Deep within the Rambouillet forest, nestled between paddocks, stables and roaming horses, sit two, large, renovated red barns which make up this rural eco-retreat.

Le Barn is all about relaxation and focus with Scandinavian spa, yoga, hiking and first-rate equestrian facilities. It is just an hour outside of Paris, making it the perfect destination for any urbanites seeking respite from the city. The acclaimed restaurant, La Serre, sources every ingredient from their own gardens or from producers local to the area.

The Details

What makes it Kobu

With an on-site osteopath and Ayurvedic Indian masseur, the wellness centre has spaces designed for quiet solitary moments, restoration and reflection. Yoga sessions and outdoor activities such as horse riding, cycling and walking are all centred around nurturing the body, mind and spirit.
The hotel has a strong ethos of permaculture. Take a look around the kitchen garden and how the kitchen grows, picks and serves fresh and tasty produce. They also have a clever waste-management system in place to treat, recycle and reuse waste and water. Their passion for the environment and surrounding ecosystem is infectious. It's easy to fall in love with nature here in the Rambouillet forest.
