Paris- the city of romance, art and unforgettable charm
From the cobbled streets of Montmartre to the glittering Eiffel Tower, it’s no wonder Paris holds a special place in everyone’s hearts. Whether you’re sipping coffee in a bustling cafe, or strolling along the Seine, it has a way of making you fall in love with it over and over again.
But as magical as Paris is, sometimes the vibrant energy and constant motion can leave you craving a break. A little space to step away from the hustle and bustle and gain a little peace and quiet. That’s where Halcyon Retreat Golf and Spa Resort comes in,- a countryside haven just a train ride away from Paris.
