The Experience

From the street you enter a courtyard, then up the stairs and onto a very lush lawn with the glorious building at the end. Through a shared entrance find the side-by-side apartments, almost identical in layout: the south-facing living areas have two enormous arched windows flooding the space with sunlight; there are many paintings and sculptures (most by the owner Patricia) and books; steep stairs take you to cosy mezzanine bedrooms with TVs and garden views.

Rustle up your own breakfasts in small kitchens with induction hob, microwave, fridge and kettle – you’re left tea, coffee, milk, sugar, etc. Eat lunch at your own table on the lawn or head to some very good restaurants a few minutes away. Fun for two couples to take both apartments and visit Versailles together.

You can easily get here without a car as regular trains run from Paris and take only 12 minutes from Montparnasse station. Feel part of French history here.

Reviews

An idyllic wisteria and rose-covered base for exploring Versailles. L'Orangerie is a charming building, restored by its vivacious owner Patricia, who could not be more delighted to share her knowledge of all the ins and outs of Versailles and the château itself with her guests. The château is barely 10 minutes away by foot.

Nicky, Sawday's Inspector

Two lovely self contained units at the far end of an elevated garden - well equipped and wonderfully peaceful. Location couldn’t be better: ten minute walk to railway station and palace; and very easy to find. Patricia is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable host - her tips for restaurants were spot on. Well worth spending a few days here - the town has a vibrant market and plenty of interesting shops....it’s all so grand!

Location

The neighbourhood

A grand avenue leads straight towards the gates of Versailles and there's no traffic noise as the Orangerie is set back from the road. There are some superb restaurants a short walk away, shopping at the local antique shops, the charming passages of the Place du Marche and the Saint-Louis quarter is fascinating to explore with the oldest buildings in town. The train station is five mins on foot.

Local points of interest from Patricia White-Palacio

  • Ideally located within walking distance from the Sun King’s Palace of Versaille's, l’Orangerie is set independently amongst a secretive garden.
  • l'Orangerie is an XVIII century unique greenhouse, restored and converted into two suites entirely independent from our home but we are always present to provide our guests with any request or enquiries they should have.
  • Each suite has at your disposal: tea, coffee, milk, sugar, a sound system, TV, wifi, etc.
  • L’Orangerie is located near train stations, shops, restaurant, Gil and Martine the "bar-restaurant" across the road will make you feel like a Versaillais!
  • Choose from several cinemas, an Olympic size pool, golf courses, an equestrian club The food market which is one of the most acclaimed in France by awarded chefs for its diversity and heritage.
  • Please have a look at www.thebutterflies.e-monsite.com - your holiday apartment in the centre of the beautiful city of Nice on the Cote D'azur!

Introducing

Patricia White-Palacio

Patricia had a long career with an airline at Orly airport and is a prize-winning sculptor and artist. She bought the Orangerie when it was in ruins and has now restored it, transforming it into the two duplex apartments. She is bright, vivacious, elegant and adores having guests. She's always here to meet and greet, along with her cat Cleopatra, and she speaks French, English, Spanish and Italian.
