The place to live

Fully equipped kitchen

The open kitchen is the real focal point:

generous work surface, family oven, spacious fridge and hob for cooking produce from the Saint-Omer market.

People prepare, chat and pass the coffee pot around before serving around the large table, with its windows overlooking the canal.

It’s a warm and simple experience, with a marshy flavour, in this unusual gîte.

Enjoy a delicious meal prepared by you or your caterer in our fully equipped kitchen:

Domestic appliances: dishwasher, oven, microwave

coffee machine, kettle, toaster, citrus press

crockery: glassware, plates, dishes, cutlery, etc.

Lots of kitchen utensils, saucepans...

Fridge and freezer

ceramic hobs, raclette and pancake appliances

Panoramic lounge facing the canal

The saloon, bathed in light from its windows at water’s edge, is the ideal place to relax: deep sofas, 180° panoramic views over the canal and the gentle rhythm of the water lapping against the hull.

You can sit back and chat, read or simply let the time go by, enveloped by the tranquillity of the place and its surroundings.
