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 several 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. The lakeside setting and the abbey's historic stonework remain the property's defining architectural features.
