The beautifully green Ardennes countryside lies in the heart of the Champagne region. A friend of mine, a lover of nature and its relaxing and rejuvenating qualities, recently decided to take a trip to the area to de-stress and top up with some positive energy. She loved it, especially as she was lucky enough to discover a unique establishment: the Domaine Château du Faucon. This lovely château, dedicated to the good life, is set in an impressive 28-hectare park. Welcome to the world of comfort and fine dining.
Situated in the middle of the Ardenne’s invigorating landscape, the Domaine Chateau de Faucon is surrounded by woods and pasturelands. Immerse yourself in this beautiful nature, during long walks, taking advantage of the peace and quiet.
During the day, you can take advantage of the Chateau’s activities, all centred around its beautiful surroundings. Take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage or hire a bicycle or quad and head off to explore the great outdoors along the famous Trans-Ardennes path, an 83-kilometre route along the Meuse. Those that prefer to stay closer to home will revel in the gorgeous relaxation area, with the sauna, hot tub and an array of massages.
Walking in the estate brings you to the château’s restaurant La Cotterie. Offering delicious cuisine based on locally sourced produce, a meal here is the ideal chance to discover the riches of the Ardennes. The meals are creative and seasonal, guaranteeing that you will be eating the freshest produce available! In the summer months, you can enjoy the sunshine on the terrace as you eat your meal.
After wonderful dinners and enjoyable walks, you will be equally pleased to retire to your rooms. The hotel offers a unique set of rooms and suites, which bear testament to their 17th century history. Elegantly furnished and exceedingly comfortable, the rooms offer the opportunity to relax and unwind in typical chateau luxury. Choose between the hotel and the Chateau and enjoy a stay in the gorgeous Domaine Chateau de Faucon, the place where time slows down and you can put your watch and mobile phone aside to take advantage of the good life.
