La Roseraie  

Tucked into a landscaped rose garden on the outskirts of Tournai, this 5-star bed & breakfast sits about 9 km from the city center and is a short drive from Lille. Nearby highlights include Jean Stablinski Indoor Velodrome, La Piscine Museum, Lille Grand Palais and Henri Matisse Park.

An old mansion set in a park-like garden with roses, maples and boxwood hedges. Only two guest rooms, refurbished in 2013, with quality bedding and private bathrooms. In-season rooms may feature fresh bouquets from the garden. The property also keeps donkeys, sheep, geese and chickens across the meadow for a bucolic vibe.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool with a view, unwind in the sauna or lounge on the sun terrace and picnic area. Free bikes are available for exploring the grounds and nearby towns. There’s an on-site coffee shop for easy mornings.

Free Wi‑Fi is available in rooms and public areas. Secure private parking is provided on site, and an elevator improves accessibility for guests with mobility needs.

Gourmet breakfasts are served in the dining room or out in the garden when the weather allows. Expect homemade breads and jams, honey, cheeses, cold cuts, hot drinks and fresh fruit juices. A restaurant is also available on the property for local flavors.
