A family story
Since 1992, three generations of the Legrand family have brought La Ferme du Couvent to life.
A Brie farmhouse steeped in history
La Ferme du Couvent is a former Brie farmhouse dating from 1650, whose origins go back to a convent of the congregation of Saint Francis. It nestles in the Ancoeur valley, on a protected site in the heart of Seine-et-Marne.
Nicole and Jacques Legrand
In 1992, Nicole and Jacques Legrand bought the farm and set out on a long-term project: bringing it back to life. Stone by stone, they restored it.
At first, they welcomed guests in their bed and breakfast and offered hot-air balloon flights: the balloons took off and landed right in the garden. Little by little, the farm also became a place to celebrate life's great moments.
We owe them everything you see here today. They are no longer with us, but their warm hospitality lives on in every corner of the estate.

The next generation
The children and grandchildren have taken over: Olivier and his wife Isabelle, Catherine, and the granddaughters, Clémence and Pauline. Together, they carry on the spirit of the house: a warm welcome, a carefully kept estate and attentive support, from the first visit to the morning after the party.
More than 30 years on, hundreds of couples and families have celebrated under our roofs. And every new event is, for us, one more beautiful story.
