Welcome
A house where you take your time
In a charming village of the French Vexin, on the edge of Normandy, Le Puits d'Angle welcomes you to a fully restored farmhouse decorated in a style that blends rustic simplicity with refinement: half-timbering, weathered brick, old beams and terracotta floors, softened by warm fabrics and careful decoration.
Every room has its own entrance, a private bathroom, a separate toilet and a firm yet soft bed for sweet nights. With its large walled garden, heated indoor pool, hammam and fireside library, you will find here all the charm and peace you need to unwind — far from the noise, and yet so close to Paris.
“The calm and beauty of the place. A haven of peace.”
What makes the difference
Heated indoor pool
For guests only and open all year, with an adjoining hammam: the luxury of a 28 °C swim on a January morning.
5 characterful rooms
160 cm bed, private bathroom, separate toilet, fibre Wi-Fi and TV. Each has its apple name and its own personality.
A landscaped garden
2,600 m² behind old walls, planted in the 1960s by an architect-botanist: century-old magnolia, topiary, tall trees and loungers.
Breakfast & dinner
Fresh-squeezed orange juice, home-made yoghurts, rice pudding and jams at breakfast; in the evening, on request, the dinner Florence cooks from the market.
Ideally located
One hour from Paris and 30 minutes from Beauvais airport; two 18-hole golf courses 6 km away; Gerberoy, Giverny, Gisors and Chantilly within easy reach.
A recommended house
Gîtes de France 4 épis, 9.1/10 on Booking.com, 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor. And a welcome guests describe as “attentive to every detail”.
The rooms
Five rooms named after apples
A nod to neighbouring Normandy: each room is named after an apple variety — Judeline, Reinette, Royal Gala, Pink Lady and Chanteclerc. Three are in the converted barn, two in the main house. All have their own decor, private entrance and bathroom.
Wellbeing
Pool, hammam, library
Under a timber roof, the indoor pool is heated all year round and reserved for guests; the adjoining hammam prolongs the relaxation. Then a book by the fire, in the library with its floor-to-ceiling shelves.
Dining
Good food included
Breakfast, included, is served in the library by the fire or in the garden under the magnolia: fresh-squeezed orange juice, home-made brioche and yoghurt cake, jams, yoghurts and rice pudding all made in-house. In the evening, on reservation, Florence cooks the table d'hôtes from the market and David chooses the wine.
€39 per person, three courses with wine — please book the day before.
Around us

Villages and churches of the French Vexin, two 18-hole golf courses, Gerberoy — one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France —, Gisors castle, Giverny and Monet's gardens, Auvers-sur-Oise, Lyons-la-Forêt… and Paris one hour away.
Your hosts
Florence & David
For Florence, taking over Le Puits d'Angle meant coming home to her native Picardy. After renovating, Florence and David now welcome you with pleasure and do their best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible: a tip for a walk, a restaurant booking, an early breakfast before a morning departure — you only have to ask.
Guests speak of a “warm” welcome, of hosts who are “attentive without being intrusive” and “full of good advice”. We speak French and English, and we love sharing our addresses: Gisors market, the roses of Gerberoy, the back road to Giverny. Naska, the house dog, will welcome you too — with suitable discretion.
Florence & David
A house for…
A getaway for two
The silence of the village, a bathtub under the eaves, a candlelit dinner in the library: couples rate the location 9.6/10 on Booking.com.
A golf weekend
Golf de Rebetz and Chaumont-en-Vexin Country Club under 10 minutes away; early breakfast, dinner on your return, a pool and hammam to recover in.
Families
Extra bed and cot, a big garden to run in, table tennis, the pool under parents' supervision, and Gerberoy or Giverny for the Sunday outing.
Business stays
Ground-floor room with desk, Wi-Fi in the rooms and the library, closed parking, flexible arrival time, breakfast at the time you choose, business rate of €90 a night midweek. Chaumont-en-Vexin 10 minutes, Beauvais and Cergy 30 minutes away.
Tribes and celebrations
Five rooms, thirteen beds, and the barn for dining among yourselves: the whole house for a family reunion, a birthday or the guests of a wedding in the Vexin.
Through the seasons
Summer
Lunch on the grass, naps in the shade of tall trees, Gerberoy's roses in June, cycling on the plateau. The indoor pool when a storm passes.
Autumn
Golden light on the half-timbering, Gisors market, the forests of Lyons and Thelle. The fire is lit again in the library.
Winter
A warm swim at 28 °C under the beams, the hammam, a book by the fire, dinner at the table d'hôtes… and Paris an hour away for the Christmas windows.
