The perfect weekend less than two hours from Paris exists (and it’s here!).

What if, for a weekend, you were to leave Paris behind and experience a timeless interlude between nature, elegance and the good life? Less than two hours away, escape takes on a whole new dimension.

Leaving Paris on a Friday evening. Seeing the landscape gradually open up. To breathe differently. Here, everything invites you to slow down. The tree-lined alleys create a soothing backdrop. Silence gently settles in. You soon forget the pace of the capital.

Set in several hectares of unspoilt countryside, the estate offers a rare setting. The gardens stretch as far as the eye can see. Light glides across the ancient facades. Time seems suspended. A weekend less than two hours from Paris takes on its full meaning here. We invite you to immerse yourself in the 5* Château d’Audrieu Relais & Châteaux.

A moment of well-being and letting go

Upon arrival, the room becomes a refuge. Materials are soft. The lines are elegant. Natural light envelops the space. Everything is designed for relaxation. The living room is organized around simple rituals. Swimming pool, meditation at the end of the day.

For complete relaxation: the Dream Machine, available on request, supports relaxation with gentle photostimulation which, depending on the program chosen, helps you fall asleep, wake up gradually or recuperate after a long journey. The 8 kg weighted blanket wraps the body in a comforting cocoon, providing a peaceful, regenerating night’s sleep. A deep night’s sleep = a soothed awakening. The body slows down. The mind is freed.

A few dips in the heated pool prolong this sensation. A massage relieves tension and Les rituels Sothys treatments extend this sensory journey. In the expert hands of our practitioners, the body relaxes, the mind regains serenity and the heart savors a moment of pure well-being. Every moment is an invitation to refocus. A true harmony of body and mind is restored.

An ideal getaway for a romantic weekend or a family getaway

It’s hard to imagine a more inspiring setting for a getaway for two. The gardens become an intimate strolling ground. Dinners stretch out gently. Glances are lost in the surrounding nature. The setting lends itself perfectly to a romantic weekend. Birthday, wedding proposal, surprise… everything takes on a special dimension here. Every moment becomes a memory.

But the address is not limited to duos. It also lends itself to reunions. With family or friends, the château becomes the ideal backdrop for a celebration. An anniversary. A special event. Or simply the pleasure of being together.

A taste for local produce and simple pleasures

At the table, the experience continues apace. Local products are given pride of place. The seasons dictate the rhythm. The plates tell the story of a territory. The cuisine is excellent, healthy, tasty and refined.

Lunch can also be transformed into a picnic under the trees. A tablecloth, a few delicacies and nature as a backdrop. Luxury becomes simple. And deeply enjoyable. There’s even a unique tree house option.

Experience life at a château for a weekend

What really stands out is the feeling of living in the place. You take your time, walking aimlessly, just observing nature. You just breathe. Château d’Audrieu, nestled in Normandy between Caen and Bayeux, embodies this rare escape. A confidential address where you can reconnect with what’s essential.
