Les Hauts De Valjoly

Tip: Drive through Charleroi, across the Belgian-French border, keep south and you'll get to the lake Lac du ValJoly. On the north side of the lake you'll find the fantastic holiday park Les Hauts de ValJoly. Holiday park Les Hauts de Valjoly is located in the centre of nature reserve Parc Naturel Régional de l'Avesnois, a pristine area that, in terms of beauty, is not inferior to the Ardennes. You can experience deep forests, but also rugged, more open areas. Unforgettable hiking and mountain biking can be done here. Enjoy going into nature, enjoy the forest air and magnificent panoramas. You can be sure that the deer will notice you!

For gourmets: a small way across the Belgian border you'll find Chimay (18km), with the abbey and its famous Trappist beer and cheese. You'll also find a castle and a butterfly garden here. Tennis fans can enjoy a game on the tennis court in Eppe-Sauvage (3km). But to be honest: the main attraction in these parts is, and will always be, nature. It's so beautiful here, just a few hours by car away from our flat country!

For your daily shopping, go to the shopping street with its restaurants, crêperie, ice cream parlour, grocery store, boutiques and Irish pub. The natural environment has much to offer. Follow the tree trail, go do some archery or venture out on horseback. Several services are offered at the reception (for an additional fee) to make your stay agreeable, including free wireless internet and fresh bread delivered to your home. You may also make use of the washer and dryer at an additional fee. There is a central parking space.

There is much to experience at lake Lac du ValJoly. Swimming is not allowed, but nearly all types of water activities are possible. Do you enjoy fishing? Don't forget your fishing rod. A license can be bought at the reception. There are sports - and game equipments for the little and bigger children. There is (at a special rate), a trampoline, miniature golf and in winter, a small ice rink.
You have free access to the adventure wave pool. For an additional fee, you can relax in the sauna, jacuzzi and hammam. During summer an outdoor swimming pool with children's pool is available. All activities can be found at a ten to twenty-minute walk.

Would you rather go for a drive by car? Then lonely winding roads will reveal themselves through the greenery before you. Past the many other lakes, such as Étang de la Galoperie (16km) and villages such as Wallers-en-Fagne (9km), known for its blue stone quarries. You can do the children a big favour by visiting the zoo of Maubeuge (30km). Something quite different is the Matisse Museum in Le Cateau-Cambrésis (50km), the birthplace of the famous painter. You'll marvel at the Gallo-Roman excavations at Bavay (44km).
