Château de Freÿr (Belgium)    

Under the initiative of Mr. et Mrs. Axel Bonaert and "the friends of the château", La Roche Courbon is twinned with the château de Freÿr on Meuse, near Dinant in Belgium.

 

 
 

The most fascinating natural site in Belgium welcomes an exceptional heritage, similar to that of Versailles (16th to 18th century). Here you can appreciate the harmony of the interior and the authentic furnishing of the Ducs de Beaufort-Spontin. You will be moved by the traces left by history (royal hosts, the Coffee Treaty of 1675) and the accounts of twenty generations.

The intimate gardens (17th and 18th century) descend by terrace until one reaches the peaceful Meuse. The murmur of the fountains, the perfume of three hundred old orange trees and the grandiose panorama will bewitch you. The labyrinths of arbors (6  km) will reveal their mystery one by one. The refined decor of the Rococo pavilion will seduce you. You will be astonished by the elegant simplicity of the oldest orange trees in the Netherlands.
