In the heart of the Chevreuse Valley, Maison de Mad et Mat welcomes you to a fully renovated historic complex comprising three holiday cottages, located near the owners’ home. Located in Senlisse, in a stunning natural setting, the property offers a true haven of peace for stays with family or friends, nature vacations, or business trips.

The holiday cottages feature high-quality amenities and open onto a magnificent 2-hectare wooded park where calm and serenity reign. The shared outdoor areas invite you to relax with lounge chairs, a barbecue, a ping-pong table, and pétanque balls available to borrow—perfect for enjoying time together.

One of the estate’s main attractions is its 1,500 m² private pond, reserved for recreational fishing enthusiasts. Here, you can fish for carp using “no-kill” practices in a particularly pleasant natural setting. The pond is not fenced off, so extra caution is required around kids.

From the property, direct access leads to the Forest and walking trails. Hiking, biking, and nature enthusiasts will particularly enjoy the Sentier des Maréchaux, a former quarry that has been redeveloped into a pleasant nature trail in the heart of the Chevreuse Valley.
