We are Daphné & my young family, passionate about authentic hospitality and meaningful experiences. Since taking over Château de l’Aviette in January 2023, we have been lovingly restoring this charming estate with the help of our family, always striving to create a welcoming and comfortable retreat for our guests. Our dream is to preserve the château’s historic charm while enhancing modern comforts, making every stay memorable. We love sharing our knowledge of the French Ardennes, whether it’s recommending the best cycling routes, cozy spots to unwind, or must-see cultural sites. Hosting at Château de l’Aviette isn’t just about providing accommodation—it’s about creating connections and offering a home away from home. Whether you’re here for relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, we’re always happy to help you make the most of your stay.
