What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A former farmhouse in the Champagne countryside, the Domaine de Barive sits surrounded by expansive grounds which combine the untouched nature of a wooded park with more manicured French gardens.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set on wooded parkland and formal gardens in rural Sainte-Preuve, surrounded by open countryside.
The rooms
Classic rooms tuck under the timber eaves with antique furniture and streamlined modern bathrooms.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool rests beneath dark timber trusses and exposed stone, with tall windows looking onto the garden.
The spa
Steaming hot tubs sit on the outdoor wooden deck, and the duo treatment room keeps its exposed stone walls.
Bar
Salons-Bars
A repurposed travel trunk serves as a liquor cabinet in the pink salon, where armchairs invite evening drinks.
At the table
Les Épicuriens serves seasonal French dishes in a dining room with red bookcases looking out across the park.
