportunities, there’s no shortage of activities. Impressionism enthusiasts can take a trip to Giverny, while others can stroll along the banks of the Eure or wander through the charming villages of Pacy-sur-Eure and Pont-de-l’Arche to admire the typical Norman architecture.
Don’t forget to indulge in local specialties: Camembert, Livarot, teurgoule (rice pudding flavored with cinnamon), and cider, which can be found at a local market. For accommodation, head to Maison Crèvecœur, a true design gem nestled in a 4,000 m² wooded garden. It boasts a perfect location, close to village shops and nature.
