We had the opportunity to stay here for 1 absolutely pleasant night. We had the "Epopée" cabin with Nordic bath, which is no. 22 on the map below. Very intimate and very pleasant. We really loved the welcome from the whole team, the beauty of the estate and the château, and the total change of scenery.
We're in constant contact with the team's very friendly Alexia. We met in Paris in the offices of Coucoo Cabanes (in Saint-Ouen) to enrich this text.
Some useful information: the estate is open from early March to late November. Prices start at around €180 per night for 2 people, and breakfast is always included. Here's a map of the estate to help you find your way around on arrival.
Arriving on site is cinematic: the majestic château appears at the very end of the driveway. Turn left into the parking lot in front of reception. You'll receive instructions, your key and a map, and can then walk to your cabin. If required, the team can take you and your luggage by buggy to your cabin.
Planning a surprise? Almost anything is possible. Don't hesitate to make your request at the time of booking: floral decoration, cake in the tree house, petal trail or the services of a photographer, for example. If you wish to keep this a secret until the hut is discovered, please specify this during the booking process. The team is used to it, and will play along mischievously.
The cabins are perched (our video on site) between 7 and 13 meters high, among the branches of hundred-year-old oak trees. It's the perfect blend of unusual experience and great comfort. There are 20 Duo cabins for couples, and most have a Nordic bath.
Depending on the cabin you choose, you'll enjoy the following facilities: 16 to 25m² bedroom with queen-size bed, bed linen, sitting area, water, electricity, heating, natural sheep's wool insulation, bathroom with shower, tea area, Delonghi coffee bean machine, private terrace with magical view and Nordic bath heated to 40°C.
At the end of the day, it's not uncommon to catch a glimpse of wildlife, especially deer and hinds. It's on the well-mown grass of the golf course that you're most likely to see them, just as the sun is setting.
In the morning, a breakfast basket is delivered to the foot of your cabin. This is included in your reservation. On the menu: viennoiseries, half-tradition, yoghurt, apple juice, jam, honey and butter. We recommend you take it on the outdoor terrace. Only the sound of birdsong accompanies this gentle moment, with the occasional curious boat attracted by the Nordic bath.
There are extras: brunch basket with late check-out at 1pm instead of 11am (65€ for 2 people), romantic package with dried flower bouquet, small bottle of champagne, chocolate fondue and massage oil (75€ for 2 people) and massages in the wellness room near reception with rates starting at 65€ for 30 minutes. These are just a few examples, of course.
A few final tips:
1. Download your films, series and music before coming, as the cabins have no wifi and very poor internet reception (except at the summit).
2. Take a portable Bluetooth speaker if you want to listen to music.
3. A few books or board games are a must if you really want to switch off.
4. For the evening, raclette is very good, but it's slow because the cheese is heated by candlelight.
5. For lunch, there's a very good restaurant with a new glass roof opposite reception.
6. If it rains, Aigle boots and umbrellas are available at reception.
7. Don't bring a large suitcase if possible, but rather a small suitcase or backpack.
8. Bring along a few candles to create a pleasant atmosphere in the evening.
Les Cabanes des Grands Chênes is located in the heart of the Oise Regional Nature Park, less than an hour from Paris, France. Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport is just 30 minutes away. The estate lies in the heart of 3 magnificent forests: Halatte, Ermenonville and Compiègne.
Suggested activities include walking, tennis, cycling, golf on the estate or discovering Château de Raray, an architectural gem and the setting for Jean Cocteau's film La Belle et la Bête.
