An all-you-can-eat brunch on a terrace with breathtaking views in the Yvelines?

Sundays, we agree, are brunch days! And what could be better than a buffet brunch on a terrace overlooking the Seine? We're taking you to Rolleboise, on the way to Giverny, near Vetheuil and La Roche Guyon, to discover the exceptional brunch at Domaine de la Corniche. In place of Panoramique, the house's Michelin-starred restaurant, you can sit down on Sundays from 11.30 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. to enjoy a gourmet brunch, served to perfection.

Perched high above Rolleboise, a village overlooking one of the branches of the Seine, the Domaine de la Corniche has a lot going for it. It's the ideal setting for a romantic weekend or a family brunch. After a simple and easy online reservation, you're off to discover the panoramic Belvédère restaurant. The motto here is "first come, first served". So we decided to arrive at 11:30 a.m. to grab the terrace table with the best view. We're the first to arrive, and there's a wide choice of two-top tables, each with its own parasol.

Inside, the restaurant is spacious, with larger tables available for groups and tribes. We're informed that brunch is divided into two parts, on one side sweet with pastries, cakes, cereals, cold meats, fruit, dessert, fresh juices and hot drinks.

And on the other, in the dining room on the left, when you enter, you'll find a large table ofoysters, salmon, focaccia, quiches, brochettes and gambas, mimosa eggs and more. The choice is wide and varied, and all you can eat.

We're told we can help ourselves as we wish. Only homemade hot chocolate and eggs are available on request. Fried, scrambled, it's up to you, if you wish, there's no extra charge. Only wine or cocktails are extra if requested.

Expect to pay €55 per adult and €25 per child under 12 for this gourmet offer, which is well worth the money. We love the in-house pastries and viennoiseries, the creamy hot chocolate, the delicious oysters and the in-house dishes.

Once you've settled in, don't miss the chance to descend below to discover the real Belvédère de la Corniche.

If you feel like walking a little further, extend your walk to the unusual kiosk at Châtillon, some 30 minutes from this point. An art nouveau vestige of the 1900 Universal Exhibition awaits you. You can then take the car back across the Seine to the only village in Ile-de-France to be listed as one of France's most beautiful villages, from where you can visit the Château de la Roche Guyon and the unusual troglodyte church of l'Annonciation, a little further on.

In short, it's a great way to spend a Sunday with one of the most beautiful views in the Ile-de-France region! It's the ideal place to disconnect from the city without having to go far.
