Getting away from the capital, something that Vincent Dewas yearned for when he unexpectedly came across the Domaine de Ronsard. Located just 155 km from Paris, this once-abandoned farmhouse nestled in the Perche regional natural park is ready to show itself off ! All thanks to the dedication of its new owner and his 2 years’ of hard work assisted by no less than 25 artisans ! Months of work supervised by the talkative owner, who recognised the raw charm of this farmhouse which dates from the late XIXth century. “A rare pearl”, now proudly presented as a venue and gîte and which boasts a decor where every single element has been carefully selected. A passion for antique fairs, flea markets and France’s famous “vide greniers” helped the owner of this newly-purchased property to meet the challenge of furnishing its 1,000 m² surface. The equivalent of 4 buildings to be decked out from top to toe with mostly second-hand items. Elements that only add to the authenticity of this residence which has been given a second lease of life thanks to an eclectic, beautifully-thought-out style. A location packed with country charm “that will continue to evolve over the seasons” where this Parisian welcomes guests to a former farmhouse, barn and adjoining stables, whatever the occasion – from marriages to birthdays or simply friends looking to escape for a weekend.” A unique concept of its kind (…) that sleeps 32 and can host 150 guests in the same room”, all at a stone’s throw from Bellême, one of the prettiest small towns in France. A real breath of fresh air for city dwellers in search of nature, wide open spaces and a complete change of scenery ! Bursting with Vincent’s ideas and overflowing enthusiasm, the Domaine de Ronsard will shortly be introducing various workshops – among other activities.
