In the living room you will find a 6-seater pear wood dining table which dates from around 1700. In addition to a four-burner stove, there is a classic and well-functioning wood stove (around 1900) great for lovers of slow cooking (firewood available). Furthermore, there is a Nespresso machine and a small electric oven for your warm baguette and a refrigerator with a three-star freezer compartment. At your disposal is also a small wine stock which we kindly ask you to replenish yourself after use.

This self catering holiday home is uniquely situated on top of the hill near the village of Brouennes and has a legendary view over the valley and village. In the middle of the 'green lung of Europe', on the border of the Ardennes and Meuse departments, in the triangle Luxembourg-Reims-Nancy.
The immediate surroundings are very hilly in contrast to the rest of the landscape. The roof tiles which, as I was told by old Italian immigrants, remind of Italy and are exceptional for the architecture. The houses are built of beautiful yellow stone from the quarries of this area.
Brouennes is a small village with 160 inhabitants, it is one of the most characteristic villages of the area with houses along the river Baâlon. This small stream of water supplies the fish farming ponds between the village and the castle of Bronelle.
The "wild" nature is beautiful and accessible, with a great variety of birds and exceptional flora.

Henny en Hans Beekhuis from Heerde,
Een heerlijke week gehad in deze gite, waar we voor de 2e keer waren. Mede dankzij het enthousiasme van eigenaar Ruud voel(d)en wij ons direct weer heel prettig in deze kleine, maar knusse gite in het Noord Franse land. Hou je van rust en wandelen/fietsen dan is deze plek een ideale uitvalsbasis.
Frits & Karin Egters from Den-Helder,
Wat een leuk huisje en zoveel goedkoper dan een hotel .
En dan die zeer originele kruiden annex moestuin waar wij met plezier gebruikt van hebben gemaakt .
Heerlijk op het terras gezeten met z'n bbq en genoten van het panoramische uitzicht .
Het was een heerlijke week en het huisje was super schoon het ontbrak ons werkelijk aan niets .
Dit is een aanrader , met dank a/d eigenaar ,
Frits & KarinJanna & Wim from Middelburg,
Ruud en Ank ,
Op de morgen van ons vertrek uit " La Vignette " nog even een afscheidsberichtje . We hebben een onvergetelijke week achter de rug en niet alleen dat Pluvius verstek liet gaan maar mede door het aangeboden onderkomen . Bij verblijf in het huisje , is opgevallen , dat over het interieur goed is nagedacht , die een vriendelijke rust uitstraalt . Een aanmerkelijk tijdsdeel hebben we op het terras doorgebracht met z'n magnifieke vieuw . Nogmaals onze dank voor het verblijf ons geboden . Janna & Wim

For your daily shopping there is a hypermarche in Stenay, (6 km) and a bread and grocer's bus arrives in the village every day.
There are a number of simple restaurants in Stenay and Montmedy. Furthermore, good restaurants in Herbeumont and Torgny in Belgium (about 30 km) and in Reims and Nancy (up to 100 km). There are weekly general farmers markets (fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, fish and clothing) in Stenay and Montmedy (6.14 km).

Activities
Plenty of opportunity for cycling, walking, sunbathing, reading and lighting fires. From the holiday home, walk directly on the "Chemin de Vaches", or make a bike ride to Stenay, through forests, hills and valleys! For fishermen, there is the possibility to catch a maximum of 8 trout in the ponds of Brouennes for 12.50 euros, it doesn't get any fresher! The Maas also offers many opportunities for fishermen (with a permit). Climbing can be practiced in one of the old quarries. For shops, museums, restaurants and champagne, go to Reims or Nancy at a distance within 100 km. Throughout the summer season, there are many flea markets -with good prices- in the surrounding departments. Swimming is possible in the Maas and in the lakes around the Maas.

Further remarks
The holiday home also includes the use of our organic herb / vegetable garden. This is an 80 m2 walled garden with on the lowest level about seventy different kinds of herbs, including Amaranth, Roman Chervil, Oregano Dictamus, Chinese Chives, Coarse Chives, five types of Sage, Garden Cress, Genepi, Lemon Herb, Roman Chervil, French, Mexican and Siberian Tarragon, Oyster Leaf, Bergamot, Woodruff , Absinthe and many, many others. On the higher part the 'forgotten' or old vegetables such as Jerusalem artichoke, Sea kale, Sea fennel, Cardoon, Purple Radish and many, many others. A challenge for experimental chefs; new flavors and beautiful colors! It is important to note that most herbs and vegetables are available from May to October - see pictures.
Herbs in a dish are like punctuation marks in a story and give it meaning and taste...
