About this property

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

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.

L’Argonne

We arrived expecting to learn more about the Great War but left having experienced so much more. Great area of beauty and historical interest. Our host was very helpful and provided us with a taste of the regional cuisine and hospitality that was above all expectations. The gite was full of character and the location very quiet and friendly. A great time was had.

Charming

"Chez Mathilde" is a charming old quaint building in the centre of Rarecourt. It has been excellently renovated whilst retaining a lot of its original features and character. It is very comfortably furnished and well presented with everything you need for your stay. It is well situated to visit the beautiful Argonne region and beyond.

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.

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.

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.

Wir haben zwei superschöne, ruhige Wochen in diesem wundervollen Häuschen verbracht. Es ist mit so viel Charme und Liebe zum Detail erhalten und modernisiert worden, dass wir selbst am letzten Tag noch schöne Kleinigkeiten entdeckt haben.Es ist alles vorhanden, was man für eine gute Zeit braucht: In der Küche ist alles vorhanden und auf der süßen kleinenTerrasse gibt es einen Grill und Sitzgelegenheiten.Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und alles stand bereit für uns. Die Hausherrin wohnt nebenan und hat uns mit tollen lokalen Spezialitäten und Tipps für Unternehmungen versorgt. Das Glasmuseum mit einer Vorführung von zwei mobilen Glasbläserinnen und die Führung durch zwei sehr freundliche Herren war ein echtes Highlight. Sehr eindrucksvoll, bedrückend und wichtig in der Umgebung: Butte de Vauquois und Main de Massiges. Unbedingt besuchen, um zu sehen, wozu Menschen fähig sein können. Trotz der entsetzlichen Geschichte sind die Menschen in dieser Gegend soooo unglaublich freundlich, dass wir es kaum fassen konnten. Der Ort hat uns so viel Ruhe und gute Gedanken mitgegeben. Danke für diese Erfahrung und die wundervolle Zeit. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Spannender Urlaub in historischer Umgebung

Das Ferienhaus ist ein mittelalterliches Bauernhaus mit angenehm rustikalem Charme. Wir fühlten uns fast schon wie Hobbits in ihrer gemütlichen Höhle. Nur Pfeife rauchen ist nicht gestattet. Die Vermieterin Annie hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und sogar mit selbstgemachtem Dessert und einer Quiche Lorraine verwöhnt. Das Dorf ist sehr ruhig und bietet auch für Kinder genügend Möglichkeiten, draußen herumzutoben. Wir werden den Aufenthalt in guter Erinnerung behalten. Sehr empfehlenswert.

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.
