Close to ecotours, kayaking, and more, this family-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 15-minute drive to Lac d'Orient or the 20-minute drive to Troyes Forêt d'Orient Golf (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1033-sq-ft cottage, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and soap. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities. Other amenities include a dining area, bed sheets, an ironing board, and heating.
