The region

Your holiday resort Ménil Lépinois is a small village with about 120 inhabitants in the south of the Ardennes.
Absolute rest and relaxation in a hilly, extensive field landscape are guaranteed. The center of the village is the old church with the Gottesacker. There is a Booleplatz, the bakery brings croissants, pain au chocolat and delicious baguette to the door in the morning, a mobile mom and pop shop comes on Tuesdays.
Many lonely dirt roads invite you to go for a walk, hike, jog or ride a bike.
After about 20 minutes by car you are at the foot of the first vineyards. A tour of the large and small wine villages of Champagne with occasional breaks for tasting should be at the top of the list of tourist activities.

There are also numerous options, some of which we would like to present below.

Reims - also called the capital of Champagne - is only a 20-minute drive away. The landmark of the city is the Gothic cathedral Notre Dame from the 12th Century. Here until the 19th Century the French kings crowned u. a. 1429 Charles VII in the presence of Joan of Arc.
From more recent days, the cathedral is known for its three beautiful Chagall windows.
Right next to it is the Palais du Tau - the Archbishop's Palace from the 16th Century.
The cathedral, the Palais du Tau and the basilica St Rémi from the 11th Century have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.
The small town of Epernay is one of the focal points of champagne production. One of the most beautiful buildings is the Moët & Chandon champagne house from 1743, which we can only recommend to visit.

The city center of Chalons-en-Champage is characterized by its many half-timbered houses and the collegiate church Notre-Dame-en-Vaux from the 12th Century - UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Goethe and Schiller Museum on Rue Péon Bourgois is worth a visit.
Chalons-en-Champagne is crossed by the rivers Mau and Nau. On a city tour in a boat you understand where the nickname "Venice of Champagne" comes from.

The historic center of the city of Troyes is shaped like a champagne cork. It is dominated by the Saint Pierre et Saint Paul cathedral, which houses a large number of shrines, and the Basilique St Urbain with its famous windows. In addition, it is worth visiting the patrician house Hôtel du Petit Louvre from the 13th Century. Troyes houses an ensemble of well-preserved half-timbered houses from the 16th Century, particularly beautiful in the Ruelle des Chats and the Cour du Mortier d'or.
Those who prefer shopping ... in the outlet center "Marques Avenu" with almost 300 brands for fashion and more should have something for everyone.

The cities of Charleville-Mézières and Sedan can be found in the Ardennes in the north, near the Belgian border.
The heart of the city of Charleville is the Place Ducale, an almost identical replica of the Place des Voges à Paris. Tsar Peter the Great is said to have taken inspiration for the construction of St Petersburg during a visit in 1717. Furthermore, a visit to the Basilique Notre-Dame d. Espérance with its 1000m2 of contemporary colored stone glazing, the Avenue d'Arches with its Art Deco houses, the big clock "Le Grand Marionnettiste" and the numerous places in honor of the poet Rimbaud, the city's most famous son.
Charleville-Mézières is also known as the capital of puppets. The international “Festival des Marionnettes” takes place every two years, the next in 2019. From April to December there are regular "Sessions marionnettes".
Sedan houses the largest castle complex in Europe, the Châteaux de Sedan from the 15th Century: surface area 35000 m2, estimated construction time one and a half centuries, main tower seven floors. Wall thicknesses between 7 and 27 m. The fortress is the venue for the traditional castle festival every year.

In addition to the historical sights, there are more than 5000 km of tourist routes in the Champagne-Ardenne region ... on foot, by bike, on horseback or by motorcycle.
In recent years, the green network - "La voie verte" - has been significantly expanded. These paths are reserved for pedestrians, cyclists or roller skaters.
Several long-distance hiking trails cross the region such as the GR 654 - Saint Jacques de Compostelle path and the GR 145 - la Via Francigena to Rome.

And for those who have never been to Paris ... the TGV takes you from Reims to the Gare de l'Est in Paris in 40 minutes !!

Splendid gîte - almost perfect
Le Terrier Ensoleillé is not a French gîte - it is a modern, well-appointed apartment that has somehow landed in rural, agricultural France. The gîte is well laid out, clean and well-equipped with comfortable beds and, star of the show, a wonderful indoor pool heated to a steady 28 degrees. Reims, Epernay and Chalons are all within easy reach, as are the delightful smaller Champagne villages. There is a downside, though. There a lot of flies all round the gîte. The owner spun us a yarn about how they were flourishing because of climate change, but the reality is they flourish because of the agricultural establishment just across the road. What the gîte really needs is an electronic fly exterminator and a healthy supply of fly spray to supplement the little fly paper by the door. Then we could unconditionally recommend Le Terrier Ensoleillé.

Geweldige vakantie
Onze vakantie in Menil Lepinois was in 1 woord: fantastisch!!! Op een locatie voor uitstapjes naar het mooie Reims, Rethel of richting de champagnestreek bij Epernay. Een prachtig huis voorzien van alle gemakken en heel veel luxe zoals het prachtige zwembad, maar ook omdat alles tot in de puntjes verzorgd is en super schoon. Maar wat het vooral speciaal maakte is de voortdurende belangstelling en lieve zorg en behulpzaamheid van Brigitte en Michiel. Niets is ze werkelijk teveel! Zij hebben ons verblijf werkelijk van alle gemakken en wensen voorzien, vreselijk lieve mensen die we voor dit alles willen bedanken!
