The Jardin du Mont des Récollets, charming in spring and summer, is open to visitors from May to October and is just a stone's throw from the accommodation. The Flemish estaminets invite you to taste specialities of Flanders such as carbonade flamande, pot'je and craft beers in a friendly, traditional atmosphere. The Musée départemental de Flandre traces the art and history of the region and is open all year round. La Grande Maison, a reception venue next to the accommodation, hosts weddings and events in a remarkable setting. The Monts de Flandre offer lovely hikes and bike rides through the hills and hop fields. Mont des Cats with its Trappist abbey, and Mont Noir round off the walks. Dunkerque and its North Sea beaches, and Lille with its historic centre, are all possible day trips. With its Flemish heritage, northern cuisine and rolling landscapes, French Flanders offers a unique change of scene.
