  Description

  From the first of April 2024 we started a new project in Achouffe. The Famous Village from the Chouffe beer.
  After 20 years having a Brasserie / restaurant in Houffalize a village nearby , we started a Restaurant, Bar, Lounge, Hotel, activity area, playground for small and big childeren and great big terras with really beautiful panoramic vieuw.
  
  We are both from Holland. Nathalie (Naat) from Amsterdam and Bas from Rotterdam.
  We live here for 20 years. Our daughter is born here also.
  
  The spoken local language is French here but because we have Italian people who work/help us, Spanish people, French people and Dutch people we speak english together so everybody can understand.
  
  We are in the middle of nature on a Hill. And still have a very busy and energetic company. Good and positive energy with willing to learn from both sides, is very important to us.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are in a very small village but many tourist (175.000 per year) . So many social contacts there and our experience is that the people from Workaway combine good with the local people who work here. They learn even some french along the way.
  
  If you come by car you have many posibilities to go to. It makes life a lot easier for you here.
  
  We are at the border of Luxemburg, Germany is 1 hour drive away, the Netherlands is 1,5 hour drive away and France is 1,5 hour away.
  We have many people from work away who explore on their days off.
  
  If you don’t have a car, a local bus (only early in the morning) can bring you to Gouvy train station or liege bus station then from there you can go many ways. You just need to consider the hours then.
  
  After the day most of the time we drink something together to talk about the day, laugh or good conversations about life, ideas, background etc.We love good conversations when there is interest from both sides.
