Les échelles de Rochehaut - The Rochehaut ladders

A real must when you stay with us 🫶

Just make sure the weather allows for it.

A beautiful Semois river.
A long time since it had that little water.

End of summer.

Yesterday, we had a visitor...
Looks like she was waiting for a buddy to play football.

Fifteen years ago, right on Easter Sunday, I planted these birches in front of the house.

Today, when the heat reaches 36°C outside these trees give us a precious shadow.

And more, they create a healthy microclimate around the Graide Retreat and its Lodge.

This place will always follow a conscious, ecological and loving transformation path.

Full of useful properties and used widely in plant medicine because it is

The late spring time makes you feel somehow irreal in the Southern Ardennes.
The spaces, the smells, the sounds...

A solitude walk.
Or a walk with a dear person.
Or in a good company to share the pleasure of living 🍀

And then a relaxing moment in the sauna to integrate the experience of the day

💚
