Today I won’t bore you with words but with pictures to show you the amazing place we went to yesterday during this hot summer day. Seeing everyone leaving for the holidays made us want to go somewhere  to change our minds We didn’t want to go too far from Paris so we decided to go at the Abbey des Vaux de Cernay which is in the valley of Chevreuse, close to the Forest of Rambouillet (less than an hour drive from Paris).blogDSCF9516blogDSCF9712 blogDSCF9706In this 75 hectares domain you can have a look at this unbelievably beautiful abbey and the ruins of the church. The abbey has been transformed into a luxury hotel-restaurant. It seems to be the perfect place to get married.blogDSCF9527 blogDSCF9528 blogDSCF9530 blogDSCF9641blogDSCF9540 blogDSCF9546

At the Haras de Rothschild there is also a hotel called “l’Hôtel des Haras” where you can stay for the night.blogDSCF9702 blogDSCF9698 blogDSCF9693The abbey is surrounded by nature, blue everywhere and most of all you can have a delightful moment of rest in a magical place  !

The Saint Thibault’s fountain. For the record, legend says that St Louis made Margaret of Provence (Queen of France) drink miracle water from the St Thibault fountain and it made her fertile. She had 11 children after that.  blogDSCF9640blogDSCF9653
