Life on the domain
To maintain their rustic character, the cottages and castle have all been renovated in their original style.
All the comfort that you need for yourself and your friends is present.
Every cottage has its own kitchen, BBQ, private terrace, garden furniture and an enormous communal garden.
Sit back and relax, and if you feel active you can play badminton, ping pong, go fishing or play jeux de boules (please bring own material).
Here you can rent bicycles, mountain bikes, canoes and even peddle boards. For the youngest there's a small playground and shallow brooks to splash around in.
In summer we provide a small swimming pool.
During your stay you will see our horses and pony.
They like to wander around the domain.
Would you like to bring your own horse so you can explore the forest together and enjoy these beautiful surroundings?
You can rent a box and/or meadow from us so you don't have to worry about that.
Life around the domain
We are situated on the well-known bicycle path “Voie verte trans-Ardennes”.
Here you can ride your bicycle, take a walk and rollerblade right next to the Meuse. This path is 130km long!
Furthermore, you'll find lots of hiking trails and mountain bike-routes that start from our domain.
Not only does the valley of the Meuse offer many sportive possibilities such as kayaking,horse riding and taking your teenagers to the very fun and exciting “Parc Aventure” but you can also go and see caves, museums and historical places.
Just want to go for a relaxing boat trip on the Meuse? That, too, can be easily arranged.
Some history
This area bursts with history. Here are just a few examples:
Around the 3rd century the Mont Vireux was coveted by the Romans. It was a strategic place that served to protect the important ironmongeries that were situated next to the Meuse. It helped to keep the ever-advancing German tribes away.
In 1789, eleven people were registered here. It is very probable that their community was an independent one. An ingenious system of water mills was installed on several locations. The remaining canals and ponds are proof of that.
At the end of the 17th century, an important tannery and sawmill were built which means that the domain had a local, economic activity through which the small community grew.
Belgian king, Leopold II, used the beautiful and isolated domaine Le Risdoux to meet with his mistress.
