Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay

The late 19th-century property was acquired by the Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild and retains a luxurious, cozy country estate feel. Rooms and suites are spread over multiple unique buildings. L'Abbaye, the most prestigious building, Les Haras, once home to the estate’s former stables, and La Ferme, the latest addition. Expect toile, florals, and plush furniture along with classic bathrooms.

Start the day with breakfast in Le Réfectoire des Moines, where candlelit arches set the scene — or at La Trattoria di Bambini for guests staying in La Ferme. For elegant French cuisine, dine at Les Chasses in the former Rothschild hunting lodge. The cozy L’Auberge offers rustic country fare, while La Trattoria di Bambini also serves wood-fired pizzas and homemade tiramisu.

The spa is housed in the former stud farm and offers a wide range of treatments along with a hammam and sauna. Cool off in the pool and stretch out in a yoga class. Recharge in the gym, then unwind with a sound meditation.

Play on the padel floating courts or outdoor tennis courts. Explore the estate by bicycle, then relax in the gaming room and private cinema. On the lake, rowboats and pedal boats offer a quiet way to take in the landscape. Families can visit the farm animals and join activities at the Kids Club.
