The setting
A Yvelines village, at the gates of everything
Chavenay is a small village on the Versailles plain: fields, a church tower, a bakery — and Paris 35 minutes away. That's the blend our guests come for: real countryside, close to everything.
What you come here for
Golf
The prestigious Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche golf club is our immediate neighbour, with some ten courses around it — including Le Golf National, host of the 2018 Ryder Cup. Ideal for a group golf trip.
Horses
The Versailles plain is horse country: riding schools and pony clubs surround the village, for seasoned riders and children's first lessons alike.
Nature
Country lanes and forests close by: walk, run or cycle straight from the house, out among the fields.
Châteaux
Versailles 20 minutes away, Saint-Germain-en-Laye close by — and lovely family outings all across the château country of the Yvelines.
For golfers
The house is surrounded by courses — the closest are minutes away, the region's great names within half an hour. Enough to play a different course every day of your stay.
