Still above Verdun is the small sloping village of Brandeville, where the weather is milder and the sun shines more often than in the wider region.
The holiday home has a stable internet connection (fibre optic), so the house also lends itself well to working from home.

Reviews
Ritchie Donk from Rozenburg (Zh),
We hebben heerlijk genoten van een weekje in een karakteristiek en charmant huisje in een rustig dorpje, wat heerlijk onthaasten is. Zon & regen wisselden elkaar af en toch voldoende genoten van de fijne, ruime tuin waar altijd wel een heerlijk plekje is te vinden om te relaxen of te eten. Prima uitvalsbasis om mooie tripjes te maken in de Grand Est incl. marktjes en vide greniers. Ook fijn is de rondrijdende uiterst vriendelijke dame van de bakker die dagelijks (behalve op woensdag) je kan voorzien van verse baguettes en allerlei viennoiseries. Tip: tarte au sucre! Kortom, een fijne week😊
Peter Post from Maassluis,
Heerlijk groot huis met enorme tuin, altijd schaduw of zon ergens ( mits die schijnt). Bakker was helaas met vakantie, laatste 3 dagen van kunnen genieten.
Heerlijk rustig dorp aan het bos, prachtige omgeving.
Perfect contact, kortom voor herhaling vatbaar.Rene Ouwens from Rijswijk,
Wij hebben een heerlijke week gehad in dit mooie oude en spannende huis (van alle gemakken voorzien). Schitterende omgeving: de bossen, de heuvels, de akkers met zonnebloemen. Wij zijn lekker bijgekomen op deze rustige plek, midden in de natuur en vooral in de waanzinnig fijne tuin (hangmat was favoriet 😀). Elke ochtend de claxonerende bakker voor de deur, maakte het helemaal af. We hebben enorm genoten 🙃
Comment from Anita van Amerongen

Graag tot een volgende keer!
Hartelijke groet, Anita en Willem
Restaurants, food & wine
Near holiday home Maison de Brandeville are a number of nice restaurants. A plat du jour is good and inexpensive in many places in the region. The region La Meuse has the first vineyards in recent years: the Cote de la Meuse (near Lac Madine). In the village of Cobres-sous-les-Cotes there are several wineries, including "Muzy" But you can also taste wine in Marville. near Brandeville.
The classic cities of Metz and Nancy (both within 100 km) are well worth a visit; here you will find a combination of culinary and culture.
The Champagne region and Reims are also within easy reach from the gite. The epicentre of the Champagne region is a 1.5-hour drive away. Highly recommended. Addresses of a few small-scale champagne houses are available in the gite.
Verdun is the largest city near Brandeville (30 km) with an organic Friday market in des Halles, but also has market on the quayside of the Meuse, with its many nice terraces and clothes shops.
For your daily shopping, Intermarche and Lidl you can go to Stenay or Dun sur Meuse (both 12 km away).
