Il était une Ferme

Set in the green bocage of the Avesnois, this characterful guesthouse blends restful stays with a practical setting for small events. Four thoughtfully refurbished bedrooms, including two spacious suites, provide comfortable on-site accommodation with private terraces and calming garden views. Guests can unwind by the heated pool, borrow bicycles to explore riverside paths or book a relaxing massage, creating a resort-like feel in a quiet rural corner close to Maubeuge and Avesnes-sur-Helpe.

For organisers, the highlight is the Salon du Chineur, an intimate room designed for gatherings of up to 20 seated. It suits board meetings, seminars, training workshops and private dining. The room opens to a terrace and lawn for fresh-air breaks, with access to pétanque for a light-hearted team reset. Practical details are covered, including Wi-Fi, a large screen TV and flipchart pads, plus convenient on-site parking and direct access for easy setup. Catering is available to order from resident chef Christophe, from refined seated meals to cocktail-style receptions or pop-up concepts, allowing you to tailor the experience to your brief.

With a peaceful garden setting, welcoming hosts and flexible packages such as gift experiences and romantic stays, this venue works equally well for corporate off-sites and family celebrations. The location is 3 km from Aulnoye-Aymeries station and near the Forêt de Mormal, making it a straightforward, countryside choice for small-scale events with accommodation under one roof.
