HistorySince 1928, Cazaudehore father and son have accomplished the feat of
turning a simple Bar into an establishment where quality is the only true
description. In the heart of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye forest, La Forestiere
with its two acres of grounds gives the impression of a family country home
rather than traditional Hotel. Immediately you cross the sill, a calm
atmosphere of charming and elegant simplicity takes over. Everything around you
is solidly rooted in tradition. Philippe and Isabelle Cazaudehore have recently
refurbished the decor which is refined without being ostentatious, with a
stubble combination of objects, furniture and painting lovingly collected by
past generations. The whole establishment is entrancing: the Restaurant,
Reception Rooms, Dining Room, the Hotel's Bedrooms and even the corridors offer
a warm and relaxing welcome.
The Dining Rooms have been totally renovated to receive more light without
loosing their cozy warmth. Even in winter the nature is to be admired. As for
the marvellously comfortable Bedrooms, each is individually decorated and leaves
nothing to be desired in the way of facilities: TV, Direct Dial Phone, Mini Bar,
Strongbox. They are perfect example of the successful combination of charm and
modern comfort.
La Forestiere would indeed seem to be one of those rare and special places in
the immediate neighbourhood of Paris to enjoy quite, natural surrounding in the
heart of a region with rich cultural heritage. It is the ideal place to spend a
weekend, holiday stop over, seminary or family event. The Cazaudehore reputation
is well founded, with a truly professional approach which ensures their
customers return again and again over the generations, in a kind of family
tradition. Whatever the season, harmony prevails.The English Style garden is a
haven of relaxation and delight nestled in the surounding Forest. When the
weather is fine what a pleasure it is to leave the warm atmpshere of the Sitting
Rooms with their splendid fireplace for the garden., to sit beneath the acacia
trees and relax surounded by the sounds and scents of nature.
This pursuit of nature continues in the Restaurant, where accent is placed on
authenticity and natural products, in a well-balanced selection of products in
season, not forgetting a hint of cuisine from the Southwest where the
Cazaudehore family has its roots. The Chef Jacques Pactol also follows the
seasons rather than fashion with his menus, prepared with meticulous skill.
