Bed & Breakfast Au Chapitre

Our remarkable bed&breakfast is located in Rozoy-sur-Serre in the north of France at the edge of the French Ardennes. In our remarkable mansion (an old notary's house) with a lot of history we offer you large, bright rooms, provided with all comfort. The rooms of the bed&breakfast have their own entrance and are separated from our own part of the house. Our bathrooms are large and equipped with walk-in showers. The breakfast is extensive, with various types of bread and croissants from the best baker in the area!

In the evening, you are invited to have dinner in our beautiful salon, entirely made of oak wood. We will prepare a delicious meal for you with love and pleasure, using fresh and as much local products as possible.

Our garden is an experience in itself, with a large, private courtyard and a jacuzzi!

Our house is situated in the 'Chapitre', the old centre of the village. This is where the clergy used to live who were connected to the local church, which is now over a thousand years old.

Our bed&breakfast is situated in a rural environment. The French Ardennes are ideal for walking, cycling, motorcycling and especially for those looking for peace and quiet. France has many beautiful cities, such as Reims and Laon. These special cities are close to our bed&breakfast. Also on your way to your holiday address you are very welcome at our bed&breakfast.

We will do everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible and we look forward to welcoming you and letting you enjoy our fantastic house.

See you soon!

The beautiful hilly landscape of Thiérache, at the border of the French Ardennes, are perfect for walking and cycling endlessly. The sloping landscape is very varied with small timeless villages and breathtaking views. For centuries, agriculture and cattle breeding have determined the image of meadows separated by small rivers and low hedges, giving the whole a charming appearance. 3 kilometres away, the French Ardennes begin for those who are looking for more of a challenge in terms of height difference. Of course we have various routes available, for a whole day walking or cycling both on paper and on GPS. Most walking and cycling routes start in Rozoy-sur-Serre. These routes vary in distance and run both on paved and unpaved roads. You can feel the rest in this area; it is so quiet that you can walk and cycle on the paved roads without any problems; you will hardly meet anyone. When you are walking, cycling or driving around there is a high probability that you wil see wild animals, such as deer, birds of prey, pheasants and even sometimes a fox, marten or squirrel. The wild boar is the symbol for the Ardennen, but you'll rather see the marks in the woods than the boar itself. Also on your motorbike you can easily drive on the quiet roads and enjoy the views. The winding roads arn't boring at all and every 5 km you'll arrive in a small village.

For a change of scenery, you can also make a daytrip: the champagne capital Reims (55 km), the medieval city of Laon (45 km) where you can also visit part of the underground city. Near Laon you find the 'Chemin des dames' with several war memorials from the first World War. You can also visit Charleville-Mézières (50 km), actually two cities separated by the Meuse River that runs straight through these two cities. Along the Meuse River is a flat path for walking and cycling only. Another unique daytrip is when you go to Guise (50 km) where you can easily spend a whole day in the familistère and the tour that rest of the castle of the duc of Guise. Special in this region are the fortified churches, where in times of turbulence the population could be sheltered. An example can be found in Parfondeval (5 km), which is classified as one of the 'most beautiful villages in France'.
