Our neighborhood

Our neighborhood is a great place to live.
Here, we know our neighbors, street barbecues are institutionalized, and aperitifs are impromptu.

We love it and hope you have a great stay!

Situation

The Vennes-Fétinne district is close to the RAVeL and the Chemin de Compostelle, a few minutes from motorway exits and bus lines serving the city centre and the CHU (48).
The Parc de la Boverie, and its beautiful Museum , as well as the Palais des Congrès are 500 meters away via the Passerelle Mativa.
Guillemins Stationis a 25-minute walk through Belle Liégeoise and Parc de la Boverie, a lovely stroll.

You will be close to the city center while enjoying the comfort of a quiet neighborhood with various facilities: small supermarkets, pharmacies, bookstores, park, playgrounds, etc.

Our neighborhood is fortunate to have excellent artisans and some very beautiful boutiques. I think we could even call them real gems!
I can't resist introducing them to you!

The ""nugget"" artisans

Our neighborhood is fortunate to have real artisans who love what they do!
You can taste it and you can know it ;) You can't imagine the number of people who come here.
You're in luck, by staying with us, you're close by!
And since you have a kitchenette in your guest room, you can cook up little dinners in your guest room.

Sam's Bakery .
They opened a few years ago and are already irreplaceable.
Our French customers are amazed at the quality and flavor of their baguettes and pastries, that says it all!
When I told the baker, he was over the moon.
If you have breakfast and they are not on vacation, you will have the chance to taste their products.

Gaspar Butcher Shop
They had been delighting the neighborhood's gourmets for over 30 years. On April 15, 2023, they handed over their business. But the "successful" recipes, the addresses of good producers, ... everything was saved and transmitted.
Try their Americano and their boudins liégeois!
Need a gourmet sandwich made with real meat products?
A word of advice: avoid lunchtime! The Liège police station is right next door, and when you see the queue, you'll realize you'll have to be patient!

Wine?

See you at Vive le Vin !

Since 2008, Sabine and Philippe have been delighting us with their discoveries.
You arrive, you explain your dish, and they recommend a wine. The same applies if you go to a friend's house.
Their wines are mostly environmentally friendly, from independent winemakers, and the choice of very good restaurants, …
For several years, Sylvie has been helping them in the store.

Fancy some cheese?

Our neighborhood has not one but two cheese shops. Obviously, they each have their fans ;)

First of all, at Linda's, the Le Clos du Gourmet cheese shop.
Linda perfectly ages her cheeses, delighting top chefs, including Michelin-starred chefs. Here, you're sure to find a cheese that's perfectly aged, refined, and truly delicious.
She still received the title of 3rd best cheesemaker in Belgium in 2022, no less!

Then, the Fromagerie des Vennes .
A local cheese shop with a friendly, local atmosphere. A good wine library of Côtes du Rhône wines (the owner is part of the Baronnies des Côtes du Rhône).

If, like me, you love ice cream, you will love Gabilou !

Gabilou is a family affair. Cédric makes the ice cream, Cendrine is behind the counter.
Here, only local, artisanal, good products... Everything is super good, the pellets are offered to children of all ages.

I confess my guilty pleasure is their straciatella! Clément and Blaise love the mango-passion fruit sorbet.

The unclassifiable gem : Mère Berthe !

It's impossible to introduce you to the neighborhood without telling you about this true institution!
Here you can buy delicious homemade fries, as well as homemade fricandelle. Yes, you read that right.
But La Mère Berthe isn't just a chip shop; it's also a catering service offering homemade dishes, salads, delicious sandwiches, and a delicatessen. You'll find plenty of delicious dishes to prepare a nice dinner in our guesthouse ;)

The ""gem"" shops

Our neighborhood also has some very nice shops.

Close to Sam's, you'll find an inspiring boutique: Slow Now.
Here, we take the time to sit down and drink a coffee or tea, to choose natural products or objects chosen for their ethical or sustainable nature or to participate in workshops.
Be careful, if you go in, it is very difficult to come out empty-handed!

And when you go to get your ice cream from Gabilou, you will pass 100% Liégeois and THE florist in the Viridi district.
 

100% Liège . Enough to bring some "Liège into your life" according to their own slogan. Here, all the products come from the province of Liège. And the province of Liège is full of good things: cheeses, beers, jams, syrups, wines, ... You can't imagine all the delicacies you can discover there!

Our florist: VIRIDI .

A magnificent shop! Beautiful flowers, exquisite arrangements, tasteful decor, humor, kindness, etc.
Since it opened, the neighborhood has been blooming with interiors.
