The Barn - Farmstay

We are located 15 minutes inland from the Opal Coast. The vacation rentals are accessible by car, thanks to the nearby highway. It’s also possible to arrive by train. The Marquise/Rinxent train station is a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute bike ride away. Of course, in addition to parking spaces, we provide a place to store your bikes.

We are located in a traditional farmhouse typical of the Boulogne region. The farm complex includes an inner courtyard, residential buildings, guesthouses, and farm buildings—including the storage shed and the future kitchen (for the cannery).

Set on 2 hectares of pastures and orchards, we’re fortunate to still have beautiful hedgerows and a well-preserved wood. We’re committed to promoting and protecting biodiversity here. We’ve planted new food hedges, created a pond, and set up beehives… Here, if you’re lucky, you might spot deer, hares, squirrels, hedgehogs… and a wide variety of diurnal and nocturnal birds.

We are located in the heart of the Caps et Marais d'Opale Regional Nature Park. We are equidistant from Cap Blanc Nez and Cap Griz Nez—designated a “Grand Site de France”—and from all the beaches that stretch between them. The inland area features a relatively sheltered bocage landscape with beautiful open spaces and rich soil, offering a variety of local products to savor.

You can therefore enjoy the pleasures of the wide-open coastal spaces in any weather, including fresh seafood, as Boulogne-sur-Mer is France’s leading fishing port.

The historic center of Boulogne-sur-Mer, the many museums dedicated to the war or Calais lace, Europe’s largest aquarium, Nausicaa, and many other sites to discover are all located less than 20 minutes from the cottage.
