General Overview
This old house welcomes us, brings us together, warms us. I love its low ceiling rooms, the wood fire in the living room, the different spaces to make everyone feel comfortable, and the extraordinary garden with an incredible view of the countryside and forests.
All you have to do is leave the house, take a few steps and you find yourself in the forest for hours of hiking through woods, fields, rivers,... The scenery here is breathtaking!
10 minutes from La Roche-en-Ardenne where the medieval castle awaits you and many activities such as a game park, kayaking, mountain biking,...
We have not yet made an exchange, this is new for us and we are very enthusiastic about the idea of exchanging our house for a few days, but also our habits, our advice for an unforgettable stay.
We will be very respectful of the cocoon that you will be willing to share.
Welcome to paradise with our 2 cats Pacha and Cleo who are autonomous, they come and go as they please and only want us to feed them.
The Space
It is an old house renovated 15 years ago, which was used as a gîte, and we have been living there for 4 years, my 2 sons and I. It is a house without luxury but with all comforts.
Warm, practical thanks to the 2 toilets, a laundry room and a garage.
There are 3 bedrooms:
Bedroom 1: a 160*200 bed, very comfortable latex mattress, high quality
Bedroom 2: 1 bed 90*200
Bedroom 3: 1 bed 140*200
The cosy living room contains a wood burning stove with glass, there is a flat screen, Netflix, a good internet connection, outdoor and board games.
The 700m2 garden with views of the countryside is extraordinary and offers a swimming pool (3*2m) in summer, a swing and a petanque court. Aromatic herbs are just waiting to flavour your dishes.
Guest Access
Space in front to park.
1 staircase leads upstairs.
Notes
Opposite is the very clean farmhouse of the owners who are always present, discreet and friendly. Life here is sweet, punctuated by the rhythm of the farm where you can get fresh milk:)

Neighbourhood
The house is in a cul-de-sac, so there is no traffic except the farmer and walkers.
The village is small, has no shops, you have to go 3 km to a bakery and 5 minutes by car for the other shops (market, pharmacy, bookshop, doctors,...)
There are plenty of restaurant choices in the area, to suit all budgets and of very good quality.
I will be happy to inform you of the right addresses.

Christelle
Hello! My children Jean (14) and Louis (11), and myself, Christelle (45), like to discover new countries.
We particularly appreciate nature and calm but are open to any proposal of discovery.
I am a coordinator in a tourist office in the region and have been independent for a long time in the field of bakery and catering. So I am able to provide you with a lot of information about the area.
I love hiking, but I also love music; singing, piano,...
I love to travel and also to live in this house where you feel like you're on holiday! I hope to have the pleasure of exchanging with you, and perhaps exchanging our homes.
I have to travel during the school holidays specific to Wallonia, and can also travel on weekends.
Do not hesitate to ask me your questions, I will be happy to answer them in French, English or Dutch.
