Would you like to spend a few days in an authentic comfortable house on the banks of a river, in a rural village along the Champagne tourist route ?
Would you like to enjoy the landscapes of the Marne and Surmelin valleys with their vineyards, fields and forests ?
Would you like to discover the heritage of churches, castles and the memory of the great wars ?
Do you like walking, cycling, motorcycling or driving ?
Greet and Alain welcome you to their home.
Only one condition: we respect everyone and we expect the same from you. Here there is openness and diversity and above all the French motto: equality, freedom, fraternity and laïcité. Simple, plain and simple.
Therefore, we do not care what letter of ‘HHLGBTQIA+’ you are or what skin colour you are, you are welcome here and we will take care of you.
Our assets
- We provide only 2 rooms: tranquillity and privacy.
- Our house and its terraces are on the banks of a small stream.
It overlooks the wash house and the footbridge to the picturesque village.
The perfect place to relax to the sound of nature and water. - Our full breakfast: croissant, baguette, coffee or tea, homemade jam, freshly squeezed orange juice, cheese and ham, and if available an egg or fresh yoghurt.

- Dogs – in a basket or crate, are welcome – free of charge – in the room.
- We offer bikers a ‘biker’ package: motorcycle parking in our locked garage, simple meal in the evening, drying room and tools.
- We speak English, French, Dutch and German because conversation is important.
2 comfortable rooms
We only rent out 2 rooms to make you feel comfortable. The layout of the house and rooms is authentic, artistic and not luxurious, although each room has its own bathroom and toilet. The riverside terrace is great for breakfast and relaxing.
Passerelle
The Passerelle room, on the ground floor at the entrance to the house, has a walk-in shower with private toilet, a small sitting room and a desk. It overlooks the small village bridge and, of course, the river. The two single beds can be changed into a double bed.
Surmelin
The room ‘Surmelin’ has a double bed, a private bathroom and toilet and, most importantly, a private terrace overlooking the little bridge to the village, the river and our garden, the vineyards and the church. The room is on the first floor of the house, accessible via the authentic staircase.
Who we are ?
Alain (°1965) is a sociologist with career in management & communication. In 2018, he left the ‘rat race’ for a simpler existence. He is now a designer and maker of his own one-piece cast metal jewellery and creates leather accessories. He and Greet converted the house from 2012 and since 2018 he has been running the B&B there.
Greet (°1966), interior designer, for almost 20 years, co-run an art gallery in Leuven. You can see traces of it in the dozens of originals, etchings and lithographs from her own collection that adorn the B&B’s rooms. Greet then worked as a consultant in contemporary design furniture and today she is Sales Manager of a Belgian tannery.
Papi and mami of Phéline (°2018), Leandro (°2021) and ? (°2025), and owners of Minia, cane corso (6).
Our values are simple:
We love our authentic house with all its charm and want to intervene as little as possible on nature. We therefore leave our garden as ‘wild’ as possible, both of plants and animals.
