A charming cocoon between Seine and forest

This is an outbuilding (approximately 35m²) at the rear of the main house, which we rent out when we are away during the summer. The house consists, on the first floor, of a bright living room with an open-plan kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs, there is a small bedroom area with a pull-out bed (80x200 or 160x200 cm) perfect for one or two children, and a bedroom with a double bed (160x200 cm) and French doors opening onto the greenery. Please note that access to the upper floor is via a spiral staircase which may be difficult for elderly people and young children. The cottage has been completely renovated and redecorated. The garden is fully walled and secure. Bed linen and towels are provided. On the first floor, there is a living area with a sofa bed.
