Le Grand Potager is one of the outbuildings of the Château de Vérigny, which extends over a very large walled estate made up of gardens, orchards and meadows.
All spaces have been carefully renovated and are equipped to ensure the best comfort throughout the year. For a stay with family, friends or colleagues, in contact with nature in a quiet and preserved environment, let yourself be seduced by the Grand Potager.
The space
In this area, three houses totaling 8 bedrooms / 8 bathrooms (sleeps 16) await you around a large garden planted with fruit trees.
La Maison du Potager is an old house covered in ivy. Single-story, south-facing, it is composed of three rooms: a large 42 m2 living room equipped with a beautiful open kitchen. On both sides of the living room, two comfortable bedrooms overlooking the gardens each have a private bathroom with shower and toilet. The two bedrooms of the Potager have quality bedding that can be arranged in 2 separate beds or in a king size bed (180 x 200) format according to your wishes.
The Orangerie is a building originally built to house orange trees during the winter. Single-story, south-facing with very large windows, L'Orangerie is composed of two rooms opening onto the garden: a large 30 m2 living room equipped with an open kitchen and a bedroom with a bathroom with shower and toilet. The Orangerie bedroom has quality bedding that can be arranged in 2 separate beds or in a king size bed (180 x 200) format according to your wishes.
Le Verger is a large single-story house that has been completely renovated with an exceptional 84 m2 living room that can accommodate up to 24 people seated. A large kitchen, separate from the living room, is fully equipped. On both sides of the living room, three bedrooms each have a bathroom with shower and toilet. The fourth bedroom is accessible through the courtyard and also has a bathroom with shower and toilet. The bedding is new: 3 bedrooms equipped with king size beds (180 x 200) and 1 bedroom with 2 beds (90 x 200) that can be combined.
Finally, an independent bedroom located behind L'Orangerie – but without communication with it – has its own shower room and toilet. It is equipped with quality bedding in 2 separate beds or in king size bed format (180 x 200).
Le Grand Potager is perfectly suited for families with children: we can lend you a high chair, two folding cribs and a baby bath. To avoid you bringing sheets and towels, the beds will be made and linens will be provided (towels, tea towels).
Exteriors: Several spaces are at your disposal: A very large garden planted with fruit trees and roses common to the three houses awaits you. BBQs, tables and chairs for outdoor dining as well as deckchairs are at your disposal. A large greenhouse is also set up as a winter garden with garden furniture and a large table to enjoy the garden in the shelter or to observe the stars in the evening. Facing the Orchard, a large west-facing terrace is equipped with a fountain. There is plenty of space to meet, play Badminton, soccer or take long walks along the meadows and woods. Bicycles are also available (adult bikes and a child's bike) to follow the small country roads that can also be discovered on foot.
Although smoking is not allowed in the houses and greenhouse, the outdoor areas allow you to smoke comfortably.
Whatever your arrival time, independently or not, we can be there to welcome you. Count on our availability to advise you throughout your stay.
Internet: The Potager, L'Orangerie and the independent room have an internet connection with a Wi-Fi signal. The Orchard has a fiber internet connection (800 mbps) distributed in all rooms. Each room has a desk.
Seminar / Training / Reception: Le Grand Potager is suitable for seminars, training or receptions for less than 30 people. Please contact us for any project of this type involving a number of participants greater than the sleeping capacity of the Grand Potager (16 people).
Guest access
Access to the Grand Potager is from the house side of the Potager and Orangerie by a private entrance gate (see photo on the site) followed by a long private driveway lined with meadows. Parking (uncovered) for cars has been provided along the driveway. The Orchard House also has car access through a second gate that opens onto a large uncovered private parking lot.
It is possible to arrive in Chartres by train (1 hour from Paris) and use a taxi or regional bus to get to Vérigny. However, the village of Vérigny has no shops or restaurants and the first supermarket is 5 km from the house: it is highly recommended to have a vehicle.
Other things to note
Please note that the houses do not communicate with each other and all overlook the same garden. The houses, the greenhouse and the independent room are not facing each other and are between 30 meters and 60 meters apart.
We draw your attention to the fountain, bordered by a 40 cm high wall, which can present a risk to young children who are left unattended.
