La Ferme du parc

Logis des Champs: sleep on a farm and take the time to live 🏡

This is probably the world that visitors to gitesalaferme.be already know best… but it now has a name and an identity of its own: Logis des Champs .

To mark the launch of our new website fermeduparc.be and the new visual identity of La Ferme du Parc, our accommodations are also joining one of the four main worlds of the farm.

Welcome to Logis des Champs .

Two cottages in the heart of an estate steeped in history

La Ferme du Parc is a historic estate that has been in operation for over 300 years.

It is in some of its former annexes that we have gradually converted our two gîtes: Le Fournil and Les 3 Petits Cochons .

The principle has remained the same since their creation: to preserve as much as possible the character of the place while offering the comfort and independence necessary to fully enjoy one's stay.

Our two accommodations thus have their own access and allow you to live at the pace of the countryside while maintaining your privacy.

Le Fournil can accommodate up to five people while Les 3 Petits Cochons is designed for two people.

Much more than just a night in the countryside

Choosing a cottage at La Ferme du Parc also means choosing a vibrant place.

Around you, the farm continues its activity. The animals are there, the seasons transform the landscapes, and various activities punctuate the year.

So you can choose to do nothing — and sometimes that's exactly what you need — or take advantage of your stay to discover more about the farm and its region.

Pairi Daiza is only about ten minutes away and Mons is about 15 kilometers away, also making the farm a particularly convenient starting point for exploring Hainaut.

A new identity, but the same story

The name Logis des Champs now clearly identifies the accommodation section of La Ferme du Parc.

He joinsLes P'tits Semis, La Ferme en Herbe and L'Agora Champêtre under the new general identity of La Ferme du Parc.

Four logos, four universes… but only one place.

An area that we continue to develop while preserving what has made it unique all these years: nature, heritage, authenticity and conviviality.

And this evolution can now also be discovered online!

The Agora Champêtre : a different kind of gathering, surrounded by nature 🌿

What if, for your next meeting, training session or team day, you left the office for a few hours?

With L'Agora Champêtre , La Ferme du Parc affirms another face of its activity: that of a place where companies can meet, reflect, work and share in an environment totally different from everyday professional life.

This new universe is one of the four identities that we are unveiling on the occasion of the redesign of our image and the launch of our new website fermeduparc.be .

Meetings held in the heart of a working farm

Located in the Hainaut countryside, near Mons, Ath and Soignies, La Ferme du Parc offers spaces for organizing meetings, training sessions, seminars, reflection days, team building and professional events .

The Agora Champêtre now brings together all these possibilities.

Why this name?

Because the agora is historically a place where people meet and exchange ideas.

Add to that the rural character of La Ferme du Parc and you get exactly the spirit we want to create: a place where you can work seriously without necessarily staying locked up between four walls all day.

Taking a step back to move forward more effectively

Changing the environment can completely alter the dynamics of a team.

At the farm, a break can turn into a walk. A team-building activity can take place outdoors. A discussion can continue over coffee with the countryside as a backdrop.

Our spaces, including the Stable room and the Grain Granary , allow us to imagine different formulas depending on the number of participants and the objective of the day.

And why not extend the experiment?

This is also where the different worlds of La Ferme du Parc meet.

For certain professional projects, it is possible to combine a workday with an overnight stay at our Le Fournil gîtes.and The Three Little Pigs .

A particularly pleasant solution for truly taking the time to reconnect with oneself.

It is with great pride that we announce that our gîte "Le Fournil" in Montignies-Lez-Lens has once again obtained the international Green Key certification for the year 2025 !

This recognition, awarded by the independent organization Green Key , highlights the environmental excellence and sustainable management of our tourist establishment. It recognizes our long-standing commitment to combining comfort, nature, and respect for the environment—a philosophy that has guided our family for generations.

🌾 A farm steeped in history, a welcome focused on tomorrow

Located in the heart of Hainaut, a stone's throw from Pairi Daiza and Mons , our three-hundred-year-old farm has evolved with the times while remaining faithful to its values. Since 2008, we have opened our doors to visitors by transforming part of the farm into characterful gîtes : Le Fournil and Les 3 Petits Cochons .

These carefully renovated accommodations combine rural charm and modern comfort, all in a green setting where it is good to reconnect with nature.

🌍 A lasting commitment on a daily basis

Obtaining the Green Key label is not achieved through a simple application. It is the result of rigorous and ongoing work on several aspects:

• Energy and water management ,
• Waste reduction ,
• The use of ecological cleaning products ,
• Particular attention to local biodiversity ,
• And active involvement in raising visitors' awareness of eco-responsible actions.

