About this villa rental
Tucked away in the peaceful town of Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, just beyond the edges of Paris, Chateau Pernelle stands like something from a storybook—its enchanting façade and graceful turrets giving just a hint of the splendour within. Built in 1895, this spacious château invites you into a world where history and comfort walk hand in hand.
Step through its grand entrance and find yourself beneath soaring ceilings, surrounded by ornate cornices, and sweeping staircases that echo with the elegance of a bygone age. Sunlight pours through vast, arched windows, dancing across velvet drapes and polished surfaces, breathing life into every generously sized room.
The château offers two opulent lounges for afternoon tea or fireside chats, and a splendid reception hall where light spills parquet floors, leading you to a fully equipped kitchen that’s as practical as it is charming. Upstairs, seven individually styled bedrooms—each with its own en-suite—provide peace and privacy, some with forest views, others with elegant balconies.
Hidden below, the basement reveals a haven of wellbeing: a serene indoor swimming pool shimmers in the soft light, while the sauna, gym, and massage room offer deep relaxation. Outside, the gardens wrap around the château like a green embrace, with terraces that invite you to linger. It’s more than a place to stay—it’s a place to breathe.

Location:
Nestled on the edge of the Montmorency forest, Chateau Pernelle enjoys a truly picturesque setting in the historic town of Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, just 20km north of Paris. This charming commune, once a favourite retreat for French artists and intellectuals, retains a sense of quiet sophistication with its leafy streets, elegant architecture, and welcoming local cafés. A short stroll from the château brings you to bakeries, artisan shops, and quaint restaurants serving traditional French fare.
Nature lovers can explore the vast forest trails just moments from the gates—perfect for walking, cycling, or simply soaking up the peaceful woodland atmosphere. The area is steeped in history, from the centuries-old Église Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles to the elegant manor houses that line the town. For a dose of culture, nearby Enghien-les-Bains offers a lakeside casino, thermal spa, and vibrant theatre scene, while the local markets and antique shops provide endless browsing opportunities. It's a place where the charm of village life meets the richness of French heritage.
