An exclusive dining offer served at your door

Each morning, a full breakfast, included in the stay, is discreetly left on the cabin terrace to be enjoyed upon waking. 

For lunch and dinner, the team prepares generous meal baskets made with local products rigorously selected from artisans in the Seine-et-Marne region. Whether it's sharing platters, hot local dishes, or full brunches, these gourmet options allow you to extend the disconnection experience without ever breaking the privacy of your accommodation.

A wellness area and private Nordic baths

Relaxation is the central theme of this local getaway. To provide a true break from the urban pace, each cabin features its own wooden Nordic bath, set on the outdoor terrace and kept at a constant temperature. This private amenity allows you to soak in warm water at any time of day or night, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding nature, whether you are gazing out at the calm of the pond or the trees on the hillside.

To extend these moments of serenity, visitors can also head to thewellness area on the estate. This space, dedicated to physical and mental rejuvenation, rounds out the experience to ensure total relaxation throughout your getaway.

For those wishing to venture beyond the property, the medieval town of Moret-sur-Loing reveals its historic gates, mills, and picturesque alleys just a few minutes away.
