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.
