The house
In the oldest house in the village, apart from my own home, I have also realised a holiday home in 2019. Your house has its own entrance and consists of a hall, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room. In addition, you have a covered terrace of approximately 15m2, which overlooks my large garden and which you may of course also use. Next to my house is a large car park. You have an excellent wifi connection.
I have named your flat Chatrou. That's what the residents call their village because the name is rather long. Your house is a great base for a walk, bike ride, champagne tasting, beach day at Lac du Der and so on. You will be surprised by the enormous views through which nice country roads pass.

Chatelraould Saint Louvent lies on the edge of the Champagne limestone plateau. Next to it lies "the Der". This region lies a little lower and in the middle lies the Lac du Der. This is an enormous reservoir, thus artificially constructed. It is meant as water storage to regulate the water level in the river Marne. Every year, in the period from February to April, the Marne overflows in an area where it can do no harm. But the Marne flows into the Seine, which runs through Paris. And there the flooding is undesirable, which is why the lake was built. The water level in the lake varies with the seasons. From October to December it is dry and then it gradually fills up again with water from the Marne. Because of this drying up of the lake, we have a beautiful phenomenon here every autumn: The bird migration and the wintering of the cranes. The peak of the crane migration is in mid-November. Then there are between 100 and 200,000 cranes in and around the lake. Wonderful to see!

Kitty & Jan from Buggenum,
Uitstekende vakantie gehad in een mooie rustige omgeving.
Leo is vriendelijk, erg behulpzaam, en geeft veel (praktische) info/tips over de omgeving.
Heeft ook interesse in de bezoekers ook om het verblijf aangenaam te maken, top.
Bedden zijn prima, net zoals het appartement.
Onze fietsen mochten in de garage, zonder er zelf om te vragen.
Leo heeft alles wat een goede gastheer nodig heeft, bedankt.Kitty & Jan from Buggenum,
Leo is een vriendelijke gastheer, met oprechte aandacht voor de bezoekers.
Zelfs onze fietsen konden ongevraagd in de garage, top.
Weet genoeg te vertellen over het huis, de omgeving en heeft tips voor dagtripjes
Prima, schoon verblijf in een rustige omgeving, kompleet met goede bedden.
Een aanrader met een eigenaar die moeite doet voor zijn gasten.
Restaurants, food & wine
Most restaurants have a traditional French cuisine and are not expensive. In Vitry le François, there are a few good restaurants, where it is better to book in advance. Of course I am happy to do that for you.
I can tell you a lot about champagne and I am happy to give you addresses/trips where you can taste excellent champagnes, but where you will also enjoy the journey.
I am happy to help you on your way and I also like to open a few bottles and let you experience and explain the different tastes. Champagnes are of course cheaper here. A good champagne from a small house (I prefer to go/ send you to the wineboer who does everything himself) starts at € 14 and ends at € 25.
Activities
Your house is a good base to visit the huge lake, Lac du Der. Lots of forests and nature, but also beautiful beaches with good swimming water and many water sports possibilities. Special cities nearby are Troyes, Verdun. All shops can be found about 5 kilometres away in Vitry le François. A nice little town with a cosy centre. There is a good restaurant 100 metres from your house. You can also choose to go walking or cycling by the canals that were built in the 19th century along the river Marne and have a picnic there. And of course, you can go visit a champagne winery and taste and buy their champagnes there. Of course, I can explain in advance what to look out for then and I know plenty of addresses where you will feel well received. The village suffered badly at the beginning of the First World War, but also during the wars under Napoleon and the first Franco-German war in 1869/70. If you want to know more about the First World War, you will find numerous monuments nearby. The battlefields near Verdun are the most gruesome testimony to this, but there are plenty of other places unknown in history where you can get an idea of the inhuman drama that took place here.

Further remarks
The house has a double bed in the bedroom and a single bed in the living room. For shorter stays and by agreement, this also allows you to stay with 3 people. I then charge 7.50 per day per extra person.
IF YOU CANNOT COME BECAUSE OF THE COVID EPIDEMIC YOU CAN ALWAYS REBOOK!
