Très chouette couple français avec son fils de 14 ans et son jeune cocker. Ils ont bien profité du gîte, de la plancha, de la piste de pétanque et de l’étang de nage durant cette semaine d’août. Nous leur avons conseillé de belles randonnées à pied et à vélo dans notre région que nous écumons également à vélo. C’est avec beaucoup de plaisir que nous les accueillerons à nouveau.

Ein Traum für Architekten

Unser Aufenthalt in Florennes war absolut fantastisch. Die Unterkunft ist wundervoll eingerichtet und die Küchenausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen. Absolutes Highlight ist natürlich das unglaubliche tolle Grundstück, auf dem alleine man schon den ein oder anderen Spaziergang machen kann. Wir haben uns morgens noch in den Teich gewagt, Boule auf der eigenen Bahn gespielt und Burger auf der Plancha gebraten. Ein rundum gelungener Wochenendtrip, wir wären gerne länger geblieben.

It was a pleasure to welcome this group of friends from Düsseldorf. They were very enthusiastic about discovering our estate. Despite the grey weather and the advanced season, they even went for a swim in the pond and took full advantage of the Nordic bath and the plancha. They also went for a walk through the property, following the Dragonflies walk signs. They were a great group of smiling, energetic friends, and we look forward to welcoming them again!

About the host

Hosted by Anne Champion

Host profile image
Anne and Jean-Luc are originally from Wallonia and have travelled extensively. Anne travelled the world as a flight attendant and Jean-Luc, as a photographer, has also produced a number of books on contemporary houses around the world. The couple have been running design gîtes for 20 years, and love to welcome guests and pass on their passion for this piece of nature that is their estate. They are also happy to offer advice on heritage, art and local addresses.

Why they chose this property

A wide variety of dragonflies, ducks, frogs, birds, herons, deers and foxes will immerse you in a world of sights and sounds.
A long pontoon invites you to swim in
the pure water fed by numerous
springs on the property.
This unique 6-hectare haven in unspoilt
nature is shared exclusively with the
owners!

What makes this property unique

During the day, there are lovely walks through this piece of nature and its many ponds, or a dip in the large swimming pond followed by a Nordic bath
the soun of birds dominates, as no cars pass along the small dead-end road leading to the property
In the evening, there is the frog choir and the twinkling stars, as there are no street lights.
The most difficult thing is to leave the estate, as people appreciate this immersion in peaceful nature so much that they never want to leave.
