The 32 Best Family-Friendly Hotels in Europe | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set 45 minutes from Paris near Rambouillet, I found Le Barn to be a bucolic, Parisian-approved rural bolthole that feels like a tasteful farmhouse with renovated barns, cabin-like family rooms, and a watercolor mill amid grazing fields and Rambouillet Forest. The staff were remarkably affable—able to conjure practical solutions like early in-room suppers for tired children—and families enjoy pony rides, complimentary bike excursions, pottery, petanque, fishing, boating, and country breakfasts of crepes and orchard jams before gathering for home-baked cakes and hot chocolate by the lounge’s ceramic stove or on the wisteria terrace.
