Chez Nous Campagne
Chez
Cécile Schmitt
Chez Nous Campagne is much more than just a place. It's where the Perche way of life is invented. Between a flea market, tea room, and cozy apartment, Cécile has created a refuge that is both vintage and contemporary in a former priory. On the edge of the forest, it's a haven where the countryside can be dreamed, lived, and explored.
It is a true lifestyle hub, what we would have called a concept store a few years ago (back in 2010!), created by Cécile in the heart of the Perche region. Next to her antique shop and above her tea room (housed in what was once a painter's studio), in this former priory on the edge of the forest (La Trappe), you will discover a cozy apartment that is both vintage and very contemporary. The woodwork is old and sometimes whitewashed, the stones and beams often exposed, the cushions and lighting perfectly chosen. Chez Nous Campagne offers a totally fantastical yet very real green lifestyle! A lifestyle you can even take with you, since there’s also an online shop.
3 good reasons to go
- because Cécile Schmitt was something of a pioneer in this field and has managed to stay one step ahead of the game
- because you'll be staying on the edge of a magnificent forest, with a few ponds where you can swim if you're brave enough
- because it's just a stone's throw from Mortagne, the epicenter of chic Perche.
From €140 for 2 people and €260 for 5 to 7 guests
