Gîte d’Étape

The Ardennes


Completely rebuilt in 2016, this modern hostel's hilltop location at the southern edge of town provides some lovely sweeping views over rolling forested hills.

Rates include breakfast, other meals are available by request. Guests can use crockery, microwave and kettles but not the full kitchen. The (four- and six-bed) dorm rooms come with USB charging points and small lockers (use your own padlock) but in reality you and your group will rarely need to share with strangers.
