In summary

Just one hour from Paris, the château of Fleury-en-Bière offers flats that are as unusual as they are historic. At the entrance of the castle, the Villa Orneline is spread over several levels and constitutes a sort of small balcony on the history of the castle. In the ramparts, a former stable and the north guard tower have been converted into intimate and spacious suites. These generously proportioned flats will appeal to lovers of architecture as well as to city dwellers wishing to retreat to the countryside the time of a stay. Located in the square courtyard facing the imposing castle, the Suites de Florine, comprising the Vigie, the Tour and the Ecurie, have been entirely restored to offer you a stay "just like home" in the heart of history.

Indoors & Outdoors​ 

L'Ecurie :
Cosy and refined, this suite will ensure a quiet and relaxing weekend for lovers. Opening directly onto the garden, it promises you a break with character, in the green. Its sandy and ochre tones blend perfectly with the light and give it a particularly pleasant atmosphere. Its bricks, stones and the geometric perfection of its cross vaults make the place original. Because of its past as a stable, it was decided to recreate an equestrian atmosphere : a stable stall has been reconstructed on the original model in order to structure the space and create a warm atmosphere.
You will appreciate the direct access to the garden which will offer you the possibility to improvise a lunch or an aperitif in the sunset as soon as the fine weather arrives.

La Tour :
The North Tower is one of the pillars of the estate's enclosure, forming an angle between the castle's outbuildings and its ramparts. Offering an unobstructed view of both the main courtyard and the surrounding countryside, this tower was once a strategic place to observe without being seen. 
With its colourful decoration, it has an authentic character that blends perfectly with the modern facilities. The old architecture, the warm parquet floor and the beams on the ceiling will take you back in time and make you feel like a castle for a while. If you are passionate about architecture, you will be enchanted by the exposed stones and the French ceiling. Everything here is spacious, from the height of the ceilings to the colossal proportions of the fireplace and the size of the windows. As with the Ecurie, the decoration of the Tour evokes the elegance of horse racing and transports you back through the centuries. 

La Vigie :
It is located on the second and top floor of the North Tower, overlooking both the main courtyard and the surrounding nature. The atmosphere in this light-filled flat is soft and peaceful. Modern comfort is combined with raw materials such as lime and the wood of the screen created to precisely delimit the volumes of the room. You also have access to an atypical bathroom : behind an alcove decorated with Louis XIII mouldings, the bathtub is hidden and will offer you moments of relaxation in complete privacy.
You will immediately be charmed by the tranquillity of the place and the private access to the garden located on the ground floor.

Location

On the wooded road to Fontainebleau, in the heart of a thousand-year-old forest, stands the majestic red stone castle of Fleury-en-Bière. This imposing building with its large paved courtyard is embellished by a park and a large canal nearly 800 metres long, inspired by the Venetian style, symbolising the power of the former master of the place.
