An idyllic setting 2 hours from Paris
A charming guest house
Just two hours from Paris via the A6, or the national highway for those who prefer to take their time discovering the many châteaux and vineyards that line the road as far as Puisaye Forterre (Colette country), the lucky traveller will arrive at Taingy. After rounding the church of Saint Martin (15th-century flamboyant Gothic portal), you'll take a stony path nicely encircled by a tunnel of greenery that leads to the Manoir de la Croix de Saint Louis where your hosts will be delighted to welcome you.
Our guest house, built in 1830 on the site of a former convent (Couvent de la Croix Saint Louis), bears the imprint of a French bourgeois family who, since the reign of Charles X, have played a key role in local life. Writers, artists and politicians have often stayed here.

Something for everyone
The Manoir is located in the heart of a valley in the village of Taingy (commune of Hauts de Forterre 89560), surrounded by valleys cultivated with vines and wheat. Dirt paths cross here and there, allowing walkers to stroll and admire the landscape. It's not uncommon to spot deer or other animals coming out of the nearby forest to find food in the fields.
There are many cultural sites to discover in the vicinity of the Manoir, including : The castle Medieval Guédelon built by master craftsmen using the machinery and tools of the Middle Ages. The house of Colette where she spent her childhood, as well as the museum dedicated to her. The castle of Saint Fargeau princely residence of the Grande Mademoiselle first cousin of Louis XIV. The village of Toucy with its famous Market (ranked sixth in France). The vineyards of Chablis, d'Irancyof Coulanges la Vineuse and Saint Bris are just a stone's throw from the Manoir.
For horse lovers, the Pesteau equestrian farm is 5 KM from the Manoir. For toddlers, the nearby Moulin de Vanneau farm is an ideal stop-off point.
