Maison de Maître
Nestled between the Seine and the Fontainebleau forest, this historic
"Maison de Maître" is just 45 minutes from Paris by train or car.
Within walking distance of a picturesque 17th-century village with all amenities — butcher, baker, grocery store, and three restaurants — you have direct access to hundreds of miles of walking and biking trails threading through the forest. In the summer, swimming, paddle-boarding and boating on the Seine are all possible (we’re upstream from the Marne and from Paris).
There is a charming 100 square meter gate house on the property.
