Fontenoille is a quiet village in the Gaume 8 km from Florenville, with its typical sandstone houses from the local quarry. Already in 1235 the village was mentioned for its sources of pure water which are still present nowadays. In our holiday home fresh spring water is available.
Fontenoille is located in the Belgian province of Luxemburg, close to the French border and the French Ardennes, with the famous city of Sédan and the nearby battle field of the first worldwar.
It is an interesting base with a central location, ideal for exploring the Semois Valley and the Belgian and French Gaume region.
The meandering river Semois, which runs at 3 km from the house, is one of the most splendid natural environments of the Ardennes. The many typical villages along the river are like pearls on a wonderful string: Chassepierre, Herbeumont, Florenville, Poupehan, Dohan, Cordemoy, Bouillon, Vresse, Rochehaut, Frahan…
The region is an excellent place to bike, to hike, to do horseriding and especially to discover the Semois river by canoe.
The Gaume region is a quiet region with rolling woodlands and breathtaking open spaces which enjoys a mild climate.
