CREVECOEUR, Les Quatres Vents

This site has a quiet atmosphere and is close to Disneyland Paris (15 mins) and to the city of Paris itself (40 mins). Although just off the main road, there is a spacious rural feel to the site.

The pleasant reception area is dominated by a wealth of flowering plants and the Georges family who own the site are always welcoming and helpful. A scattering of trees offer a very little shade. It is recommended for a maximum stay of three nights.
