Paris, then the countryside
No long drive, no crowded high-speed train: the Oise is right on Paris's doorstep, and your weekend begins the moment you arrive. Park in the private car park, walk across the garden, and the place is yours until Sunday. It is an easy way to add a few quiet days in the French countryside to a trip to Paris.
Monchy-Humières is a village of red-brick Picardy houses, with its own château and golf course. The studio is in a restored 18th-century outbuilding at the end of a large garden.
