Nice house but too far from Paris
Review Submitted: October 25, 2008
Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed in this cosy country home for 6 nights during our recent trip to France. The Idea was to find a "home base" suitable for exploring Paris and its vicinity.
The house is very nice, recently renovated, and very comfortable. It is well equipped with everything one might find at IKEA, and lacks nothing other than English speaking channels on the sat TV.
The main disadvantage is the location. It is listed as being in Ile-de-France/Rambouillet, while actually it is located in Centre/Eure et Loir, much closer to Dreux than Rambouillet. As a result, the 45 min drive to Paris promised in the listing, might be true if riding a Motorcycle on the weekend. In reality, driving a Minivan at legal speed while negotiating small country roads, creeping behind behemoth agricultural vehicles, and snailing morning traffic to Paris, you can figure on double that timing at least.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and liked the house, but felt a bit misled.
