The charm begins with the boxwood-lined driveway leading to the stone bridge and Directoire facade. Inside, enfilade lounges, antique parquet floors, floral wallpaper and contemporary objets d'art create a poetic dialogue between past and present. The 39 rooms, divided between the main house, the Maison du Lac and the Maison du Verger, all open onto gardens designed by Jacques Wirtz, featuring more than 250 varieties of roses, a permaculture vegetable garden and century-old trees. The Les Chemins gourmet restaurant, led by chef Géraud Dupuis, celebrates the seasons, fresh herbs and produce from the garden, while Martin, the chic country bistro, offers generous cuisine around the wood-fired oven and brazier evenings in the orchard. With the country's first Susanne Kaufmann-labeled spa, Primard also boasts a 450 m² holistic wellness area, wooden treatment cabins, outdoor pool, sauna, hammam and two Jacuzzis. The perfect romantic getaway just an hour from Paris, where you'll never look back at the Eure.
