Ferme du Vert

Delightful logis close to Calais

As soon as you enter the spacious courtyard of this characterful farmhouse on the edge of Wierre Effroy, you know you have arrived at a special place. Just 17 miles from Calais, yet situated in attractive rolling countryside, you feel in the heart of France at this truly individual logis. Bedrooms, fashioned from the farm buildings, are all different shapes and sizes. Our favourites are in the old hay loft, while those with bath (supplement payable) are the largest. You receive a warm welcome from the Bernard family, and 3-course dinners of refined country cooking in the intimate restaurant. Choose from dishes such as marinated duck on a bed of salad or veal in a mustard sauce. There is a comfortable lounge with bar in which to relax.

Around and about

• Boulogne, with its attractive Haute Ville, superb ramparts and informative aquarium
• the historic walled town of Montreuil
• 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
• the idyllic Course valley and its pretty villages
• the battlefields of Agincourt and Crécy
• towns in Belgian Flanders such as Veurne and Ypres
• the Belgian city of Ghent, every bit as beautiful as Bruges yet much quieter
• gardens such as the Jardins de Maizicourt and the Jardins de Valloire (we give full details about all the gardens worth visiting in Picardy in our documentation)
• follow one of our two driving tours. Both itineraries take in a variety of different places of interest, from World War I memorial sites to the 'cité souterraine' at Naours, and pass through pretty villages and picturesque valleys

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.
