La Source Tranquille is our oasis of calm just steps from the centre of the small Picardie town of Mouy. Whilst you can relax in the peace of our fully enclosed garden you are just minutes walk from the village centre with its bakers and other shops. The town in perfectly located being just 25 minutes drive from the tourist attractions of Beauvais, Chantilly and Senlis. Paris is just one hours drive away, or you can walk to the train station to be at Paris Gare du Nord within 50 minutes. The beaches and coastal ports of the Pas de Calais are within two hours.
The gite has two large double bedrooms with a shower room on the first floor. Downstairs is a large open-plan living area with comfy sofas, a flatscreen TV with BluRay player and music system. There is a dining table with lovely views of the garden and a fully-equipped kitchen. There is also a downstairs cloakroom and cleaning cupboard. There is wifi access throughout.
The gite has its own private area of the garden which is not overlooked. There is a covered eating area, sunbeds as well as plenty of space for games like badminton and boules. There is a trampoline for the younger guest (and the young at heart!).
Cycling is a special attraction of Picardie, which almost always features in the Tour de France early stages. Mouy is excellently placed for cycling, with many routes centred on the town. We offer facilities for storing bicycles and for maintaining them.
Picardie offers many attractions, being the land of cathedrals. There is much history on offer from cathedral towns like Beauvais, Senlis, Arras and Amiens to First and Second world war sites like Compiegne, the Somme and Arras. There are attractions for children all within an hour like Parc Asterix and Disneyland Paris, and of course Paris itself just 60km away.
