The house
La Grande Maison sleeps 14 and is ideally suited for family gatherings, friendly families or a workshop.
Originally a large stable and 2 farmhouses, converted over the years into 3 living units under one roof
each with its own entrance, (food) kitchen, living room, bathroom(s) and bedrooms.
The largest house, for 7 people, has a very spacious, well-equipped kitchen and a large dining area where you can easily eat with 10 people, with the addition of a table even with 14 people.
La Grande Maison is detached and has a south-facing garden with a large terrace and a large walnut tree providing the necessary shade.
The house thus offers both space for many people to eat together or stay (outside) as well as opportunities for smaller retreats.
Heating with wood-burning stoves, wood is in stock.

Surroundings

Our house is located in the French Ardennes, or more precisely in the Gaume, a region overlapping the Belgian-French border, a sparsely populated area bordered by the Ardennes, Lorraine and Meuse. The landscape is varied, hilly, with meadows and arable land fringed by groves and larger forests, crossed by rivers, streams and small streams.
There are no shops in the village itself; the baker comes by honking daily. At 3.5 km is a warm bakery and grocery shop, at 15-20 km are many shops and large supermarkets.
At 23.00 in the village, the street lights go out, it is often pitch-dark and on a clear day you can enjoy a beautiful starry sky.
- Hilly
- Meadows and woodland
- In or near a village
Reviews
Ellen Dekker from Zutphen,
Geweldige plek. Ik heb alle 3 de huisjes gehuurd met een groep van 10 personen. Zo is er ruimte genoeg en kunnen mensen zich ook wat terugtrekken als ze willen. Het huis is van alles voorzien. Fijne grote tuin, prachtige omgeving waar het heerlijk wandelen is. Rustig dorp. Lieve eigenaars, die graag helpen en meedenken.
Restaurants, food & wine
There are several restaurants in the area and nearby is Orval Abbey, famous for its beer and cheese production.
Activities
The French Ardennes, only about 350 km from Utrecht, is a sparsely populated, hilly area with varied nature where you can enjoy hiking and cycling right from home, a little further away also swimming, canoeing and fishing. Within a radius of 30 km you will find e.g. the Abbey of Orval with beer and cheese production, the Hermitage of St. Walfroy with panoramic views, Ferthé with access to the Maginot Line, Avioth a small village with a large basilique, Montmédy an old garrison town with citadel, Mouzon with cathedral and felt museum, Chassepierre on the Semois where an annual international street festival is held and Sedan with a large castle. There are also frequent broquantes in the immediate vicinity.
In the house you will find information on the surrounding area, also in a wider radius.
