La Ferme de Lily 2

Two charming holiday cottages, Les Fermes de Lily 1 & 2, welcome you in complete serenity in a bucolic setting, next to the Moulin de Buisseau, a 17th-century watermill located on the banks of the Essonne and steeped in history. The space Lily’s Farm 2 is a former barn with exposed beams and a fireplace, offering a spacious 80 m² open-plan living area with an open kitchen. Guest access Two former farm buildings renovated in the hamlet of Buisseau in Briarres-sur-Essonne (45390), 100 km south of Paris, 25 km from Fontainebleau, and 9 km from Malesherbes (terminus of RER line D). Other things to note Walks along the Essonne River to discover the historic mills lining the “granary of France” (the Beauce region). A stop along the Camino de Santiago (GR route). The nearest shops are in Puiseaux, 5 km away, where the Notre-Dame Church features a curious twisted spire turning an eighth of a turn — a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship (compagnonnage). To visit 10 km away: Yèvre-le-Châtel, listed among “The Most Beautiful Villages of France,” the only stronghold said to have resisted the English during the Hundred Years’ War. And just 3 km away, the Château d’Augerville, perfect for golf and spa enthusiasts.
