Hello! I am Annemieke and I have been living in France with my husband Rick and our two sons since 2005. After a few years we carefully started renting out 2 cottages and a few camping pitches. When that caught on, we gradually expanded it to what it is today. It won't get any bigger. We prefer garden to camping and prefer to receive guests rather than customers. Our children are (almost) out of the house now, but we will certainly continue to enjoy our site and the people who feel at home with us for a number of years to come.

Tips

  • The social palace 'le Familistère' in Guise is definitely worth a visit.

  • From April to September there is almost always a flea market nearby on Sundays.

  • Vervins is a small, charming fortified town with various catering establishments.
