Unique holiday experiences in the Eure

Just an hour from Paris, the Moulin de Connelles is discreetly nestled in a bend of the Seine. Far enough from the main roads to offer calm and seclusion, it remains easily accessible, with the motorway just a short drive away.

This unique place blends elegance, nature, and tranquility. The surrounding region is full of exceptional experiences: a striking climbing site with 97 routes and cliffs rising up to 35 meters, renowned golf courses, and prestigious riding stables.

The local heritage is equally rich and captivating. From private castles with exquisite gardens to historic manors and open-air museums, each visit offers a glimpse into a world of beauty and history: Château d’Acquigny, Château du Champ de Bataille, Manoir de Senneville, Château de Vascoeuil, and the Sculpture Garden at Château de Bois-Guilbert—each one a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

We have carefully selected remarkable places and passionate hosts, whose love for quality and authenticity is both evident and contagious.

Whatever you’re looking for, our team is here to help you craft an unforgettable stay at the Moulin de Connelles.

Are you a nature lover?

Like the Impressionists, let yourself be enchanted by the ever-changing light and inspiring landscapes of the region.

Drift along the Seine or the Eure in a rowboat, or hop on a bicycle to explore the majestic Lyons Forest and the many scenic trails winding through the peaceful countryside.

Take to the water on a picturesque Seine cruise — a gentle, poetic way to admire the riverbanks from a fresh perspective.

Stroll through the Sculpture Garden at Château de Bois-Guilbert, where art and nature come together in serene harmony.


Discover the Château d’Acquigny, with its remarkable kitchen garden and centuries-old trees.


And don’t miss the 40-hectare park of the Domaine du Champ de Bataille — a breathtaking restoration of a historic jewel, brought back to life under the vision of Jacques Garcia.

We also recommend a walk through the Arboretum of Lyons-la-Forêt or a peaceful stroll along the towpath in Poses — just a few among many charming, bucolic paths that invite daydreaming and discovery.
