18 Feb 26 - Living in harmony with nature
The Sambre River as a horizon, calm as the only companion.
February invites us to slow down, to the moment when nature holds its breath before spring. Why not come and disconnect where time seems to stand still?
Good news: the second week of the February holidays is still available at the Gîte de Hourpes.
Imagine...
The mirror of the Sambre, shimmering in the soft winter light.
The silent passage of a barge rippling the water and inviting reverie.
The forest bordering the cottage offers its secret paths for a revitalizing walk.
Here, forget the frenetic pace. Between the Hanging Gardens of Thuin and the tranquility of our valley, your only plan will be to contemplate the flight of an early morning bird or to savor the warmth of the gîte after a walk in the fresh air.
Treat yourself to this interlude of water and greenery.

08 Feb 26 - The flavor of the Ardennes
"We thought we'd be crossing the Ardennes… and yet, here we are in the hills above Hourpes 😍🥾 From the GR 129, we saw the hamlet appear, the meanders of the Sambre and the forest stretching as far as the eye could see 🌲✨ After all those kilometers, what a joy to put down our bags at the gîte in Hourpes 🏡💚 Calm, comfort and unspoiled nature: exactly what we needed 😌🔥 In the evening, we put the world to rights, our legs heavy but our hearts light 🌄🍷 A stage not to be missed, for sure 👣❤️"
Will we see you at our place soon?
04 Feb 26 - A "surprise guest"!
An unexpected visitor this evening…
As I was walking calmly out of the cottage, I didn't expect to come across this deer.
Clearly, he too appreciates the peace and quiet of the place…
At the Hourpes guesthouse, luxury is silence, nature as far as the eye can see and sometimes wild encounters right outside the door.
Here, there are no horns, no crowds… just you, the forest, the river and apparently a few four-legged neighbors.
Want to truly disconnect?
