The Ardennes
Behind a proud 1884 facade, this pleasant two-room B&B is scattered with colourful ceramic art pieces from the co-owned gallery. Guests have use of a basic kitchen at the top of the house where obliging owner Audrey serves a tasteful breakfast that includes jam made of fruits from the garden.
