Experience the authenticity of the Ardennes in the heart of a welcoming village
The village of Hargnies, with a population of around 500, is a real haven of peace thanks to the legendary forest that surrounds it.
Hargnies is also renowned for the quality of its traditional and artisanal charcuterie: white or black puddings, traditional sausages, Ardenne ham, wild boar specialities... Discover this know-how by ordering your charcuterie platter. It is cooked by the Boucherie Charles and delivered directly to your gîte... Perfect for a pleasant meal after a beautiful hike in the Ardennes forest.
The baker, from the Pâte à choux bakery, drives by every morning (except Sundays).
If you are a lover of good food, does the Cacasse à cul nu arouses your curiosity and you wish to discover the generous Ardennes gastronomy? The Causerie des Lilas, in Hierges (about 13 km) or the Auberge du Malgré-tout in Revin (30 km), will allow you to discover some of the classics of our region in a most charming medieval setting. You don't want to drive? L'Aulnet, the restaurant in Hargnies, is simply one of the best rated in the region! And the chip shop on the main square is open every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6 to 9 pm.
An ideal geographical location near the Meuse
Located in the heart of the Ardennes Regional Nature Park, Hargnies is strategically situated to visit the most emblematic sites and villages of our region without having to drive too far.
You will find yourself within easy reach of the most beautiful meanders of the Meuse and the charming villages they surround: Monthermé and its breathtaking viewpoints (don't miss those of the Roche à Sept Heures or the Longue-Roche), Bogny sur Meuse and its magical panorama of the 4 Aymon Sons hills, or Haybes "the Pretty one", where you will admire Fumay from the viewpoint of the Platale.
And what if you are a history lover and a fan of beautiful villages?
You will be delighted by the unique historical heritage of the French Ardennes, which has always been an important crossroads in Europe. The medieval city of Hierges, the citadel of Givet or the nature reserve of Vireux-Molhain, which is full of fossils, are very close to your cottage.
For the star-shaped town of Rocroi and its fortifications, Sedan and its gigantic castle, or Charleville-Mézières and its Place Ducale, you will only need to count on a short hour's drive at most.
