Ardennes Resorts used for family holidays
- Domaine de Chôdes (1991), near Malmedy, by "Vrij Uit". Nicely located for running
and making trips, but we obtained a very unclean house. However later the parks were
maintained and improved considerably by "Creatief Vakantieparken" in Groningen.
- Village Les Gottales (1993), on the Mont St Jacques near Trois Point,
by "Creatief Vakantieparken" in Groningen. This small park we can recommend!
Very save for little children, a nice place for running hills, magnificent views over the
hills. Note that Trois Point is also easily reached by train from Luik to Luxembourg.
Ardennes weekend trips
With a group of Philips collegues and relations I frequently visited the Ardennes to
make a two days walking tour along some path of the GR (Grande Randonee). Once we
also canoed the Lesse from Houyet to its entrance in the Maas. Most of the houses we
reserved using Euro Relais in Eindhoven. The houses were located near Spa, Ligneuville,
Achouffe, Marenne (Marche-en-Famenne) and Gouvy. Nice walking conditions were found near
Malmedy and La Roche-en-Ardennes. For the Lesse tour we camped at Anseremme, which
is just south of Dinant.
The planning of a weekend is usually done at the
Trafalgar Pub Internetcafe in the Dommelstraat
in Eindhoven, while drinking guinness.
