Wallonia
Overlooking peaceful countryside some 8km northwest of Rochefort, Le Briquemont delivers a winning combination of congenial service, handsomely designed modern rooms and thoughtful extras (like an evening aperitif served fireside or on the terrace). Hosts Nadine and Alain make guests feel at home, and exquisite dinners are available by advance notice.
The small, heated indoor pool is open year-round.
