The Manoir and the buildings in which the Gites are situated were built in 1742 by the wealthy notary family 'Voilette'.
Given the fact that there are 2 pigeonries on the property and the Manoir is close to the church, we can assume that the Violette family was an aristocratic family.
The Gite and the Manoir are situated in/on the edge of a beautiful, picturesque hilly village (400 inhabitants) in the middle of les sept vallees.
From the house and the gites on the hill you have a beautiful view on the village and its Romanesque church which is a protected monument.

Restaurants, food & wine
In the village you will find a very good wine merchant where you could buy some bottles to take back to the Netherlands.
Furthermore, there are several excellent restaurants in the vicinity.
Activities
We are 5 minutes away from a protected forest where it is lovely to stay.
You can go there on bicycle/mountain bike or just for a nice walk.
Of course you can also sniff up a lot of culture besides the smell of pine.
What about a visit to a museum in Arras or Amiens, a visit to the cathedral in Amiens which is on the Unesco world heritage list, experiencing at first hand what it is like to stand in a trench from WW1, visiting a mountain cave dug out by man in the 10th century?
The beach is a 40-minute drive away, so on a hot day you can get a tan there!
There are two small rivers through the village where you can go fishing.
This is just a selection of the possibilities!
If you own a horse, you can take it with you on holiday!
We have 1.2 hectares of pasture where you can put your horse for a small extra charge (max 2 horses per week).
We also offer horse rides and horse and carriage rides (pulled by real Boullonais draft horses) where you can see all the monuments in and around the village under the guidance of a guide.
