Presentation Practical information
Take height to better contemplate the seasons and the beauty of the Percheron landscapes.

Spring gently makes its appearance, and you think that happiness would be to see nature awakening. So head to the Perche Nature Park where Agnès will welcome you for a relaxing experience just 1h30 from Paris.

On the Grande Noë estate, a 'true family affair' for over 600 years, you can wander between castle life and rustic delights, reflecting the spirit of the former royal province of Perche that has preserved its aristocratic homes and green hills. 135 hectares, where the whole family works with a smile. Agnès takes care of 6 treehouses perched at varying heights and scattered among the organic farm lands and her sister Sophie's horses, while Jacques and Pascale, the parents, host guests in the three charming rooms located in the family castle.

Built in a magnificent beech tree at a height of 16 meters, the Paradiso cabin is a favorite for adventure lovers. To reach its terrace -16m, remember...- a semi-rigid ladder and a harness are required (max 2 people, from 12 years old). For lovers of beautiful light and idyllic sunsets, the Sunset is for you. But hush... from its terrace, deer are often spotted.
For small groups of friends, large families, or two couples with children, le Chêne Fou, a bicentennial tree, offers the magic of gathering everyone together on three levels between 8 and 14m with its two cabins and terrace to live perched (max 8 adults and 1 child). L'Echauguette in the castle park, recognizable by its turret reminiscent of a fortress, quickly becomes the backdrop for fantastic stories imagined by children (max 5 people).
Families will also love La Fermette for its proximity to the small animal enclosure: chickens, rabbits, goats, and Vicky the mini-shetland are waiting for you.

In the evening, dine under the stars and candlelight. Appetizer baskets and meal baskets are delivered at the foot of the pulley and consist solely of delicious local products. Guests agree, the baskets prepared by Agnès are 'excellent'!

Perhaps during the night, you'll hear the wood creaking, the wind in the leaves, or some nocturnal animals venturing around the cabin... but it’s the birdsong that will wake you after a magical night under a cozy duvet. The breakfast basket is hung on the carabiner. Just pull up the rope and enjoy croissants and fresh bread, fresh and organic farm fruit juice, honey, jam, and hot beverages in thermos flasks.

From here, time seems to slow down. How good it feels to be in the countryside; we promise to come back with the next change of season.

An idea? Treehouses and guest rooms in the castle are the perfect compromise for a countryside weekend with the family and grandparents.
Pétanque court, adventure course for children, mini-farm, and bikes freely available, everything is ready!
