We stayed in a week in this small but cosy cottage with 3 children (11, 13 and 15). Although the house is situated on a busy road, it is very quiet, as the cottage is behind the main building where the landlord lives. It's like a UK mews house. It is small but adequately furnished with all you would need. In addition to e.g. bedding and kitchen linen, there were also towels provided, toilet paper, a few dishwasher cubes and even filters for the coffee machine (take your own coffee though!). The landlord and his wife are a lovely welcoming couple, who speak great English. They showed us around, had a welcome cake, brought new train tables etc. As it was raining upon arrival, the table tennis table was immediately put up for the kids. The house has a lovely garden, and in Summer time this would be ideal for BBQ. But on the other hand, you are near Paris, so you don't want to spend a day in the cottage...

The house is a mere 10 minutes walking from the train station Vaires Torcy, which has 2 trains each hour to Gare de l'Est. You can make a full study from all the train tarriffs, but arriving on Sunday, the Navigo weekly card for EUR36 and a bit provides free travel the entire week in all 5 zones, train, metro, bus. Or you can buy single tickets - whatever suits. Disneyland is 15 minutes away. We bought our tickets by the way online on the French site, filling in the French address of the cottage - and this saved us EUR20 per ticket. Print them out at home, and done... What else can we say? Small supermarket next to the train station you can find the nearest Carrefour / Lidl/ Aldi using the free Wifi provided in the house. We went a day to Reims by car visited Versailles drove through Paris by night (or take the train) - there is a lot to do. And then we all came home very happily to enjoy French cheese and a glass of wine! We can really recommend this lovely house and would gladly return.
