Set on 185 acres of unspoiled French countryside, Abbaye Des Vaux-De-Cernay, a former 12th-century Cistercian Abbey, has been restored as a country house hotel.
Abbaye spans 145 bedrooms and suites, three restaurants, a kids club, spa, and a forthcoming accommodation, La Ferme des Vallées.
The vision of Paris Society founder and CEO Laurent de Gourcuff, with interiors by Cordelia de Castellane, the artistic director of Baby Dior and Dior Maison, Abbaye marries the spirit of a rural British estate with refined Gallic elegance.
Drawing inspiration from the estate’s rich history, the interiors are vibrant and warm, paired with delicate patterns and curated furniture and artwork.
“The Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life,” de Castellane says. “It is a place full of secrets, where the imagination is endless. It is a place steeped in history, a place that has survived the centuries, a place where life seems very sweet. This is what I wanted to convey through the decoration and artistic direction of the project.”
Slated to open this fall is La Ferme des Vallées, a woodland hideaway boasting 39 additional guestrooms, a trattoria restaurant, and Betty’s Bar (named after 19th-century salonnière Betty de Rothschild). Designed by Corinne Sachot, La Ferme will be defined by a farmhouse aesthetic surrounded by floral gardens and picturesque meadows.
