Explore the region by bike
Envie de partir à l'aventure sans prendre la voiture ? Des vélos sont mis gratuitement à votre disposition pendant votre séjour.
Ils vous permettront de rejoindre facilement Pairi Daiza ou de partir explorer les nombreux chemins de campagne qui sillonnent les environs. Bastien vous a préparé plusieurs boucles au départ lodge qui offrent une belle occasion de découvrir les paysages de la région, entre villages de caractère, champs, bois et prairies.
Our walks starting from the lodge
Les plus belles promenades sont souvent celles que l'on connaît par cœur.
Au fil des années, nous avons parcouru les sentiers, chemins de campagne et petits coins de nature qui entourent Lodge Story. Nous avons préparé plusieurs itinéraires au départ du lodge, de différentes distances et niveaux de difficulté, afin que chacun puisse profiter pleinement des paysages.
Certaines balades sont accessibles aux poussettes et aux personnes à mobilité réduite.
Toutes les informations, les cartes ainsi que les traces GPX et Komoot sont disponibles dans le Welcome Book mis à votre disposition dans le lodge.
Savor the local produce
Lodge Story is located on the border of the municipalities of Lens and Silly, both committed to the Slow Food movement, which promotes local, sustainable food that respects producers.
This richness is naturally reflected in the many artisans, farms, breweries, and producers that bring the region to life. Many of their products are even included in the breakfast baskets offered at the lodge.
In our Welcome Book, you will also find a selection of our favorite places: restaurants, bars , local shops, producers and little gems that we like to share with our visitors.
Between nature and heritage
The region is also full of must-see sites to discover.
Of course, Pairi Daiza is just a few minutes from the lodge. But your stay can also be an opportunity to visit the historic cities of Mons or Tournai, stroll through the gardens of Beloeil Castle, discover Enghien Park, or explore the many charming villages that make Hainaut so rich.
Whether you are a fan of culture, history or simply beautiful walks, there are many possibilities just a few kilometers from Lodge Story.
Our favorite places
We have compiled our best recommendations in the lodge's Welcome Book.
