An hour from Paris, Domaine de Primard is a romantic country house on the banks of the Eure, surrounded by gardens, roses, orchards and quiet water. The mood is polished but unforced: refined rooms in the chateau and garden houses, generous French cooking, a Susanne Kaufmann spa and long walks through grounds shaped for lingering rather than display. With Giverny close by and the capital within easy reach, Primard gives a weekend the feeling of a proper escape; pastoral French luxury at its most graceful, intimate and restorative.
