Region

The Ardennes region of Belgium is legendary for its deep mysterious forests, it’s wave-like hills carved by glaciers and it rushing trout streams. There are countless biking, hiking, skiing and horse-riding trails. The Ardennais are hardy people, outdoorsy, with a lust for life. And their cuisine is fascinating. Every fall game (pheasant, quail, wild boar and deer) come on the menu. They are often cooked in local abbey ale with forest nuts and wild red berries accompanying. Many farms make their own cheese using the time-tested, sustainable methods of their ancestors. Local bread is baked in wood-fed ovens, wild mushrooms
are cooked in local butter and it’s all washed down with robust local beers. There is a distinctive French style to the dishes but they bear the marks of this unspoiled region. The Ardennes is an earthy, pleasure-loving and pleasure-giving place. For this reason so many thousands come every year to Durbuy, the smallest city in the world with one of the best preserved medieval vibes in Europe. Chardeneux itself, which lies in a picturesque valley, 100 meters below the property has been named one of the twenty prettiest villages in Belgium. Its harmonious stone houses nestle around a beautiful slate-roofed church, while further afield lie farms and fields and bubbling creeks.
