Auberge du Grandgousier

Mirwart, a small well-hidden village between Rochefort and Saint-Hubert, perches its few houses and towering 18th-century château above Lomme Valley, opposite 1,300 hectares of deep forest.

After cutting his teeth in several leading restaurants and aboard riverboats on the Saône in France, Philippe and Katrien, both locals, took over the Auberge du Grandgousier in early 1990, a beautiful local stone house that serves sophisticated gourmet cuisine to up to forty guests.

Heavy oak beams, creaking wood staircase, rustic decoration and flowers inside and out all give this barn conversion an authentic charm.

The nine guestrooms will enable you to stay as long as you need to explore the region's many attractions. Guests will soon feel at home in the family atmosphere.

The main street leads to the château. Imposing but modest, the listed building has stood since the Middle Ages. Boosting an extraordinary history, it has often been damaged by wars and revolutions but has always been rebuilt and improved. On a rocky spur, it overlooks the Lomme, a peaceful but winding river. At the bottom of the village beside the forests are the community's fishponds. They have been specially developed to show visitors the huge variety of fauna and flora by the water. In the season, you might see some fishing rods dotted here and there. The statue of the Seed Sower, an unmissable landmark created by a local artist, will greet passers-by beside the church. It has also given its name to the local beer "Le Semeur". Although much smaller than the church, it adds a human touch to this remote village. You can't help but love the mix of traditional architecture, old stones and unspoilt nature.
