Insolite

Does the ordinary annoy you? Do you like the unexpected? Turn your stay in the Pays des 4 Bras into an extraordinary journey!

If when they say « refuge » you think « dogs and cats », expect to be surprised! The village of Bousval is home to a rather special refuge… L’Arche doesn’t have any dogs or cats among its little boarders, but rather lions, tigers, bears, raccoons and camels! Yes, it is in fact a refuge specialising in exotic animals. So it’s not a zoo, as all these animals have been rescued from complicated situations…

And why not take a little step away to admire the landscape of the Pays des 4 Bras… from the sky? Satisfy your thirst for freedom and fly away aboard one of Baisy-Thy’s microlight aircraft! Fly over the countryside and forests, visit the Abbey of Villers from a different angle or go and say hello to the Waterloo lion. An unforgettable experience for an absolutely extraordinary stay!

Need a little break? Go back to childhood by paying a little visit to Madame Oleson. Yes, the one from The Little House in the Prairie. Push open the door of this little restaurant and enter a world of softness and sweetness that smells like freshly baked chocolate. The decoration is worthy of the TV series, but don’t worry, this Madame Oleson is much more welcoming than the original!

Take off to dreamland in the enchanting setting of an artist’s studio. This gîte has been tastefully furnished by the artist and sculptor Agathe De Rouck in her studio in the centre of Genappe. Between clay, wood and stone, let yourself be impregnated by the warm atmosphere of the place and why not, by the creative inspiration!
