Charming house in the heart of the village near the forest

Welcome to the Saint-Mathurin Refuge! In the heart of Larchant, at the foot of the basilica and a few steps from the Fontainebleau forest and its climbing sites, this charming family house in stones of 80 m2, completely renovated, is ideal for up to 4 guests. Cozy living room, friendly dining room, large fully equipped kitchen opening onto a pleasant courtyard enclosed by walls. Upstairs: two large bedrooms with double beds (140 and 160 cm) and bathroom with toilet. The space The Refuge is not a "staged" house. It's a real holiday home, made of stone, designed for nature weekends and simple, no-frills stays. The tour: From the entrance, you discover a friendly living room, with its lounge area and dining room. Here, we meet, we talk, we redo the day over a coffee or a good dinner. In the continuity, the fully equipped kitchen overlooks a small courtyard enclosed by walls. A simple and pleasant space to enjoy the outdoors on sunny days. We have breakfast "at the counter" or on the pretty garden table, to enjoy the fresh air and the sun. Upstairs: • a nice landing room • two large bedrooms with double beds (140 cm and 160 cm) and storage • a bathroom with toilet and washing machine The whole place is functional, practical and warm. We don't come here for a sophisticated decor, but to feel good, rest, enjoy the surrounding nature, and talk about everything under the sun around a good bottle after a day of hiking or climbing. This house has long been the vacation home of the owners, who are themselves in love with Larchant and climbing. We find this spirit: a place designed to come back and rest after the effort, share, sleep deeply and leave the next day to explore the blocks or the trails.
