SURROUNDINGS
The house is located in a quiet wooded area in the French Meuse region about 35 kilometres south of Verdun and 40 kilometres north of Toul, in the town of Varvinay.
From Utrecht ±520 km.
Varvinay is located near the
recreation area Lac de Madine in the nature reserve Parc Naturel Régional de Lorraine.
Fishing enthusiasts can also indulge themselves here. Do you like walking, cycling or horse riding? The forest and the 20 km. long path along the lake offer plenty of possibilities. For a change of scenery, you can make trips to the historical places Verdun, Metz, Toul and Nancy.
THE HOLIDAY HOME
The holiday house is situated on 3.000m2 own land. The small forest next to house A (seen from the road, the left part of the house) is also part of this, as well as the meadow next to house B. In the large garden there is a cable car, swings, slide and seesaw for the children. There is also a campfire place where gathered wood can be burned. From the garden you have a beautiful view of a far stretching meadow landscape with horses and sheep. Along the garden runs a small (shallow) stream.
The house is suitable for two families. Both houses have a living room, kitchen, bathroom and 3 bedrooms. The houses are separated by a double dividing door on the ground floor, which can be closed from both sides, so that the house can also be rented as two separate houses.

Reviews
Mischa Hoyinck from Zutphen,
Een heerlijke kerstweek doorgebracht in Les Fontaines met z'n 8-en. We hadden beide gites tot onze beschikking, dus lekker veel ruimte en de mogelijkheid om ook even de tussendeur dicht te doen als de kleuter in het gezelschap iets te druk werd. Bij aankomst was het huis erg koud (Henk had ons gewaarschuwd en we waren er op gekleed!), maar met de houtkachels, open haard en gaskachels was het goed warm te stoken. We hebben genoten van de rust en ruimte, en vooral ook de stilte 's nachts. Heerlijk geslapen! Het weer zat niet echt mee, maar op een van de droge dagen toch een lange wandeling kunnen maken om het Lac de Madine, en verder wat korte heen- en weertjes in de directe omgeving. Metz en Nancy waren ook zeer de moeite waard. De inventaris van de gites is fijn compleet, alles is in ruime mate voorhanden. Voor het bereiden van ons kerstdiner misten we alleen een staafmixer en een grote oven. Er zijn 2 combimagnetrons, maar voor het grote diner en het dagelijkse verse brood bakken was dat een beetje behelpen (ja, we zijn nogal verwend...). Al met al hebben we een fantastische week gehad. Een aanrader en voor herhaling vatbaar!
Wendy from amersfoort,
Wij hebben een heerlijke week gehad in jullie bourgondische vakantiehuis. Wij waren met een grote groep en hadden beiden huizen gehuurd, er was genoeg ruimte.
Buiten genoten van de grote tuin en ‘s avonds bij een kampvuur gezeten. De kinderen hadden volop de ruimte om te spelen. Vanuit de tuin een prachtig uitzicht op een weiland waar paarden stonden en meerdere keren roofvogels gespot op zoek naar een lekker hapje te eten.
De Keuken is basic maar prima.
De oven was voor ons gezelschap iets te klein, maar we hebben verder prima kunnen koken.
In de omgeving is echt van alles te doen, we hebben ons niet verveeld. Bedankt voor de fijne week!Sandra Smulders from Groesbeek,
Wij hebben hier een heerlijke vakantie gehad. Samen met onze 3 kinderen huurden wij één huis, het andere huis werd gehuurd door vrienden met hun 2 kinderen. De omgeving is mooi en in de avond is er van alles aan dieren en insecten te zien, te spotten en te horen. De kinderen hebben zich uren vermaakt in de tuin. In de buurt is het bezoeken van verschillende kleine musea leuk om te doen, zwemmen in Lac du Madine en klimmen in een klimbos. Om de dag vervolgens af te sluiten met spelletjes spelen aan de grote tuintafel en heerlijk BBQen in de prachtige tuin. De communicatie met de verhuurders verliep goed en duidelijk. Dus.....een hele mooie plek en een heel fijn huis om er vakantie te houden!
