Fay Castel

This venerable residence was once home to the lords of Fay, then a hunting lodge for the princes of Conti. The gate and dovecote date back to the 16th century. It is located in the countryside near a small village in the Oise region, surrounded by four hectares of parkland with century-old trees. If you are coming by car:

• Via the A16 motorway (Beauvais, Amiens): take the Méru exit and follow signs for Gisors and Chaumont-en-Vexin until you reach Fay-les-Étangs. Go through the village, keep straight ahead and you will see the large stone gate on your left.
• Via the Porte Maillot and La Défense towards Cergy-Pontoise (A86 then A15) or the Porte de Clichy: take exit 10 Marines, in the center of Marines turn right towards Neuilly-en-Vexin, go through Neuilly-en-Vexin then Monneville. In Neuivillette, take the first street on the left, then continue straight after the STOP sign until you reach Fay-les-Étangs (the second gate on your right after the horse riding club).

If you are coming by train: From St Lazare station, take the train towards Gisors and get off at Chaumont-en-Vexin. A shuttle bus will pick you up.
