Auberge de la Forêt

Enjoy good food in a flemish village

La Motte au Bois is a Flemish village, surrounded by magnificent forest, which makes a pleasant base for a weekend of good food and relaxation.

The focal point of this traditional 2-star auberge is the restaurant, popular with locals, and a handsome setting for delicious, well-crafted regional and classic creations such as sautéed leg of lamb with a gâteau of peppers and courgettes, which you choose from the 3-course menu.

Your host, Monsieur Vandroy, offers an excellent wine list for all pockets. There is a sense of tradition throughout the inn and the twelve bedrooms.

• 12 bedrooms • Calais 43 miles

Around and about

• the handsome town of St Omer with its delightful old centre
• the typically Flemish town of Cassel, set on the top of a panoramic hill
• Lille, a vibrant city with plenty going on. The Palais des Beaux Arts is second only to the Louvre
• towns in Belgian Flanders such as Veurne and Ypres
• the Belgian city of Ghent, every bit as beautiful as Bruges yet much quieter
• coastal strolls along the cliffs between Cap Blanc Nez and Cap Gris Nez, from where you can see across the Channel, or along the sandy beaches at Wissant

We provide more detailed information about what to see and do, including suggestions as to where to buy food and wine to take home, in the documentation sent out to you when you book.
