Ideal for a couple, the La Glycine vacation rental is a large, bright studio that blends authentic features (exposed beams and stone walls) with contemporary design. It is located on the garden level of a charming historic house (staircase with a handrail and 11 steps). It faces north onto a courtyard bordered by a cliff featuring a cave-dwelling cellar, and south onto a front porch that opens onto a terrace.
The furnishings are modern and colorful.
You’ll enjoy all the comforts: a kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, and all the small appliances you need.
The cottage features a 1.60-meter-wide bed, a sofa, and Wi-Fi.
In the bathroom, you’ll find a walk-in shower, a washing machine, and a dryer. The toilet is separate. All linens are provided: sheets, bath towels, dish towels, etc. All utilities are included.
The cottage is “just a stone’s throw from the castle” and a 10mm walk from the town center of Auvers-sur-Oise, a small village that has attracted many Impressionist and contemporary painters.
All of them—and Vincent van Gogh in particular—were captivated by this “very special” light. Auvers is “profoundly beautiful,” Vincent wrote. The village owes its international fame to him.
As you stroll around, you can visit:
* the church painted by Vincent van Gogh in June 1890, and its listed staircase
* the cemetery, where the twin graves of Vincent and his brother Theo are forever united beneath the ivy
* the castle located… just a stone’s throw from your home!
* Daubigny’s home and studio
* the Ravoux Inn, where Vincent spent his final days
* the home of Dr. Gachet, Vincent van Gogh’s friend and physician
* the Absinthe Museum
* the Ravoux Inn, where Vincent spent his final days
* the home of Dr. Gachet, Vincent’s friend and physician
Finally, a stroll along the banks of the Oise will take you to the Botin, a replica of Daubigny’s boat—he tirelessly sought to capture the effects of water. You can embark on a short cruise, admire the magic of the lights, and let yourself be carried away by the beauty of the landscapes (registration required).
Starting from the cottage, you have immediate access to the Vexin’s cycling and hiking trails. Rue Victor Hugo, where the cottage is located, has become a section of the “Paris-London” Avenue Verte.
And, if you venture a little further afield, be sure to visit the sites in the Île-de-France region (Royaumont Abbey, Ecouen Castle, etc.)... and Paris is just 35 km away, easily accessible by train!!
