Farmhouse

The Old Farm - La Fermette


In the rolling countryside of the French Ardennes, this typical Ardennes old farmhouse has been transformed into a comfortable, spacious family home with beautiful style features. Located in a green oasis in a hamlet near the village of Liart, in the middle of the French countryside with its beautiful views, you can completely relax here. The last French inhabitants of the farmhouse play the leading role in a surprising newspaper column by the Dutch journalist Henk Hofland. Under the title 'A second house' he writes about the residents of the hamlet of Cornaux: '…the farmer's wife with hands like Enka sponges, her mentally handicapped son and the son who perished from drinking'. A family epic in a nutshell that now hangs man-sized in the cottage. After the death of the last family member, the farmhouse fell into disrepair until the current landlords resurrected it from the ashes with respect for the past, but adapted to modern times. The house can be heated all year round with a large wood stove.

The kitchen is fully equipped. The dining room has a king size dining table. On the first floor a comfortable bathroom with shower and bath, two spacious bedrooms and a huge bedroom in the former hayloft. For up-to-date information and photos you could also take a look at the internet page of the Old Farm. The house is heated with a sturdy wood stove that can bring the ground floor to a pleasant temperature. The bedrooms on the upper floor can be heated with electric heaters, but can feel a bit colder at low temperatures.

The Old Farm is surrounded by nature, in the middle of the Parc Regional des Ardennes. With opportunities galore for walking on beaten and unbeaten paths, cycling up and down hills or swimming in a lake. Strolling around a brocante in the area on a sunny Sunday morning. Strolling through the clay with boots on a fresh autumn day. Or just do nothing by the wood stove. Everything is possible. And all that within an instant, less than 250 kilometers from the Dutch border. But immediately plenty in 'la Douce France' , with church, pub and grocery, with the bakery of delicious baguettes and croissants. The spacious grounds of the farm house an orchard with different apple, plum and cherry varieties. A little further on the other side is La Grange, De Oude Korenschuur . This monumental building for four to six people can be rented in combination, so that a holiday can be enjoyed with several families.

The French Ardennes. Nice and close and yet plenty of France, with church, pub and grocery. Far away from traffic jams, tailgaters and speed demons. In the evening with a drink in complete silence under a clear starry sky. Roast apples with cinnamon in a campfire. Occasionally a job in the house or garden. The ultimate feeling of peace and freedom.
