Packages and events
Cycling weekend package
What could be better than two or three days of cycling in the great outdoors? We’ve created a package for an unforgettable experience, capturing the true Ardennes spirit in the setting of 'La Doyenne.' It’s also ideal for cycling teams.
Available year-round with overnight stays on Friday and Saturday, and optionally Sunday.
Included:
- A pasta dish with local beer on Friday evening, a regional menu or barbecue on Saturday evening.
- A hearty and delicious breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and a packed lunch on Saturday if desired.
- Three of our favorite cycling routes, available for both trained cyclists and cycling enthusiasts. Routes towards Spa and the High Fens, towards Stavelot and Trois Points, to Durbuy, or to Liège, ... . Includes recommendations for great stops at cycling terraces, coffee bars, or local breweries.
- A cozy, home-like atmosphere for relaxing after cycling: a warm shower, a panoramic sun terrace, a fire pit in winter, artisanal coffee and hot chocolate, an honesty bar with local beers or wine, a large living room with board games, a library full of cycling and travel books, and great stories from other guests.
- A secure, locked bike storage area with repair tools and a garden hose. Washing machine and dryer available.
- (Ideal to combine with a visit to the Thermes of Spa on Sunday afternoon).
Can be booked as an add-on with the room. Price = room price + cycling weekend add-on (100 euros pp).
Breakfast, lunch and/or dinner
Food tastes twice as good during a day of cycling or hiking, and cycling and hiking feel twice as rewarding with the prospect of good food.
- Prepare for an active day with a hearty and delicious breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings (14 euro/pp/night).
- Take a tasty packed lunch for your Saturday adventure, with recommendations for breathtaking picnic spots (13 euro/pp).
- After an intense day outdoors, come home to a warm shower, kick off your shoes, and relax. On Friday evening, enjoy a pasta dish with a local beer (24 euro pp), and on Saturday evening a regional menu or a barbecue (35 euro pp). Feel free to hang out at the honesty bar.
Can be booked as add-ons with the room. Price = room price + add-ons.

Coming soon: bikepacking event
The owners of La Maison Vienvenue and their friends are true bikepacking enthusiasts, with 10,000s km under their belts across almost every European country. We want to share these experiences with you during a bikepacking weekend!
What’s on the agenda?
Friday evening:
- Welcome dinner at La Maison Vienvenue.
- Bikepacking gear: from old but handy to fancy yet often less practical. We’ll share the pros and cons and let you test it all.
- Amazing stories. What were the best moments, and what were the worst? How can you avoid the latter or at least make them less bad?
- Overnight stay at La Maison Vienvenue.
Saturday:
- Departure early in the morning, packed and ready. We’ll distribute the luggage so that even those without their own gear don’t have to sleep under the stars.
- The route covers about 110 km of asphalt, gravel, and grass heading southeast towards the Ardennes and the High Fens.
- In the evening, we’ll set up camp, light a fire, cook, and unwind. Sleeping never feels as good as after a grueling day of cycling.
Sunday:
- A 90 km ride back towards La Maison Vienvenue, but not without a coffee on the terrace of our favorite cyclists bar.
- Upon returning, we’ll rinse off the sand with one last shower and hope that the bikepacking bug has bitten you!
Date to be determined, but be sure to let us know if you're interested via the contact form.
