Wow! Our group loved Helene’s place. The town is 1 hour train from Paris and you can get a taxi to the house although don’t rely on Uber/bolt. The pool area is wonderful and the grounds of the house have a lot to offer. The bedrooms are large and quite a lot of them have ensuites. The second house is attached to the main house and offers a quieter space for those that want it. The only issue our group found was some struggled to sleep because the house only has windows to cool down at night and there were also lots of bugs. Someone in our group also fell down the stairs and broke their foot, the stairway is a bit steep in case you have elderly people. The second house had a lot of bees inside the house, I think there is a nest somewhere that needs to be relocated. All in all, a fantastic house with a great set up. We had the best time.

The villa is beautiful, with plenty of space for family and friends, and a gorgeous shop for organic food open a couple of days a week. There is a main house as well as a smaller house with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and its own small kitchen and living room, which was good for us because the people with children were able to stay separately from those without. There is a pool, foosball, ping pong, bikes, and walking or biking distance to good bouldering and countryside. Be aware that the property is shared by those working on the farm, and that it is an active office space. The pool is both opened and closed by someone running the space. One thing that could be significantly alleviated by the hosts is more mosquito prevention indoors. Screens on the windows, nets on the beds, fans in each room would go a very long way. As it was everyone was severely bitten. The property is beautiful and the temperature is perfect at night, but unfortunately we all had to keep our windows closed, which meant it was hot and stuffy to sleep. There were also giant hornets who came indoors at night, and again some sort of screens or other prevention would make a significant difference there.

We wanted a family setting for a work event and this place worked really well. Very helpful host, nice sleeping and communal areas, a projector and wifi connection for presentations etc. and a cozy fire for evening chats. Would recommend for anyone looking to do similar with their team.
