An ideal setting to enjoy activities on the farm as a family
The Laneffe fortified farm, which dates back to 1604, is still a working agricultural holding. Owner Danielle’s four children continue the agricultural activities.
Children will be able to have fun with the various animals on the farm (a cow, pigs, horses, chickens). With the help of the owner and their parents, the little ones will have the chance to take care of ponies (brushing, grooming, etc.) and enjoy a ride along a safe track on the back of these gentle creatures.
Numerous walks can also be taken starting from the farm. Make the most of woods and paths running through fields to recharge your batteries and benefit from the fresh country air. Roadbooks are provided for mountain biking or horse riding.
