Hotellerie Du Bas Breau

A charming 19th-century timbered, former hunting lodge on the edge of Fontainebleau forest, Hôtellerie du Bas-Bréau was a favourite haunt of Robert Louis Stevenson. Full of character it provides romantic rooms and suites, a tranquil garden, a delightful pool, and gourmet cuisine accompanied by fine wine.A succinctly timeless quality adds to the warm and romantic atmosphere here. Savour the forest air during the summer and take a light lunch by the pool surrounded by trees and colourful flower beds. Order a local speciality, Fontainebleau cheese, a mild, light and indulgently creamy treat.Walk into Barbizon and visit the inn (now a museum) and studios where the 19th-century painters Corot, Rousseau and Millet established the Barbizon school. Then, take the painter's trail through the forest with its huge rocks, ponds and constantly changing colours. Return for a meal in the restaurant to enjoy seasonal game sourced from the forest.Hôtellerie du Bas-Bréau is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
