Want to extend your holiday for a weekend this autumn? Far from the hustle and bustle of Paris and the excitement of September, these five top-of-the-range hotels invite you to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet, less than two hours from the capital!
The Domaine de Primard
Under the aegis of the prestigious Les Domaines de Fontenille group, the Domaine de Primard, located an hour west of the capital in the commune of Guainville, sits in bucolic surroundings ideal for a weekend close to Paris. The estate’s 40 hectares of large rose-filled gardens are the perfect place to come across Highland cows, donkeys and a variety of birds as you stroll through the countryside. Not forgetting the gardens of Giverny, Claude Monet’s source of inspiration, and a number of nearby châteaux, including Château d’Anet and Château de Diane de Poitiers. As you pass through the doors of this eighteenth-century residence, you’ll discover a romantic, gentle atmosphere. The decor of the forty-odd rooms and suites is refined and subtly thought-out, with delicate touches of colour and furnishings reminiscent of family country homes. Domaine de Primard is also renowned for its gastronomic experience. The Michelin-starred Les Chemins is run by Romain Meder, who works closely with the gardener Gérard. The dishes echo the gardens of the five-star hotel and focus on plants. Chez Martin, the bistro orchestrated by Géraud Dupuis, is set alongside the orchard, where local ingredients and the vegetable garden are given pride of place. Book your Saturday evening to take advantage of the barbecues in season. And after enjoying a meal in one of these culinary areas, a moment of relaxation in the 450m2 spa is more than welcome.
