In the beautiful wooded area of Val d’Oise, just 30 minutes from Paris by car, stands La Clairière de la Reine Hortense.

This spacious family home, located on the edge of the Montmorency Forest, sits in the middle of a vast 2.5-hectare green park from which several hiking trails begin. Put on your boots and enjoy long peaceful walks beneath the centuries-old trees.

The perfect balance between antique furniture, vibrant colors, and authenticity gives this residence a sense of warmth and conviviality. Let yourself be charmed by this property where noble materials such as terracotta tiles, stone, and Versailles parquet take center stage.
In winter, you’ll enjoy endless evenings by the fireplace, while in the warmer months, you can relax in the traditional swimming basin, surrounded by nature.

Ideal for family reunions or gatherings with friends, La Clairière is also a convenient retreat for groups attending professional events, thanks to its proximity to the Villepinte Exhibition Center, Le Bourget, and Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport. A superb haven for a peaceful countryside getaway, the house offers all modern comforts.

The History of the PlaceThrough the Centuries

Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte and Queen Hortense:
In 1804, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, brother of Emperor Napoleon I and future King of Holland, acquired the two châteaux of Saint-Leu. After demolishing the older one, he settled in the Château du Bas with his young wife, Hortense de Beauharnais. Located on the hillside, the property was to become “one of the most beautiful imperial residences.”

The château, now gone, was surrounded by a park of over 80 hectares. Today, marked trails at the edge of the forest allow visitors to imagine the imperial gardens, “In the footsteps of Queen Hortense.”
