Nature house in Mont Saint Jean
Hauts-de-France, France
- 6 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Three and a half hours drive from Utrecht, but really in France, we rent this house with fully fenced garden of over 2,000 m2. At the edge of a small village where, completely French, sometimes a rooster crows or the dog barks but otherwise you only hear birds or village sounds. The terrace invites to long evenings with a bbq or fire and when it gets cooler, the wood stove inside (the basic heating is electric). The house is fully insulated and equipped with new electricity, plumbing and kitchen but where possible the original parts have been preserved. The chimney dates from 1788, the tiled floor (bring slippers!) and beams have been restored. There are six made beds but a crib or crib could be added. And there are plenty of towels and other textiles. What you don't usually think about beforehand: there are rarely, if ever, mosquitoes here.... In July and August, arrivals and departures are on Saturdays only.
Nature and surroundings
The cottage borders the French Ardennes. The area has something of the south of Limburg: gently rolling hills, wooded banks, lakes and streams, the forest is interspersed with herb-rich meadows with cows and sheep. Here you can enjoy hiking, biking or motorcycling (motorcycles can be covered). And yes, you really are in France: in the morning to the bakery for croissants and baguette, complaining about roosters or other village noises is 'city', it is more common to go out for lunch than out for dinner, no one speaks anything but French, in summer there are flea markets, jeux de boules (with wooden balls) and parties. And in winter it is quiet, sometimes foggy and muddy but inside the wood stove is burning.

Nice cottage, everything is there. Nice owner.
Leuk huisje, alles is aanwezig. Aardige eigenaar.
Very quiet environment. Bird sounds plenty. Large fenced garden qat was ideal for the dog. All day shade spots to be found under the trees.
Zeer rustige omgeving. Vogelgeluiden volop. Grote omheinde tuin qat ideaal was voor de hond. Hele dag schaduwplekken te vinden onder de bomen.

A 10 as a grade because I can't think of anything I would have preferred different. For hikers, it takes some searching for good trails that don't go along the road, but there are good apps for that.
Een 10 als cijfer omdat ik niets kan bedenken dat ik liever anders had gezien.
Voor wandelaars is het even zoeken naar goede paden die niet langs de weg gaan, maar daar bestaan goede apps voor.What a lovely house with beautiful, large fenced garden! The cottage is fully equipped, tastefully decorated, lovely in summer weather but surely also very cozy in winter. The shower is hot and powerful, the beds are comfortable, and there are beautiful (extra) thick wool blankets. The house was delivered incredibly clean. And there is a beautiful floor in the living room, a pleasure to look at for a week:). And not least: the dog had a great time in the large garden, and so did we!
Wat een heerlijk huis met prachtige, grote omheinde tuin! Het huisje is van alles voorzien, smaakvol ingericht, heerlijk bij zomers weer maar vast in de winter ook heel knus.
De douche is warm en krachtig, de bedden zijn comfortabel, en er liggen prachtige (extra) dikke wollen dekens. Het huis werd ontzettend schoon opgeleverd. En er ligt een prachtige vloer in de woonkamer, een genot om een week lang te bekijken:).
En niet onbelangrijk: de hond had het enorm naar zijn zin in de grote tuin.
En wij ook!This text is automatically translated.
