Best Weekend Getaway Near Paris

Casa Rosalie, 1.5 Hours from Paris

A true favorite among these forest cabins that are neither rustic nor simple. Casa Rosalie offers three eco-friendly and elegantly decorated houses where you can disconnect in the small forest of Perche.

On 2.7 hectares of land purchased by former Parisians Bertrand L'Yvart and Anne-Cristelle Ruzel, there is a small lake, as well as the Slow, Friendly and Moon houses designed for 2 to 7 people. All offer a stunning view of the forest thanks to large balcony windows along the house walls. They let in morning light gently, awakening softly without exposing guests to direct sunlight since the houses are set back.

La Casa Slow, the furthest of all, even has its own private heated pool year-round. And if wind blows too strongly outside or rain from unpredictable weather falls, you can take a hot bath in an exquisite bathroom overlooking the more intimate part of the forest. Here, time stands still and sounds of nature soothe.

As for swimming, the other cabins also offer relaxation. Casa Friendly has its own small private pool, while guests of Casa Moon enjoy privileged access to a Nordic heated pool up to 40°C over a wooden fire pit with a view of the lake.
