This holiday home is located a few hundred metres from the famous Orval abbey in the old abbey forges (listed as historical heritage). The owners gave it their best to preserve the authentic charm of the building: walls plastered with chalk, beautiful hardwood floors, antique doors,...) while at the same time adding modern comfort and tidy decoration.
This impressive self-catering holiday cottage in the Belgian province of Luxembourg ensures the perfect holiday with family or friends. A visit to the abbey, to Florenville or long hikes in the beautiful surrounding area... There's plenty to do in the region.
Orval , a small village deep in the south of the province of Luxembourg, is mostly known because of the delicious beers and the abbey. But Orval is more than just that. It is located next to the French border and it is the ideal departure point to start exploring the Belgian Ardennes . Furthermore, Bouillon and Virton , two great Ardennes cities, are just about a half an hour's drive away.
Florenville is a city in the south of the province of Luxembourg. The large territory stretches out alongside the French border and the river Semois flows through. It is a beautiful piece of Belgian Ardennes and the city centre – where the shops are open on Sundays – is really charming. Florenville is just a half an hour's drive from Bouillon and Virton , two charming Walloon towns.
Prouvy is a small place that belongs to the municipality of Chiny in the province of Luxembourg. Among others you will find the 18th century castle Château du Faing. The area of the Pont du Fer (Iron Bridge), in the valley of the river Semois, is dedicated to barbecues in plain nature. Furthermore, Prouvy is just a 40 minutes' drive from Bouillon , a charming city in the south of the Belgian Ardennes .
Cross the Semois by kayak, it's a fairytale experience in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes ... Make sur to follow the advice of the "passeurs" (the ones who cross the river and organize the activity).
From Chiny to Lacuisine, Florenville, Martué or Chassepierre: 8 to 26 kilometres in a single or double kayak or a canoe. That’s what Kayaks de l'Embarcadère proposes to you! Enjoy loads of water fun in the heart of the Ardennes.

"Les forges" is heel ruim en heeft een prachtige ligging. Tijdens ons verblijf was het zo'n 30 graden, maar het huis bleef heerlijk koel. Op het terras heb je een vrij uitzicht over weiland en bossen. De vriendelijke gastheer en gastvrouw wonen naast het vakantiehuis, maar bemoeiden zich niet met ons. Het was een heerlijke plek om tot rust te komen. De plaatjes op de website geven een goede indruk van de werkelijkheid. Wel veel muggen en steekvliegen in de omgeving, maar niet bij het huis zelf.

Des bières d'Orval et du miel nous attendaient à notre arrivée, super sympa....La météo fut excellente, la région très belle; dommage que la peste porcine africaine nous ait empêchés de randonner dans les bois mais heureusement la France était tout tout près et comme chacun sait: les sangliers restent en Belgique
Gezellig en zeer ruim vakantiehuis en dit zowel wat betreft zithoek met voldoende zetels, grote eettafel, gerieflijke en goed uitgeruste keuken; vriendelijk en correct onthaal; goede uitvalsbasis voor diverse en gevarieerde wandelingen
