We are located in a quiet country village, 70 km (44 miles) southwest of Paris, roughly midway between Rambouillet and Chartres. For day trips to Versailles and Paris, you can drive or you can catch the train at our local station (Epernon), which is 10 minutes away.
However, there is no public transportation between our village and Epernon. You, therefore, need to have a car if you plan on staying with us.
