About this property
The Orangery apartment, Chateau de la Trousse
2 bedroom apartment (sleeps 5) in part of a converted Orangery on a Chateau Estate, 35 minutes from EuroDisney. Set amidst 40 acre private grounds, 35 minutes from EuroDisney, 40 minutes from Paris or CDG airport by car, or 50 minutes into Paris by direct train. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, sleeps 5.
The apartment has a ground floor open plan kitchen-diner, with patio doors onto the front terrace overlooking the picturesque Chateau de la Trousse, and back terrace onto the formal gardens towards the swimming pool. First floor has a double-bed and private shower and toilet. There are steep stairs to the upper floor, where there are three beds, with a private shower and toilet. The top bedroom can get hot in the summer and there are fans to help.
There are formal gardens and pond, woodland and orchard. 40 acres to explore. There is a shared outdoor tennis court and swimming pool. These are usually operational from late May-September each year. Please check with the owner for precise updates to avoid disappointment. The pool can be cold - so beware!
The Orangery is 5 minutes' drive into Lizy-sur-Ourq where there are trains (free parking) to Gare de l'Est, or sometimes better to go from nearby Trilport where the service is direct. Lazy has two supermarkets, bakers and universal car charger.
The Chateau is set in glorious countryside, close to the Champagne region and 35 minutes' drive from EuroDisney. Car needed, but currently no electric charging facilities at the Chateau. It is 40 minutes from Charles de Gaulle airport so occasionally we get planes overhead.
Equipped for self-catering holidays, but parties not allowed.
This is our holiday home and we'd love you to enjoy it too. This is an exclusive private Chateau estate – please respect the history of the place and the privacy of other owners and their guests. We love it and we’re sure you will too.

We stayed here for three nights as a family. The grounds and Chateau are beautiful! The kids loved the pool and the residence was neat and tidy. We stayed during a heat wave. The loft had a fan, however our room didn’t! We have never been so hot; so had terrible sleeps. Would suggest a fan for the second bedroom.

A lovely place to stay with lots of french charm
The apartment is in the Orangery of a French Chateau. It is nicely fitted out and comfortable, The grounds of the property are extensive and have a lot of charm. We had a great time and would stay again.
The property was as described and directions provided made it easy to find.
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this accommodation but the 5th time at the Chateau. We love how chilled you feel staying here. Until the next time!!
My wife and I along with our granddaughter (aged 3) had a wonderful 4 nights in the apartment. The grounds of the Chateau provided an idyllic location for relaxing after each day of activity. There are 2 supermarkets not far from the apartment for buying provisions but be aware they close at 1pm on a Sunday. The keypad entry at the main gate is located on the left of the left gate and is not obvious to see! Disneyland is easily reached by car and Paris by Train is easy too. Overall, Tom and Rachelle's apartment offers excellent value for an escape to this region of France.
The Chateau looks charming and stunning to look at but unfortunately that was as good as it got. The apartment needed a seriously good clean, dirty/stained cutlery. Dishes that needed wash. Bathrooms stained.While the other facilities are good it was completely let down by the lack of cleanliness.The advertised swing and seesaw were broken and the pool had so many insects kicking around it wasn’t pleasant to swim in. The patios outside the apartment was in serious need of weeding and therefore again not relaxing to sit in. Due to this we spent the vast majority of our time away which was not the original plan. Very disappointed unfortunately.

