We have already told you about La Maison du Val, the gigantic rural space at the gates of Paris where you can stay in Yvelines, more precisely in the center of the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. It is also the ideal position to spend a day in the countryside and a gourmet brunch, in addition to all the activities that this 4-star hotel and its 4-hectare estate presents.
The Maison du Val was originally a hunting lodge of Louis XIV. It is located in a place steeped in history, with its grand rooms and landscaped garden, where you can spend a total Sunday.
Brunch is served every Sunday. Do not book as it is very popular. Count €80 per adult and €40 per child, all activities are included on site. La Maison du Val is also a place to eat buffet at lunchtime (€55 adults and €30 children), with a daily menu or buffet on Fridays and Saturdays (€70 adults and €30 children). Brunch and menus range from soft drinks and wines to cocktails and hot drinks.
For brunch, we offer a variety of cakes, crepes, pancakes, pies, and cookies. Let yourself be seduced by the variety of freshly baked breads, accompanied by yerba and jams. Hot and cold drinks are available for self-service. So we opted for squeezed orange juice and four coffees in a row (yes, we like coffee, but so what?).
Then it’s time to try the new and delicious starters. Enjoy fine oysters, prawns, snails or even white salmon accompanied by mayonnaise. Salads are left out: tuna and beef tartare, guacamole, tomato burrata, lentil salad and other seasonal compositions await us.
If scrambled eggs and bacon are still a must every Sunday, hot dishes replace them (the excuse to return, of course). During our visit, we were treated to comfortable gua baos, carrot puree, dauphinois gratin with sautéed mushrooms, and grilled shrimp.
If you have space, go to the cheese aisle. On the menu there is a fine variety of cured cheeses. We finish with desserts, which on this day have tiramisu, chocolate cake, flan, poached peaches and ice cream parlor. Well, for the ice cream, we went back for snack time to do the digestion a bit.
According to what we have been told, in the central lobby we have a bar at our disposal. You will be able to prepare your own cocktails using the ingredients and recipes provided. During the day, you can also enjoy cocktails and hot and hot dishes in another bar set up in an old chapel. bloodless drinks.

Then he heads to the game room. After a game of pool, darts, foosball, pinball or an arcade battle, you can sit back and watch a movie in the cinema room. Here too, the self-service refrigerators are full of unlimited bloodless drinks and it must be admitted that a fun sport can be very tiring.
Outside, in the gardens, you can practice sports such as Molky, badminton, volleyball, table tennis, petanque or trampoline for children. A giant chess set is also available, as well as rosaries for a walk in the woods, at your disposal. own risk. Let’s face it, it’s hard to get two other people up a hill, but running down is a pleasure.
At La Maison du Val there is no swimming pool as at the Château de Villiers-le-Mahieu, which belongs to the same group. Here the Nordic baths offer you complete relaxation. So don’t bring your suit and take a dip in one of the four available baths. Open all day, those hot baths will relax you to the maximum. Don’t prepare a cocktail or a glass of wine before taking the step, it is guaranteed paradise.
