Once the home of opera composer Léo Delibes, now a luxury maison d’hôtes B&B, Villa du Chatelet between the Compiègne forest and the Laigue forest in Northern France is the ultimate romantic hideaway for twosomes in need of some quality time together. Blissfully far removed from the pressures and pace of daily life, soak up the serenely romantic ambiance of chandeliers, fine porcelain, period furniture and forest views from the balcony, and make the most of the rare opportunity to enjoy a stroll in the vast grounds or maybe a massage.

Alix has many good restaurant addresses to tell you about. "Les Ferlempins" in Compiègne is in her "top 3", with its menu made exclusively of fresh local products. Perfect for an intimate meal for two. Sure you'll enjoy it!

During your romantic weekend break at Villa du Châtelet, be sure to venture out into the Northern France countryside for picture-postcard landscapes of lakes, chapels and châteaux. And do you know (shhh!) the best to get there? Alix will give you keys to enter the forest via a gate, and just like a secret door, it’s like stepping into a private world just for two. The romantic ‘Chapelle des Trois Chenes’ (Chapel of the Three Oaks) is only a few minutes’ walk away on foot as is the famous forest clearing where the WW1 armistice was signed. Further afield, get snap happy in the pretty village of Saint-Jean-aux-Bois, stroll the iconic Allée des Beaux Monts walkway with its magnificent views towards Château de Compiègnes or visit the magical Château de Pierrefonds, all within easy reach.

Michelin starred dining anyone?

I highly recommend L'Auberge à la bonne idée restaurant in Saint Jean aux Bois, which is only about a 10 minute drive from your accommodation. It’s a gourmet restaurant, awarded one Michelin Star. The setting is magical with a gorgeous garden, an open fire in the colder weather.... not to mention the actual building a gorgeous all covered in ivy. The village of Saint Jean aux Bois is charming a is worth a stroll, even if it’s just to see the 800 year old oak tree! We are after all in the middle of a 14,000 hectare forest!!!

Bike riding in Compiègne Forest

What better way is there to get back to nature than pedalling through the heart of a forest? You’ll be staying in Saint-Jean-aux-Bois, situated in the heart of the biggest forest in Picardy: The national forest of Compiègne.

What I really love is there are a number of ways of discovering this natural paradise: walking, riding a bike, on horseback… depending on how fit you are: strolling hand in hand or jogging; and also on how you feel: observing nature, fauna and flora or quite simply enjoying the fresh country air and the peaceful surroundings.

A friend told me that one day when he was riding through the forest early in the morning to experience the freshness of the mysterious mist, he came across a rather surprising sight! There he was, right in the middle of the forest when suddenly a stag ambled across the path. Can you imagine what he thought? Most certainly an unbelievable experience…
