1- Spend a Sunday at the Rambouillet Racecourse

Surrounded by the forest, the Hippodrome de la Villeneuve in Rambouillet is a privileged space of 40 hectares of greenery where it is pleasant to walk and come and watch the horse racing spectacle with family or friends and eat.

2- Enjoy a brunch in an old abbey

The Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay invites you to come to the monks' refectory for breakfast or brunch.
The majesty of the place, softened by the warmth of the woodwork, invites the exchange of magic formulas and other accomplices around sumptuous breakfasts and brunches gargantuan.

3- Attend a free-flight bird-of-prey show

More than 130 raptors of 30 different species live in the forest of eagles, in conditions conducive to their development.
The birds of prey show is an unmissable event in the Rambouillet area: with family or friends, you can watch an aerial ballet of these giants of the air presenting their formidable natural abilities.

4- Visit the National Football Center

5- Enjoy a tea time at the Jardin sucré

8 – Listen to the bellowing of the deer in the Rambouillet forest

When autumn comes, the Rambouillet National Forest is sometimes stormed by tourists and the most passionate. The reason is simple: it's mating season for deer. The males compete for the position of “dominant” and we hear, deep in the forest, an indescribable cry, between a mooing cow and a braying donkey. This is the Roar of the Deer.

A memorable evening in a cabaret in the heart of the Yvelines countryside.
Several shows and menus are offered to you all year round.

10- An afternoon of swimming in the heart of the forest
