A multifaceted retreat in the heart of the Haute Chevreuse valley

Nestled within the serene expanse of a natural reserve in the Haute Chevreuse Valley, the Barn stands as a unique and versatile haven — a place where life unfolds in a tapestry of experiences.
Resting gracefully on the fertile lands of La Cense, the Barn transcends the conventional to be not only a restaurant, but also a permaculture-inspired vegetable garden, a sanctuary of well-being, and an inviting hotel.
All these elements are rooted in the visionary passion of two individuals enamored with nature and the art of horseback riding.

A brown horse with a white star-shaped marking on its forehead standing in a grassy field with trees and a fence in the background.

The tranquility of the natural park serves as a backdrop to a distinctive blend of hospitality, culinary delights, sustainable living, and equestrian excellence. Whether you seek a gastronomic adventure, a rejuvenating escape, or an exploration of the equestrian arts, the Barn invites you to savor the richness of each moment in a setting that seamlessly combines rustic elegance with modern comfort.

As you step into this multifaceted retreat, let the spirit of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse envelop you, and allow the Barn to become your sanctuary — an oasis where the synergy of nature, passion, and hospitality creates an unforgettable experience. Join us on a journey where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary, and where the beauty of the countryside meets the sophistication of a unique destination.