This approach is fully in line with our desire to offer rural and authentic tourism , which respects both our planet and the rhythm of life on the farm.

🍀 Staying with us is a conscious choice

By choosing the Gîtes de la Ferme du Parc, you are opting for much more than just accommodation:
💚 You support a sustainable agricultural and tourism model.
💚 You are participating in the preservation of our rural heritage.
💚 You offer your loved ones an immersive and revitalizing experience , surrounded by animals and nature.

✨ Thank you for your trust!

This recognition would not have been possible without you. With each stay, with each word of support, you strengthen our motivation to continue this lasting, human, and sincere adventure.

We look forward to seeing you in 2025 to (re)discover our Green Key certified gîtes, share a moment of calm on the farm... and why not come across the pigs, goats, horses or geese that make the heart of our estate beat 🐴🐐🐖

Water quality at the La Ferme du Parc

Because your comfort and safety are important, we inform you about the quality of the water distributed in our municipality. The SWDE (Société Wallonne des Eaux) laboratory ensures regular monitoring thanks to numerous analyses carried out each month.

Main results of water analysis

💧 Water hardness

Water hardness corresponds to its calcium and magnesium content. It is expressed in French degrees (°f).

• Very mild : 0 to 7 °f
• Mild : 7 to 15°f
• Medium hard : 15 to 30 °f
• Hardness : 30 to 42 °f
• Very hard : > 42 °f

👉 The water in our cottages has a hardness of 44.05 °f , so it is considered very hard .

Good to know : Very hard water does not present no health risk . However, it can promote the deposit of limescale in pipes and household appliances (coffee maker, dishwasher, etc.). Regular maintenance is therefore recommended.

🌡️ Acidity (pH)

The pH of water determines whether it is acidic, neutral or basic:

• Acid : < 6.5
• Neutral : around 7
• Basic : > 7.5

👉 The pH of the water in our cottages is 7.35 , which means it is neutral .

SWDE ensures that the pH of the water distributed is between 6.5 and 9.5 to guarantee the quality and preservation of the pipes.

Mineral composition of water

Among the hundred parameters controlled by the SWDE, here are the main values recorded for the minerals present in the water of our lodgings (values expressed in mg/l):

This information allows you to better understand the composition of the water you consume, comparable to the information found on bottled water labels.

Dear friends, dear customers,

It is with great sadness that I announce the sudden death of Vincent, my husband and "Mr. Farmer," which occurred this past Wednesday, July 3, following a massive heart attack.

Vincent, a passionate and dedicated farmer, leaves behind not only his love for the land but also a grieving family.

He was a loving husband, an extraordinary father to our two children, Lucas and Marion, a loyal friend to many of you, and a lover of animals, especially his own, whom he cherished so much.

His smile and his many jokes, like the water pistol joke to the question "What does the cow drink?", will be deeply missed.

Despite this ordeal, I know he would have wanted life on the farm to continue. I can therefore confirm that our diversification activities, such as welcoming guests to our two farm cottages, are continuing.

Our entire teaching team, dedicated and passionate, will be present in large numbers to guarantee a quality welcome and activities as usual.

We will continue to share the love of the farm and animals, as Vincent wished.

Our hearts are broken by this sudden and painful loss.

Thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult times.

Marie-Julie and family

Each year, the transition to a new year is an occasion for joyful celebrations.

However, it is crucial to consider everyone's safety during these festivities.

As we approach 2024, we strongly encourage the adoption of responsible alternatives to traditional fireworks, given the many associated risks.

Risks of fireworks:

• Personal Safety: Fireworks can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly.
• Environment: Debris from fireworks can contaminate the environment, harming flora and fauna.
• Fires: Accidental fires caused by fireworks can endanger lives and cause significant property damage.
• Stress to Animals: Sudden loud noises from fireworks can cause significant stress to farm animals such as horses and cows.
  This stress can have negative consequences on their overall well-being, affecting their health and production.
  

Responsible Alternatives:

• Decorative lights: Opt for string lights and decorative lights to create a festive atmosphere without the risks associated with fireworks.
• Community Events: Participate in responsibly organized community events, such as professionally controlled bonfires.
• Laser Shows: Laser shows can provide an impressive visual experience without the fire and safety risks associated with fireworks.
• Campfires: Host safe campfires to enjoy the warmth and ambiance while minimizing risk.

By choosing responsible alternatives, we can all help create a festive environment without compromising everyone's safety. Let's celebrate the new year thoughtfully and inclusively.
