"Le domaine des grès", grande cabane isolée dans la forêt de Fontainbleau
The sandstone estate -Grand Shala in the forest of Fontainebleau — up to 10 people in cabins, ideal for large families - and climbing and yoga groups - (possibility of moderate evenings for up to 20 people with additional cost for logistics cleaning, mattresses to be installed)
The large cabin is built on the first floor at the top of the wooded hill, without barriers, and with a minimal impact on the environment. The Forest left intact is "its garden" in a large wooded massif of 25000 hectares crossed by long-distance hiking trails.-
It fits naturally into the landscape offering an unusual proximity to nature. The site, classified as a Gatinais natural park by the Department of Essonne, resembles the large forest of Fontainbleau, nestled in the height of a wood located in the Essonne (8 kl from Milly la Forêt), 1 hour drive from Paris. The isolated site is preserved from any construction.
Built in wood and stone by an artist in the 60s, restored in 2017, it offers modern comfort in the kitchen and bathroom with sauna, yoga-shala, Japanese toilet, while keeping the original spirit of a relaxed "cabin"-
