Chateau De Garmeaux

Description

Just south of the river Oise sits the village of Ognon, where the pastoral charm of this Picardy chateau will win your heart. Work and play are equally at home in this serene, country-style home just 45 minutes outside of Paris.
Up to 12 guests can stay and appreciate the chateau's modern comforts, like the recently re-done en suite bathrooms and updated kitchen. Outside, there is a pretty stone terrace with tables, where you can dine al-fresco beside the neatly kept garden. Children will have plenty of playtime in the large garden, or on the trampoline and swing-set.

The location of this chateau leaves nothing to be desired; all within an hour's drive you'll find the historical commune of Senlis (6 km), the castles and Musee Conde at Chantilly (17 km), Paris (60 km), and the Palace of Versailles (75 km). But there's no need to travel far afield - local walks through the forests of Halatte, Compiegne and Ermenonville will also delight you and yours.
The village of Ognon has kept its authenticity since the first Lords of Ognon took up residence. In 1526, Francois 1st took hunting expeditions in the area, right in the heart of the "three forests" Halatte, Ermenonville and Chantilly.

The house is also designed to accommodate business seminars and equipped with a dedicated room with a large screen, and catering for meals.
Chateau de Garmeaux is only 20 minutes from Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport and 50 minutes from Paris-Beauvais-Tille Airport.
