About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Fournil gîte is a fully renovated former farmhouse dating from 1850.

Indulge in the charm of "L'Ancien Fournil," a unique and light-filled cottage nestled in the heart of a charming village in the French Vexin region. This former 1850s building, completely renovated, promises you a most comfortable stay in an authentic setting.
Located in the valley of the famous Impressionist painters, in close proximity to Monet's garden, Van Gogh's house, Maurice Ravel's residence, and Thoiry Zoo, "L'Ancien Fournil" offers you privileged access to the cultural and natural treasures of the region.
Ideally positioned, just a stone's throw away from the A13 highway and between Rouen and Paris, you can easily reach must-visit sites and cities such as Versailles (45 minutes), Paris, and Rouen (1 hour).

Endroit parfait et tranquille
Des le debut Gerard et Louisa ont ete exceptionnel. La maison est vraiment belle. Meme si c'est un vieille construction, l'interieur est moderne et propre. Toutes les choses necessaires sont la. A 5 minutes d'auto des marches d'alimentation. Proche de Rouen et Paris. Nous y retournerons sans doute quand on reviens vers Paris

Beautiful property, garden and veranda. Property was lovely and clean with everything we needed available. Hosts are very friendly and hospitable. As it was easter the host had even created an egg hunt in the garden which our kids enjoyed when they arrived! The location was good for access to Paris (1 hr drive) and Disneyland Paris (1.5 hrs drive) which was main purpose of our trip. As a bonus we discovered that it is also just 25 mins drive from Monet’s house and garden which was very much enjoyed on one of our more relaxing days. To round off a great week we accepted the host’s kind invitation to the local village Friday night social and the kids tried snail and the adults practised their pigeon French! Thank you to Gerard and Louisa for going out of your way to being so hospitable!

We are a mixed group of tourists from several places in Europe, none of us spoke excellent french, who were there for a short stay of 8 days. To know, the hosts live on-site in their own little cottage. This meant that when we arrived from our late flight at around 22:30, he was there and waiting for us to check in, which was a welcome relief. The hosts Gerard and his wife are lovely, and extremely hospitable. They were welcoming to their home and showed us everything we needed to know for a lovely stay. The house is much bigger than we expected. There are two good-size bedrooms and a lounge, which has two sofabeds. with an upstairs and downstairs WC, which caters well for a mixed group. There is a kitchen, induction hobs and various items of cookware and crockery, in addition to some other cooking necessities which happily did the job, and a balcony and a gazebo for outside dining. Other quirks include a log fire, which we didn't really use given the 35+c temperatures(!) and a lovely plum tree, which we did use. Lots. Overall, highly recommended, and will probably come again.

Ruhe und Entspannung
Wir waren 1 Woche da, wurden herzlich empfangen und genossen die Ruhe. Der Gastgeber war zuvorkommend und bei Fragen immer behilflich. Ein gepflegtes Haus, es hat an nichts gefehlt. 2 getrennte Bäder, Gästetoilette, komplett ausgestattete Küche. Ein Garten mit 2 Terassen zur freihen Verfügung. Viel Natur und Ruhe rundherum. Nahegelegene Ausflugsziele sowie Nähe zur Metropole Paris mit unendlich vielen Möglichkeiten.

Tolle Unterkunft
Die Unterkunft entspricht in allen Bereichen den Beschreibungen, ist mit allen notwendigen Dingen ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Die Vermieter sind nett und unkompliziert, dabei hilfsbereit und mit Tipps zu Unternehmungen zur Stelle, wenn es erwünscht ist; ansonsten halten sie sich eher im Hintergrund. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Stadtausflüge nach Paris (am besten per Bahn) oder in die nähere Umgebung (Tal der Impressionisten). Wir können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen!

Ruhe und Erholung in der Nähe von Paris
Wir haben die Ferienwohnung genutzt um Paris und die Umgebung zu besuchen. Nach den Besuchen im quirligen Paris ein Ort der Entspannung und Ruhe. Wir sind herzlich aufgenommen worden und haben uns gut mit dem gastfreundlichen Vermieter unterhalten können. Im Kühlschrank stand eine Flasche Cidre für uns, es gab Äpfel aus dem eigenen Garten und auch andere Kleinigkeiten wie Gewürze, Shampoo, o.ä. waren vorhanden. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt, es hat nichts gefehlt. Sie ist sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich renoviert worden und sehr sauber. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Empfehlung für Paris Besucher: - Mit dem Auto zum Bahnhof "Mantes-la-jolie" fahren und dort im Parkhaus abstellen. - Am Bahnhof sofort das Familienticket für Zug, Bus, Metro, Funiculaire kaufen, ca. 18,-€/Person/Tag. - Die Zuglinie endet im Gare St. Lazare, wo man in Bus und Metro umsteigen kann. Vielen Dank für den angenehmen Aufenthalt.

Fijn verblijf
We verbleven een week in dit vakantiehuis. Met de wagen is het een goeie uitvalsbasis om verschillende bezienswaardigheden in Frankrijk te verkennen. Het huisje zelf is heel net en biedt zowat alle comfort die je kan verwachten. Bij hele warme dagen is er een mobiele airco ter beschikking. We herinneren ons ook een heel hartelijke gastheer die ons, net zoals zijn vrouw, goed heeft ontvangen en die we gedurende de week ook regelmatig hebben gezien en gesproken (ze wonen op dezelfde site). We zouden deze locatie dus zeker aanbevelen.
