LA FERTE MILON, where the house is located, was the Jean Racine native Village.
In former times the house was a coaching house and later an artist’s home with huge window to collect light.
It was recently a family house used mainly at the week ends.
There are oaks beams and a fire place, however it is simple.
There are three levels, six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a salon and a kitchen, an office and "workshop"...
It has wifi, hifi, television, fridge-freezer, oven and microwave, dish washer, washing machine, etc.
The garden is very large, with flowers and shady trees.
THE HOUSE IS IDEAL FOR FAMILIES with children and adolescents: several bikes are available for adults and kids (with also a baby-seat), there is a large game room with toys and ping pong table, the playground is equipped with swings, there is outdoor to discover (small brook in the backyard)...
THE HOUSE IS IDEAL FOR TOURISM. La Ferte Milon is an historical village. The village is crossed by the "Canal de l'Ourcq". Don't miss to walk through the village around the lock, the mill and the island ; a path along the canal (which leads directly to Paris -104 km) offers a ideal place for walking or cycling. Don't miss the old village, its castle, church and Jean Racine small museum. Don't miss few kilometers farther the "Château de Pierrefonds", restored by Violet le Duc and the "Château de Compiègne" ( Napoleon III museum). Don't miss also the Rethondes Glade where the armistice of the World War One was signed. Don't miss the Retz forest and Compiegne forest, etc..
THE HOUSE LOCATION is right at the village end, it is convenient to take a walk in the nearby forest and in the surrounding countryside.
NEARBY, in Ciry-sur-Salsogne (30mn or 40km), there is a lac with beach and swimming in summer.
OVER ALL don't miss having simply rest in the garden...
