In the heart of the Chevreuse Valley, less than an hour from Paris, the Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay offers a delightful escape in a setting rich in history and serenity. This former Cistercian abbey, meticulously restored, stands majestically amidst an 80-hectare park, inviting a total immersion in an aristocratic past blended with discreet modernity.
The renovation orchestrated by the Paris Society group, under the artistic direction of Cordélia de Castellane, has preserved the authenticity of the site while adding a touch of contemporaneity. The rooms and suites, spread across the abbey, the stables, and various pavilions, offer cozy comfort. Each space has been designed to reflect the spirit of the old buildings with rustic elegance and touches of modern design, providing visitors with an experience that is both luxurious and full of character.
The estate offers a variety of activities to enrich everyone's stay. Whether it's boat rides on the pond, yoga sessions in the heart of nature, or a cultural escapade in the abbey's multiple lounges, every moment is an invitation to relaxation and discovery. The spa, located in the former stables, offers exclusive treatments in partnership with the Tata Harper brand, ensuring an unparalleled wellness experience.
On the culinary side, the offer is just as rich and varied. From the elegant Chasses dining room, the former Rothschild hunting lodge, to the Monks' Refectory, each restaurant delights the taste buds with its culinary offerings that blend tradition and innovation. Lovers of good taste will also be charmed by the estate’s bars, providing an ideal setting to unwind after a day of exploration.
