Arrive with peace of mind.

No.

Flavigny and Fontenay share one bathroom outside the rooms, reserved exclusively for guests staying in these two rooms.

This bathroom includes:

• a shower,
• a washbasin,
• a toilet.

Bath towels are provided, several bath mats are available, and cleaning products are supplied should you wish to disinfect the facilities.

This arrangement is particularly suitable for families, friends or guests booking both rooms together. When the rooms are occupied by people who do not know each other, the facilities are generally shared with mutual consideration.

This also explains why these rooms are more affordable than our suites and superior rooms with private bathrooms.

This information appears on our website and on the main booking platforms. However, each platform presents accommodation differently, and we cannot always control how prominently the information is displayed. If you are unsure, please contact us directly: we would rather answer a question before you book than hear about a disappointment after you arrive.

Yes.

Le Logis des Jardins has a Nespresso machine.

Yes.

All our rooms have individually controlled air conditioning.

A remote control is provided. Please adjust only your preferred temperature and fan speed, without changing the other operating settings.

The air-conditioning units are set to cooling mode in summer and heating mode in winter.

The rooms also have radiators with electronic thermostatic valves that you can adjust to suit your needs.

Yes. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and shared spaces. Connection details are provided on arrival.

Every room is equipped with an Apple TV.

The Molotov app is included, giving access to the main French television channels live and on catch-up.

Please remember to sign out before you leave.

Pets may be welcomed with our prior agreement in the Logis des Jardins and on the first floor of the house during exclusive hire.

This possibility is available only for direct bookings, not bookings made through a third-party booking platform. You must contact us before booking.

Pets are not permitted on the second floor, where the four guest rooms are located.

These rules concern pets; guide and assistance dogs remain covered by the legal provisions that apply to them.

No. Four rooms are on the second floor, reached by the tower staircase. Le Logis des Jardins is reached by a wooden staircase and has low doorways. If you have limited mobility or are very tall, please contact us before booking.

Prices on booking platforms are always higher than our direct-booking prices.

The reason is simple: platforms charge substantial commission on every booking. To keep our business financially sustainable, we pass these charges on through the prices displayed on those websites.

In practice, booking through a platform means you also pay for the intermediary.

By booking directly with Le Prieuré de Buffon:

• you always get the best price;
• you get information directly from the source;
• you speak with the people who will welcome you;
• you avoid errors or inaccuracies that sometimes appear on certain platforms.

A simple call, email or message often brings a quicker, more accurate answer and a better price.

For the same services, booking directly is therefore always better value. We of course remain available on booking platforms for guests who prefer to use them, but their additional costs are included in the displayed price.

The “Book now” buttons open our Eviivo booking engine. Choose your dates to see availability, rates and the terms of your stay. For an event or a special request, please call us.

Our heated outdoor pool is generally open from June through September.

Depending on the weather, it may open earlier in spring or stay open later in autumn. These additional periods remain weather-dependent and are not a contractual commitment.

The pool is accessible 24 hours a day during its opening season.

We simply ask everyone to respect the peace of other guests and our neighbours, particularly in the evening and at night.

Please avoid noisy diving, shouting and loud games late in the day so that everyone can enjoy a peaceful stay.

No.

The pool is unsupervised and used at the users’ own responsibility.

A responsible adult must be present whenever a minor uses the pool.

A chest near the pool contains various items available free of charge:

• pool noodles,
• children’s games.

Please feel free to use them, then put them away afterwards so that everyone can enjoy them.

Le Prieuré de Buffon is first and foremost a family home where several animals live:

• 🦮 Mona, our calm, elderly Labrador.
• 🐕 Yuzu, our young Akita Inu, curious and playful.
• 🐈 Wallace, our young Ragdoll cat, very sociable.
• 🐔 Around ten hens living in a secure enclosure.

Our dogs and cat are used to visitors and are generally very sociable. The dogs may bark briefly when you arrive or when someone enters the property: this is simply how they alert us to someone’s presence, without aggression.

The hens live in an enclosure protected by an electric fence. Please do not enter it.

If you are allergic to animals, afraid of them or feel their presence could affect your stay, please contact us before booking. We can then give you clear information and check together whether our property meets your expectations.

Yes.

Le Prieuré de Buffon provides several recreational facilities for guests to use freely and without charge:
