In one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia… cradled at the heart of the Molignée valley… an old stable, a forgotten hayloft…nestling on the edge of nature… transformed into havens of peace and tranquillity.
GITES VECI… to FALAËN…
An old stable in local stone converted into a two storey dwelling, Li Vi Stauve (The Old Stable) is hidden from the road in the garden… Once the hayloft for the village house on which it sits, Li P’ti Sina (The Little Hayloft) provides a micro-gîte under the eaves of a sloping roof.
Access to both gites is along an alley that runs beside the owners’ house and garden. Peace and quiet are the only leitmotifs! Patios, green open spaces and games for young and old, and, as if at the end of the world, a table in the heart of nature to enjoy a country feast.
Fans of country walks and - at times - energetic cycling will be spoilt in this land of valleys, woods and rivers. The countryside is alive with tracks waiting to be discovered. Just 2 km from the village, a Ravel (track for ramblers and cyclists) follows the twisting meanderings of the Molignée as it flows to join the Meuse at Anhée, and, from there, on to Dinant or Namur. Upstream, the old railway line lends itself to track cars (another activity waiting to be discovered) towards Sosoye (another Most Beautiful Village in Wallonia), Maredsous Abbey, the country crafts village of Maredret, Saint-Gérard and its Abbey, Bambois with the lake.
Falaën is brimming with attractions, ranging from its secular buildings, its protected fort and country products, the enchanting ruins of Montaigle, to its railbike under the greenery of the Molignée and its gastronomic restaurant La Fermette. A few kilometres away there is a beautiful and rich region waiting to be explored: The Gardens at Annevoie, Dinant, its citadel and its collegiate church, its pastries and the Rocher Bayard, boat rides, adventure park, the Lesse and its canoes, the Meuse and its castles, the Bocq and its breweries…
