Activities and experiences around Le Paddock
Activities in the region
As in many of the surrounding villages, in the 19th and 20th centuries a large proportion of the inhabitants made their living from mother-of-pearl and tablet-making.
This involved the manufacture of a variety of objects in mother-of-pearl, wood, horn, ivory, tortoiseshell and bone. One of the living witnesses to this craft is the Musée de la Nacre et de la Tabletterie in Méru. Products include toothbrushes, mother-of-pearl buttons, shoehorns and fans.
Corbeil-Cerf Castle Park
Dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, this château was originally a simple hunting lodge.
Owned by the de Lubersac family from 1769 to 2020, the château is best known for its gardens. It was in the 19th century that the Marquis de Lubersac created continuity between buildings and nature. To achieve this, he used giant arcades of arched trees. In 1960, Belgian landscape architect René Pechère added four gardens: a rose garden and three "secret gardens".
Château de Corbeil-Cerf is privately owned
Fosseuse castle
Its most famous occupant, Françoise de Montmorency, daughter of the previous owner, was the mistress of Henri de Navarre. The latter was better known as Henri IV, and Françoise was known as "la Belle Fosseuse".
If you'd like to visit, the château is privately owned. It even has a bed & breakfast. However, you can visit its medieval garden and romantic park on reservation. It dates back to the 19th century and will dazzle you with its majestic and rare trees

Hénonville castle
The corner towers are the oldest parts, dating from the 16th century. They were only integrated into the central building in the 18th century. The two independent pavilions with their Mansard roofs were built at the same time. In 1902, Henri Bamberger, founder of the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, acquired the property. After the defeat of 1940, his son Raymond, who owned the estate, was arrested and imprisoned in Beauvais. It was then that the Nazis requisitioned the château. After the Liberation, an American garrison moved in. Finally, in 1946, an association for the protection of children who had survived the Holocaust bought the château. Since 1975, it has been the property of the commune. It is now used for events, seminars and weddings.
the Communauté de Communes des Sablons has restored the Château d'Hénonville as part of its Opération Patrimoine program.

Gerberoy (most beautiful village in France)
In spring and summer, flowers abound, with climbing roses adorning the facades of houses, and Gerberoy is rightly nicknamed "the town of roses".
Wisteria and hydrangeas, probably over a hundred years old, and 17th- and 18th-century houses made of wood and cob or brick and flint, lend an undeniable charm and authenticity to this magnificent village, which has been classified as one of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" since 1982.

Museum of Mother-of-Pearl and Tableware
It was in the 16th century that tabletterie took root in and around Méru. In winter, during the off-season, when work in the fields came to a standstill, peasants would carry out small-scale tabletage projects to provide them with a subsistence income.
Later, in the 19th century, the activity developed and became industrialized. Indeed, it was at this time that the substantial production of mother-of-pearl objects, particularly buttons, earned Méru the nickname of "WORLD CAPITAL OF NACRE".

Golf des Templiers
Designed by architects Patrick Fromanger and Marc Adam, Golf des Templiers stretches over gently undulating terrain, crossed by the Troësne river, with vast stretches of water bordered by century-old willow trees, which, as the story goes, were planted in the days of Henry IV, who hunted here.
The fairways, with their varied designs, benefit from automatic watering, as does the entire course.
The greens, built on sand, are challenging thanks to their pronounced contours and generous surface area.
Numerous bunkers enhance the course and effectively defend the greens.
18-hole course - Par 71 - 6130 meters - 20 practice bays, 4 of which are covered.
