The house
The quiet and freely located spacious holiday home (150m2) is an old farmhouse with modern and comprehensive comfort, and is completely available for you. Carefully refurbished and available for rent since 1 July 2023, comfortable in any season. The grounds (1500 m2) are fenced and thus safe for children and pets. The old beams (poutres), the authentic barn (grange), the vaulted cellar (cave) and the atmospheric Godin wood-burning stove give you the feeling of history. The kitchen with all amenities (including dishwasher, combi-oven/magnetron, fridge with freezer drawers), the separate toilet, the bathroom with sink and walk-in shower, central heating in all (bed)rooms, TV, internet and wifi, and a washing machine and dryer in the scullery give you the comforts of home. The house has a cosy sitting room (with smart TV for Netflix, YouTube, etc., among others, and an audio installation) with spacious corner sofa and several armchairs, a dining area with old wooden round dining table and a separate stylish garden room with round table and book/game cupboard. Also on the ground floor is a spacious double bedroom with electrically adjustable slatted beds. From all rooms on the ground floor there are beautiful views of the garden and rolling countryside. On the upper floor you will find a spacious landing with sitting area and two double bedrooms, both with beautiful views. All bedrooms are equipped with very good mattresses and beds, and of course plenty of cupboard space for your belongings. Upstairs is also a spacious 'playroom' with table tennis and various indoor games. If necessary, 2 simple guest beds can be added in this room. A cot and baby chair are available. All rooms have tilt-and-turn windows and shutters on the outside. The interior is warm, spacious, comfortable and cosy. There is firewood near the wood-burning stove. In the shed you will find more firewood, as well as the barbecue and cushions for the various seats in the garden. In the shed, you can also place your bicycles if necessary.

The house is located on the edge of the hamlet of Archon on the border of the Aisne department (Picardy region, Hauts-de-France region) and the French Ardennes. This protected nature reserve is called 'the Thiérache', a varied rolling landscape of meadows, fields, hedges, forests, streams and small hamlets. The area is very quiet, spacious and green with beautiful views. The area is very sparsely populated. From the garden, where you can relax in the sun or in the shade of the trees, you can enjoy the silence and the beautiful views over the rolling countryside. In the evening, you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets and the impressive starry sky. In short, a wonderful place to unwind. From the house you can go hiking and cycling, you will regularly see deer, birds of prey and squirrels. 3 km from Archon is the small town of Rozoy-sur-Serre, with two bakeries, a small and large supermarket and a restaurant. You will also find electric charging stations on the square opposite the town hall, which you can use for a fee. One of the most beautiful villages in France, Parfondeval, is also 3 km away. The walk there is beautiful. In Pardondeval there is a restaurant/café with a terrace. In our house we have a folder for you with further information on the area.

Reviews
Wendy van Leeuwen from KRIMPEN AAN DEN IJSSEL,
We hebben genoten van de woning maar vooral van de tuin! Aan alles is gedacht om je te vermaken. heerlijk fruit in de tuin om van te snoepen 😋. En een heerlijk en prachtige omgeving waar je helemaal kunt ontspannen. Wieneke is een super aardige gastvrouw!
Raymond Bruggeman from Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht,
Wij hebben ons prima vermaakt in en rond Maison Archon. Mooie rustige en landelijke locatie.
Veel ruimte, zowel in als rondom het huis. Dank aan Wieneke en Eric welke werkelijk aan alles hebben gedacht om er een goed verblijf van te maken.Nel from SCHIEDAM,
Fijn groot huis met alles erop en eraan. Stille landelijke omgeving. Onze speelse foxterrier ging lekker uit d'r dak met een balletje in de afgesloten tuin.
Restaurants, food & wine
There are several restaurants in the area (see among others the folder in our house). The Champagne region is nearby, with Reims as a beautiful city where, apart from many good wines, one can especially visit the champagne houses and cellars, or start a tour for a round through the famous Champagne region (e.g. Epernay).
