About this property

Whole cottage - 2 bedrooms

A little slice of paradise in the heart of the castle grounds.
The Collector’s Cottage is the former linen room of the Houssaye estate, now transformed into a charming and authentic holiday rental.
The cottage is located at the foot of the castle, within a 22-hectare private park featuring two ponds, woods, walking trails, gardens, and permaculture vegetable gardens. A true haven in a unique setting, it offers an idyllic location in the heart of unspoiled nature and an estate steeped in history.
The estate also houses a private cultural heritage museum, Le Monde de Jacques (guided tours of the collections are available year-round by reservation), as well as Les Jardins de la Houssaye, permaculture gardens open for guided tours from May through October by reservation.
