What to do for New Year at Château Bouffémont

 

Even by the standards of French chateau properties, Château Bouffémont is an immensely desirable all-year-round destination. With its refined furnishings and spectacular manicured gardens, it is a truly warm and enchanting place for you and your family to stay.

 

However, there’s something extra special about the ambience and activities on offer at the resplendent venue at the turn of the year. It’s the season, after all, characterised by the sweet smell of the turkey cooking, the crackling sound of the fireplace and all of the pleasantries associated with the exchange of gifts between loved ones celebrating a very special time of year indeed.

 

But as luxurious as several winter days spent as ‘lord of the manor’ of the prestigious historic property may be, there’s much more for you to do as 2017 becomes 2018 at Château Bouffémont.

 

A truly memorable two-night festive break

Perfectly situated for both rural and urban activities, Château Bouffémont affords you a more event-packed way of spending your New Year than you may have ever imagined could be the case in the stunning, but tranquil rural surroundings of the Montmorency forest.

Book our dedicated two-night festive season break, and on arrival, you will be immediately blessed with all of the trappings of French chateau luxury, the first night marked by pre-dinner drinks and canapés, followed by a festive five-course dinner served with paired wine.

After this, you will have the time to relax with drinks by the fireplace in the charming Salon du Baron, before beginning to explore the wider chateau and its grounds to which you will be granted exclusive access, including a bar and games room.

 

More time spent outdoors than you may imagine

Even amid the adverse weather of the New Year period, your experience of the great outdoors as a guest of Château Bouffémont will not be restricted to gazing through the windows from your cosy accommodation, at the meticulously-kept French grounds that feel like something out of a fairytale.

That’s because much time is also allowed in your festive break package for winter activities in the wider locality, particularly on your second day, when – after a savoury brunch – you may partake in a leisurely stroll in the park, a cycling trip around the village or even a horseback riding session. Such a combination of the finest of fine cuisine and interesting open-air activities will help to make your New Year stay at Château Bouffémont as relaxing or as bracing as you desire.

We go to great efforts to ensure the child-friendliness and age-appropriateness of our outdoor activities. So whether you and your loved ones wish to go hiking, trekking or mountain biking around the two lakes of the Montmorency forest, or something much more sedate, such as boating or relaxing on France’s largest freshwater beach at L’Isle-Adam, you can be sure of creating magical new memories with every generation of your family.

Nor does the above even take into account the priority access to the Paris International Golf Club that all members of your family staying over at Château Bouffémont are also able to enjoy, and where a host of further activities is on offer, ranging from indoor swimming and all-year-round tennis to teeing off on the 18-hole course designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus.

The truth is that we have activities on offer in and around Château Bouffémont that will entice and interest all generations of your family, from arts and crafts workshops and cooking classes to perfume creation and table setting – so there’s no need for anyone to feel left out!

 

Alternatively, treat your relatives to the delights of the city  

On the subject of Paris, there will be many fine ways to welcome in 2018 in the City of Lights itself, as detailed by TripSavvy. Your closeness to one of the world’s most romantic and enchanting metropolises, a mere 30 kilometres away, is just one further benefit of making Château Bouffémont your base for a magical New Year stay in France.

One thing is for sure – while in our hospitality, you will never be lacking for exciting and intriguing things to see and do. Find out more today about our festive season package, which you can book for breaks leading up to – and including – 10th January 2018.
