Be whisked back to the times of the Impressionists at the Domaine de la Goulée, for a holiday that you’ll be sure to remember: this luxury guesthouse is located in the Vexin Français region, not far from Giverny. Here, in this magnificent late 18th century estate farmhouse, we have luxury suites and bedrooms, two reception rooms in a traditional farm building for all your special events (suitable for up to 100 guests) and on-site catering. You’ll have the opportunity to discover the cuisine enjoyed by Monet and his contemporaries, enjoy our delicious breakfasts with fresh produce straight from the kitchen garden and the orchard, or, when the sun is shining, to go for a picnic in the Estate fields!
Sited within beautiful landscaped grounds, we have a combined outdoor/indoor swimming pool, hewn from the age-old stones of an old barn, along with a spa (sauna, shower and on-site massage/hairdressing service). New for Spring 2011 – a dormitory room containing around ten beds and shower facilities.
If you’re on a longer holiday, why not… ♦♦ Visit the church at Vétheuil, such a source of inspiration in Monet’s paintings, then there’s the grave of his wife, Camille, in the little cemetery, Monet’s house and the Museum of American Art at Giverny, the Château de la Roche Guyon, Van Gogh’s last home at Auvers sur Oise (in the famous auberge Ravoux inn). ♦ Sports lovers will be able to make the most of the many golf courses located in the surrounding area (amongst others, the Villarceaux, du Prieuré and Seraincourt courses...), or take to the air in a glider from the Chérence airfield. Why not go for a spot of fishing in the Lac de Genainville or for some family fun, there’s the Boucles de Seine outdoor activities and leisure centre at Lavacourt or the aerial assault course at Magny en Vexin...
Various special events are held during the course of the year at the Domaine de la Goulée:
The Boatmen’s Ball (Bal des Canotiers) ♦ The Old-Tyme organic hay harvesting festival (fête des foins bio à l'ancienne) ♦ The honey harvest
