Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay is a restored abbey estate in the Chevreuse Valley, around 45 minutes from Paris, where historic stone buildings, lakeside grounds and richly layered interiors create the feeling of a grand country house. The hotel’s rooms and suites are spread through characterful buildings, while salons, restaurants, bars and leisure spaces are designed for a relaxed, house-party atmosphere. Dining ranges from French country cooking to more playful venues, and the estate offers activities across the grounds. It is a countryside retreat defined by architecture, landscape and generous communal spaces.