Major issues on arrival
On arrival we diligently followed access instructions, punched in code but door would not open. This was past midnight and the location was middle of nowhere without a soul in sight. We had 3 very tired children in tow. Phoned owner multiple times but no answer. Had no idea what to do - sleep in the car? Tried knocking on random doors no answer. Finally found a person in one of the other properties who was awake and luckily he helped us. He had the number of someone else involved in managing the property who luckily answered the phone at 1am and gave us different access instructions. The door we were meant to access had been bolted from inside. We entered a different door using key locked away in a different place with a different passcode. Later in the week I was accosted by same lady asking what I was doing on site - when I explained who I was she proceeded to blame the previous tenants for the issue as they had left the door bolted (surely someone had been in to clean in the interim, surely they should check that the next tenants can access?). This really annoyed me, a simple apology would have been more appropriate. The owner, when he texted me the next morning, did apologise but frankly a text apology is insufficient for the stress caused. For balance the owner answered all subsequent queries very quickly. The property is nice albeit a little cold and facilities are basic (no washing machine, dodgy hot water, old utensils). Site nice but someone stole our kids football.
Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gefallen. Ein wunderschönes Schloss in einem großen Park. Auch der Pool ist top. Das Apartment in der Orangerie ist sehr nett und liebevoll eingerichtet. Auch an Kücheneinrichtung und Geschirr fehlt es überhaupt nicht. Leider funktionierte das Internet überhaupt nicht, da die Kupferleitung schon vor Wochen beschädigt wurde. Mobilfunk ist auch so gut wie nicht gegeben, so dass wir uns damit abfinden mussten. Der Garten könnte etwas mehr gepflegt werden, das Unkraut wucherte schon sehr stark. Aber in allen ein sehr erholsamer Urlaub.
Diese schöne kleine Wohnung ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt um vom Bahnhof Trilport in 40 Minuten mit der Bahn nach Paris (Gare de l'Est) zu fahren. Danach kann man den schönen Gemeinschaftspool nutzen, der hinter dem Garten liegt. Oder aber einen schönen Spaziergang durch den wunderschönen Park machen.
Leider fanden wir es sehr dreckig im gesamten Objekt!
Vermieter reagiere auf Mängel - aber für den Preis erwarte ich sauberes Fußböden, Bäder, Geschirr, um nur einige Dinge zu nennen. Der Garten nach hinten war voll Unkraut u völlig ungepflegt. Lid null zum sitzen ein. Der Park u das Schloss sind sehr schön. Die Ruhe ist einzigartig. Leider können wir hier nicht die Punkte geben, die andere Familien geteilt haben. Wir sind mega enttäuscht !
Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und stilvoll eingerichtet. Sie hat einen tollen kleinen Garten, in dem man schön frühstücken kann. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und der Pool ist einfach toll! Die Umgebung ist sehr entspannend und ruhig, gut um zu relaxen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
... für unseren Aufenthalt in Frankreich bzw. für den Besuch in Paris und im Disneyland war diese Ferienwohnung perfekt. Alles war schnell und unkompliziert erreichbar und wir konnten uns in den Abendstunden sehr gut erholen. Wir können die Ferienwohnung nur weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank an Tom!
Très beau site. Appartement agréable et confortable.
Seul bémol
Difficile d'accès en arrivant le soir.
Les explications devraient être traduites en français également.
En cas de problème pas facile de joindre le propriétaire
Toms Ferienwohnung in der Orangerie war für fast zwei Wochen ein perfektes Zuhause für uns und Tom ein toller Gastgeber. Die Lage abseits des Stadttrubels von Paris, aber nicht zu weit weg ist perfekt: Man kommt sehr schnell mit dem Auto oder teils sogar Zug zu allen möglichen Sehenswürdigkeiten und ist schnell mitten in Paris (Zug zum Gare de l‘Est). Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und persönlich eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich zu Gast bei echten Menschen, nicht in einer unpersönlichen Ferienwohnung. Einrichtung, Küchenutensilien usw. sind sehr gut - man merkt eben dass die Wohnung geliebt wird. Schließlich ist der Schlosspark ein wunderbarer Ort, in dem auch im Herbst der tägliche Spaziergang Freude macht. Der Park ist sehr schön angelegt und die Bäume mit Herbstlaub herrlich. Wir kommen sehr gerne eines Tages wieder!
Sehr schöne Unterkunft, mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht und sehr liebevoll gestaltet! Paris in einer Stunde und mit dem Zug sehr gut zu erreichen. Schöner Pool, sehr ruhige Lage, wir fühlten uns in eine andere Zeit versetzt und haben es sehr genossen. Vielen Dank!!!
We had a lovely few nights. stay. The property is well equipped and a real home from home. Such a tranquil place whilst being close to the main train line into Paris. Thankyou Tom and Rachelle for allowing us to rent your super accommodation.
Het appartement is gezellig op het prachtige kasteel terrein. De bedden en het beddengoed zijn heerlijk. Het terrasje bij het huis was fijn. We hebben gebruik gemaakt van de tennisbaan. Het is heel makkelijk om de trein naar het centrum van Parijs te komen. We hebben een heerlijke midweek gehad en komen graag terug.
Château de la Trousse is a place to fall in love with if you’re looking for somewhere quite and restful in a stunning setting. Tom’s apartment has everything you need for a cosy winter break, from the comfortable beds and the wood-burning stove to the beautiful Denby crockery and brilliant range of good old DVDs!
Très bonne expérience très belle localisation le propriétaire a été très efficace et très réactif à Toutes mes demandes je recommande ce cottages merci beaucoup
Très bon séjour , cadre magnifique .
Gite de charme.
L'annonce devrait mentionner le manque de linge de toilette . Après un contact avec le propriétaire nous avons eu du linge mais avons du payer ce service. Donc la précision serait la bienvenue. Sinon séjour parfait
