Le Moulin du Hameau de Courances
Beautiful french cottage to take a deep breath
The Hameau de Courances is approximately an hour from Paris and is close to the historical town of Fontainebleau and the famous ‘painters’ village’, Barbizon. Tucked away within the gardens of the Château de Courances, you will find Le Moulin, La Pompe and L’Atelier - once upon a time, each were very important to the daily running of the Château. The houses can be rented individually, or can interconnect to become one property. True to Pierres d’Histoire’s style, these cottages combine authenticity, elegance and comfort in a haven of peace, with the Château’s famous Japanese Garden right on their doorsteps. |

Le Moulin de Courances
Overlooking the Japanese Garden of Château de Courances, a waterfall cascades over the wheel of the Mill.
Accomodating 3 people, the Moulin is a haven of peace, lulled all day by the sounds of water. The unusual glass walled kitchen leads down into a large sitting room. A room perfect in winter with its stone fireplace and stuffed cozy sofa but also in summer with its small private garden opening directly in to the magnificent Japanese Garden. This Japanese Garden is in fact reserved only for the pleasure of the eyes, as it is too fragile to walk into. The stunning view brings immediate peace and quietude. The floor tiles, the wooden beams, and the “country chic” furniture gives a warm feel to the ambiance. A stay at the Moulin is a chance for those who visit, to appreciate what living simply but elegantly really means.
If you are a party of more than three, do not hesitate to reserve La Pompe and L’Atelier too. For more information please contact us.

Happy Guest !
