Description
A wonderful opportunity is now available to visitors to Versailles, where
the opulent Château de Versailles stands as one of the most visited attractions
in France. We have discovered a perfect place to stay in this lovely small city
with much to offer in addition to the Château. An exceptional accommodation in
the best residential neighbourhood of the city is the manor house, a
sophisticated, elegant mansion owned by Daniel-Etienne Hourdry, retired manager
of the famous Paris restaurant, Maxim's. Monsieur and Madame Hourdry have
created an oasis for guests who want stay in the Paris area. The location of
their exceptional chambres d'hôtes is convenient to the attractions in the
countryside near Paris and Versailles, in particular Giverny, home of Claude
Monet, and is less than a half hour by RER train to Paris. The five guest rooms
- one is a suite with a sitting room - all have views over the garden, some have
balconies and from one you can see the Park of Versailles. While at the house,
guests can relax in the quiet, comfortably furnished library complemented with
Louis XVI pier glass, portraits of ancestors and a good collection of books, or
in the salon to share conversation with fellow travellers or play the piano.
Breakfast and dinner are served in an elegant dining room or guests can enjoy
afternoon tea and cakes (baked by your hostess - she will share her recipes with
you) in the sunny conservatory surrounded by nature. M. Hourdry also makes his
home available for group functions such as dinners, lunches and cocktail
parties. And, just-married couples are attentively cared for if they choose to
honeymoon in Versailles and be guests at this refined and gracious property. the
property is the ideal accommodation for those who seek the atmosphere of a
country home without foregoing the convenience of city life.
Weddings & Receptions
You taste buds will be excited with what is on your plate, as well as on the
walls. You will be welcomed to a wonderful table on which your hosts will share
their personal conception of break-fast : a mixture of originality, richness and
quality of the products reveal the talents of the cook. Surronded by lush
vegetation, the conservatory is an inviting place to contemplate nature, while
enjoying a nice cup of tea. A few step away, a promenade in the gardens awaits
you.
