Opt for a green interlude

Just two hours from Paris, Lille, and Brussels, choose the Ardennes, a region of low and medium mountains increasingly popular with those who love to disconnect, enjoy nature, and appreciate fine food. Indeed, this area is brimming with unexpected treasures, both in terms of natural and architectural heritage, as well as gastronomy.

It's the perfect place to recharge your batteries just a stone's throw from major cities. Nature is everywhere, and the numerous forests, lakes, and rivers offer a wealth of activities such as cycling (thanks in particular to the EuroVelo 19 route), climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, and hiking. Plenty of opportunities to breathe in the fresh air.

But the Ardennes is more than just that; it's also home to a multitude of castles, a rich history, excellent local cuisine, and over 80 craft breweries. We invite you to discover all this for yourself during a beer and nature weekend where everything will be done to ensure your relaxation.

Let us guide you: our experts have crafted a turnkey trip just for you. Once your stay is booked, we'll contact you to arrange a date. Then, you'll receive a travel box at home with your detailed itinerary. A complete experience to treat yourself to or give as a gift.
