Chez Mathilde in Rarécourt

Our cottage is an independent accommodation part of our typical Lorraine house dating from the 17th century that we have restored keeping its old appearance with touches of modernity, on the edge of the Argonne forest and near Verdun. You can walk in the forest, listen to the birds, see a hare, a deer or other animals, fish in the river, go to the sites of the 1st World War Verdun: Douaumont, Vauquois. We are not very far from the champagne cellars (Reims, Epernay ...). Metz and Nancy. You can taste our little local wine, fresh eggs from the neighbor, homemade jams, Mirabelle brandy and many other specialties. We have a site you can consult. the surface of my cottage is around 85 m2 with a courtyard where there is the possibility of having meals with a barbecue and comfortable seats. There is a cot with all the equipment for the little ones; in the kitchen there is a dishwasher and washing machine and coffee maker, toaster, induction hob etc .....

Outstanding stay

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Chez Mathilde near Verdun. Annie, our host, was absolutely lovely — so welcoming and friendly, and she even treated us to delicious homemade goodies. The house itself was amazing, full of character with beautiful traditional features and immaculate furnishings throughout. It really felt like a home away from home. The area is fantastic too, with so much history to explore, especially the WWI sites nearby. We’d highly recommend Chez Mathilde to anyone looking for a charming and memorable stay! Thank you Annie

Annie is great

Had a lovely say this week at Chez Mathilde. It was chosen for the peace and quiet and because of the lovely cosy feel of the property. It was just the right distance for us to explore the forts and bunkers around Verdun. The gite itself, had everything we needed including a wood burning fire. Annie was lovely and made us a quiche, which was the best I have eaten. If we go back to this region again, we will defiantly be booking Chez Mathilde again.

A lovely gîte

We had a wonderful holiday at this charming property.It’s a great location for exploring the Verdun battlefield area .It’s within minutes of the A4 autoroute so it’s easy to get about and access. Supermarket and fuel very nearby too. Our host Madame Annie, is simply wonderful. She made us feel very welcome and gave us gifts of her wonderful produce. Thank you Madame Annie.

Delightful property, convenient for Verdun

A really great find. Lovely traditional gite in a delightful quiet rural village. Friendly and helpful host always available (even brought us a lovely tray of desserts), small boulangerie in the village within 3 minute walk. Excellent location to explore World War One history, only about a 20 minute drive to Verdun and it’s numerous sites of interest.

Great rustic get away

Our host was excellent. We turned up quite late with no food and they arranged a booking at a nearby restaurant after trying several others that were already closed. To top thst off they provided milk and tea after we arrived that was enough to get us going the next morning. Location was good and central to WW1 and WW2 sites and an easy day trip to Luxembourg. Absolutely loved the very olde world building and decor. Plenty of room with well equipped kitchen. David

Excellent!

We stayed at Chez Mathilde for a week in June. The cottage is divine. Loads of room, with lovely period features of the 17th century property. Annie lives next door and was so very welcoming to us even though we speak no French. Annie's daughter however lives in the property the other side of cottage and she speaks fluent English and was so helpful to us with advising places to visit. The cottage is well equipped with everything you will need and also has a nice courtyard garden which was lovely to spend time to eat meals and relax. The area of Rarecourt is very peaceful with the only real sound being the chiming clock of the nearby church. Verdun itself is a lovely place with many cafes and restaurants beside the river. It is also only a short drive to many WW1 sites. My advice would be to not spend all your time on the heavily advertised main attractions. There is so much more in the area that will not have the obligatory coach parties turning up to. I would recommend the butte de vauquois, le main de massiges (both of which are free to enter) and the privately owned 14-18 museum at Romagne-sous-montfaucon. This cottage is a perfect find in a lovely area. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

Dieses ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und es ist alles da was man so benötigt.Trotz der autobahnnahen Lage ist es absolut ruhig.Besonders nett ist die Gastgeberin Annie, die ihre Gäste mit Cremant, selbstgemachte Marmelade und Quiche Lorraine etc. verwöhnt und auch gerne für alle möglichen Fragen zur Verfügung steht.

Ruhe und Herzlichkeit

Am Anreisetag würden wir sehr herzlich von Annie begrüßt. Das Ferienhaus wirkt kleiner als es tatsächlich ist. Wir haben die Ruhe sehr genossen. Sehr viel Zeit haben wir auf der kleinen Terrasse verbracht. Die Vermieterin wohnt gleich daneben und hat uns mit Dessert und einer Quiche verwöhnt. Es kamen auch öfters Katzen zu Besuch, die aber nie das Gebäude betreten haben bzw. nie aufdringlich waren. Das ist ein Unikat was Möbel und Interieur angeht, es ist mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Die Umgebung ist sehr geschichtsträchtig. Ein Bolzplatz ist auch in der Nähe. Wer Ruhe, Geschichte und Herzlichkeit sucht, wird hier fündig.

Ein zauberhaftes Haus und himmlische Ruhe zum Jahreswechsel

Wir haben hier eine rundum schöne Zeit verbracht, es war einfach alles perfekt: Der herzliche Empfang durch unsere Gastgeberin, die gemütliche, liebevolle Einrichtung des alten Hauses, die Ausstattung, die es uns an nichts fehlen ließ und die himmlische nächtliche Ruhe, die für erholsamen Schlaf sorgte. Wir waren ganz verzaubert von dem Haus mit seinen vielen Balken, der kuscheligen Schlafnische und den vielen kleinen Details, die den Charme des alten Gemäuers noch unterstrichen. Und nicht zu vergessen der Kamin, der abends so wohlige Wärme verbreitet hat. Das Dorf ist klein und hübsch und wunderbar ruhig, von hier aus kann man zu Fuß viele Spaziergänge und Wanderungen unternehmen und ohne weit fahren zu müssen die geschichtsträchtige Gegend erkunden. Oder Landschaft und Natur genießen. Morgens kann man schnell um die Ecke in die Mini-Bäckerei gehen, um sich Baguette und Croissants zu besorgen. Auch ein kleiner Supermarkt ist nur ein paar Kilometer entfernt. Es ist ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank liebe Annie, für die wunderschöne Zeit in Ihrem Haus und für all die leckeren Dinge, die wir bei Ihnen kosten durften.

Wunderschöner Urlaub

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Urlaub in dem historischen Ferienhaus, welches sehr liebevoll eingerichtet wurde. Es war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Die Vermieterin Annie war sehr freundlich, ein richtiger Sonnenschein. Sie hat uns mit tollen Desserts und leckerer Quiche bewirtet und hatte stets ein nettes Wort für uns. Das Dorf und die gesamte Umgebung sind sehr ruhig, was für unsere Erholung super ist. Um größere Städte zu erreichen musste man etwas fahren. Nancy, Metz, Reims und Verdun haben viel Sehenswertes zu bieten. Der Meuse TGV Bahnhof, der ca eine halbe Stunde entfernt liegt, bietet die Möglichkeit in einer Stunde in Paris oder Straßburg zu sein. Der kleine Bäckerladen im Dorf hatte leckere Baguettes und sonntags Brioche. So war unser Frühstück gesichert. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen. Es war sehr schön.
