If you're looking for peace and quiet and a lush, green setting just 15 minutes from Paris, you're sure to love Corot's Ponds. In Ville-d’Avray, the hotel welcomes you for an enchanting getaway—whether it’s a long weekend or a few days’ vacation near the capital.
There are 43 uniquely decorated rooms waiting for you at Les Etangs de Corot: we love the elegance of the two suites and their very refined decor. The bedroom and living room overlook the ponds, creating a stay that’s both idyllic and romantic. We love the wallpaper with its varied patterns and soft hues; many of the pieces of furniture were sourced from antique shops and truly bring the place to life.
The hotel not only features a Michelin-starred restaurant, Corot, but also a place with more of a bistro atmosphere, the Artists' Café. As soon as the warm weather arrives, The Beach Huts welcome guests with a terrace built on stilts that is designated a historic monument: the perfect way to take a step back in time and experience a few moments from the era of the Impressionists.
Of course, people also come to the Etangs de Corot for the Caudalie Spa : A Vinotherapy Spa set in lush, green surroundings—the perfect place to unwind. You’re sure to love the hammam, the hot tub, and the signature treatments. Are you an art lover? Why not take a painting class overlooking the ponds? For the more active guests, bike rides and walks in the forest are on the agenda.
In a nutshell
- The countryside near Paris.
- A Caudalie Spa to help you recharge.
- There are two restaurants to choose from, including one with a Michelin star.
Dining: Le Corot
The restaurant Corot earned its first star in 2014. We love the chef’s sophisticated cuisine as well as the setting: the refined, intimate decor blends beautifully with the hotel’s lush green surroundings. Here, you can enjoy lunch and dinner while savoring traditional dishes enhanced with creativity and true culinary indulgence. The «Au fil des saisons» menu lets you enjoy the seasonal appetizer, main course, and dessert.
With the kids
Children are welcome, even though the hotel is primarily designed for a relaxing romantic getaway.
You can plan bike rides as well as day trips: the Palace of Versailles is just 10 minutes from the hotel.
