Abbaye des Vaux De Cernay

The Paris Society brand is not strictly a hotel company — its portfolio is heavier on restaurants than on rooms — but nor are they amateurs at this business. The Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay is their first entry into the world of country-house hotels, and it’s a confident one. The raw material is a medieval abbey that was restored and expanded in the late 19th century by the Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild; today, after another round of careful attention, it’s been transformed once more, into a thoroughly impressive country escape.
