La Maison du Diplo: forest, trails and climbing

Located in Le Vaudoué, this welcoming vacation home lets you experience it all. Gâtinais Français Natural Regional Park is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make the 13-minute drive to Château de Courances.

After you return to this 1507-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also table tennis, a DVD player, and a stereo for your enjoyment.

This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.

Families with little ones will appreciate the travel crib at this property. There are also books and games for the kids to enjoy, as well as toys to help inspire their day.
