About this holiday home

At 30 minutes from the Belgian border and 15 km from the beautiful city of Charleville-Mézières, capital of the French Ardennes, you will find this cozy holiday home. From the terrace, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the rolling countryside. On garden level, there is a relaxation area equipped with a pinball machine, fireplace, and TV with chromecast. Children can play here happily while the adults enjoy themselves upstairs by the wood stove with a good glass of wine. Pets are also welcome.

There is plenty to do in this beautiful wooded area, about half an hour from the Belgian border. You will find yourself in a beautiful natural environment with lovely hiking and cycling routes. You want to spend a day exploring the area? Visit the city of Charleville-Méziers, located on the river La Meuse. This city has an ancient history dating back to the year 1000. Have a coffee on the Place Ducale; once the site of the Duke's palace, this square was inspired in style by the Place des Vosges in Paris. Visit the town of Sédan with your children. Here you will find the largest fort/castle in Europe. Want to explore the French Ardennes by bike? The Voie Verte Trans-Ardennes consists of a 130 km waterfront cycling route. Would you rather explore nature close to your holiday home? From your own accommodation there is direct access to the vast forest of the Chateau de Guignicourt (800 ha). A moment for complete relaxation ? In one of the dépendances of Guignicourt castle, there is a salon where you can book a massage.

The pictures and description of the house are truthful. Everything else functioned as it should. The garden was large and our dog could run around free. The caretaker was available for questions via Whatsapp and always responded quickly with clear answers. All in all we enjoyed our holiday and the peace and quiet of the surroundings.

We stayed at the Gite on a family trip of 8 adults and 2 dogs. There was more than enough space for everyone in the two living rooms, the large kitchen and 4 spacious bedrooms. Our dogs absolutely loved the fenced garden where they could run around free. The gite is somewhat old but it is clean as are the bed sheets, towels and furniture in general. If I have to give one small comment, it is that we could have used a bit extra cutlery for 8 people. Other than that, we had a perfect stay in Guignicourt-Sur-Vence.

We had a lovely stay at this spacious house with our family. One of the real highlights was the beautiful garden — a perfect place to relax and enjoy some quiet time together. The house itself is large, with plenty of room for everyone, and the beds were very comfortable, which made for great nights of sleep. There are a few things to keep in mind: the house was a bit difficult to heat when the weather got cooler, and the interior felt a little plain and not as cozy as we expected. Also, there was no light above the kitchen sink, which made washing up in the evening a bit tricky. That said, the host was extremely helpful — when we noticed the coffee machine wasn’t working, they brought us a new one right away, which we really appreciated. All in all, a good place for families who want peace, space, a nice outdoor area to enjoy, and a host who’s quick to help when needed.

Tip from the homeowner

The nearby castle, which is not open to the public, was built in 1710 by the Wignacourt family, two of whose members were Grand Masters of the Order of Malta. Alof from 1601 to 1622. Adrien from 1690 to 1697. Today it is owned by the descendants of the Wignacourt family, namely: The Princes of Merode

Tip from the expert

- You have direct access to the forest of Domaine du Château de Guignicourt (800 ha) - You can, for a fee, use the castle's catering service. - The owner offers the opportunity to buy Wignac cider directly on the estate - it is possible to book carriage rides in the Domaine's forest - Disconnect completely and take time for yourself and your body by booking a massage with Aurélia in her salon in the dependencies of the château de Guignicourt
