In May 2018 Pairi Daiza received the prize for “Best animal park in Europe” at the presentation of the Diamond Theme Park Awards, also known as the Oscars of the theme parks and zoos. The photo shows Restaurant The Izba. Izba (изба) means in Russian: wooden house in the countryside. The Izba in Pairi Daiza is inspired by traditional Russian architecture, with its roof tiles and domes, which are also made entirely of wood! It is an immense restaurant (1.100 m² covered and a terrace of 400 m²) with a cosy atmosphere and the decoration refers to fairy tales and legends from Russian folklore. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6206507/5678c679-6f7a-44ad-92b1-9ae3228d31d8.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Paira Daiza 36 min drive \- 23.2 miles - ![Brussels_AvenueLouise_6192773_04](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6192773/66b2dbf1-3588-4789-9eab-1bf86d354839.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Avenue Louise 37 min drive \- 24.9 miles - ![La Grand Place](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/508252/2a43aa2a-e706-4dd6-978a-6361557e929e.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) La Grand Place 39 min drive \- 25.2 miles - ![Atomium showing art](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6070941/a464cd04-4e22-4539-81d7-6b14da43b978.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Atomium 40 min drive \- 31.5 miles - La Chapelle de Verre de Fauquez 3 min drive \- 1.3 miles ### Getting around - Hennuyeres Station 10 min drive - Charleroi (CRL-Brussels South Charleroi) 22 min drive ### Restaurants - L'Estaminet 8 min drive - La Tour Glacée 5 min walk - Le Relais 6 min drive - Cafe Du Stade 11 min drive - Taverne De L'hotel De Ville 6 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Atypical accommodation on a barge pet-friendly? ### How much does it cost to stay at Atypical accommodation on a barge? ### How much is parking at Atypical accommodation on a barge? ### What time is check-in at Atypical accommodation on a barge? ### What time is check-out at Atypical accommodation on a barge? ### Where is Atypical accommodation on a barge located? ## Have a question?

C’est un lieu où l’on a du mal à repartir tellement on s’y sent comme chez soi. Étant nous mêmes du monde fluvial, avec notre bateau de plaisance, nous connaissions cet endroit situé au pied du plan incliné de Ronquières, également proche de l’ascenseur de Strépy et de l’ancien canal du Centre avec ses quatre ascenseurs historiques , c’est l’endroit rêvé pour les amoureux de l’eau et des bateaux. Facile d’accès, situé en plein cœur de la Belgique, proche de Waterloo et de Bruxelles, endroit stratégique et cadre insolite pour faire des escapades dans tous les lieux touristiques belges, à la journée. L’accueil très sympathique de Pierre et de sa femme n’arrange rien, d’autant plus lorsque l’on prend l’apéro avec leur famille en terrasse, à bord, dans ce lieu apaisant et dépaysant. On s’y sent comme en famille ! Le logement est spacieux, chaleureux, original, confortable, très bien équipé. Rien ne manque ! Vous nous manquez déjà…. Nous reviendrons rapidement , c’est certain ! ##### Christophe D.
