The summer inn
The hostel project was born of the desire to create a simple, temporary accommodation space in the farm's beautiful main building. Anyone already inspired by the Arbre, or simply curious to experience life more closely in a place of emergence, or needing a timeless moment in the countryside and to visit Walloon Brabant is welcome to stay here. Whether you're on your own, with family, or with friends, the Arbre summer hostel welcomes you with open arms, for a short (minimum 2 days) or long (up to 2 months) stay.
Practical info:
- the inn is located in the main building, the most beautiful building on the farm
- 6 rooms and 22 beds available, including 4 shared rooms and 2 private rooms
- a site where you can install your tent and enjoy the Summer Inn experience at a reduced rate
- several communal areas (indoors and outdoors) to share convivial moments with travelers, residents, and the Arbre ecosystem
- a package that includes breakfast and lunch from Monday to Friday and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays
Activities on the farm this summer :
If you wish, you can take part in the farm's regular activities (visits, market gardening, crèche, etc.) or a special activity. The activities are listed on the board in the hostel hall.
Recurring weekly activities:
- From Monday to Sunday, we prepare lunches or brunches together, which are great moments for conversation and conviviality;
- once a week, a guided tour of the farm and presentation of the Arbre qui pousse project;
- On Wednesday afternoons, Manu, our market gardener, is happy to help out in the fields, and on several days of the week, Anne-Sylvie welcomes volunteers to hoe, harvest or process her dye plants;
- On Fridays, there's a ‘brigade du beau’, a time for various shared projects with Sébastien and Pierre;
- Every Friday afternoon, it's market time at l'Arbre qui pousse, a chance to get behind the counter and become a barman or barmaid if you like, or just enjoy the great energy of the moment;
- The first Friday of the month is a ‘festive market’, which often means there will be a live band playing;
- Saturday mornings are often ‘vegetable garden mornings’ for residents and anyone else who wishes to do some gardening.
Special Activities
- There are regular game nights, a food processing workshop, a pétanque tournament, music or movie nights, a writing workshop, a free dance night, a bonfire, or just nothing—or maybe one of your suggestions?
- Some special activities may require a contribution to costs, or a conscious participation (e.g. the free dance evening in the barn or the food processing workshop).
