CHALET DES RAPIDES
MTB & OUTDOOR
Your ultimate (MTB) escape in the heart
of the French Ardennes starts here!
We are Maaike and Marc. Dutch/French couple living in the Netherlands.
We are passionate about mountain biking, hiking, and starting new projects to help us live our passion.
Before getting the chalet we built a camper van to travel through Europe with our mountain bikes. This picture was taken during the trip on top of the Bobotov Kuk in Montenegro.
With now two kids and a labrador, the van is not the best way to enjoy our hobbies anymore and we got the incredible opportunity to acquire this beautiful chalet in the middle of the French Ardennes. After spending many weekends renovating it, it is now ready for all mountainbike and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy!
"There are so many mountain bike trails to discover. You'll need more than four days for that!"

''We spent the weekend at Maaike & Marc’s place and absolutely loved it. The chalet has everything you need and instantly feels like home. The stunning and peaceful location, with beautiful views of the river, made it even more special. We enjoyed several hikes that we could easily start and finish right from the chalet — ideal! Thank you for sharing your little oasis with us.''

''The chalet was really a place to relax and unwind. We lacked nothing in the cottage & everything was clean. We sat for hours enjoying the beautiful view! And there were beautiful hiking trails nearby! Really enjoyed it.''
