About ourselves

We are Christine (1972) and Max (1971), and since October 2024, we have been the proud owners of the chambres et table d’hôtes A l’Epoque. After spending our working lives in the Netherlands, our big dream has come true: to create a place in France where guests can truly unwind.

For us, A l’Epoque is a place where you can slow down. We love simplicity combined with quality: a warm welcome, a quiet room, a comfortable bed, and a delicious breakfast in the morning. During the day, you can explore the region at your own pace, and in the evening, if you’d like, you’re welcome to join us for a cozy meal.

What we care about:

  • Tranquility & respect for privacy
  • Clear communication so you feel comfortable right away
  • Little touches that make your stay just that little bit warmer
  • Personalized local tips—we’re happy to share our favorite spots in the area

About our house

Our bed and breakfast is located in a charming 18th-century farmhouse that once housed a goat barn, and has been in operation since 1998 under various owners. The house sits on a spacious property of more than 2,500 m² and exudes tranquility, space, and history.
