About this place

It's a well-kept secret, but right in the heart of Balen lies a little piece of Provence. When you step inside B&B Tannerie, yousuddenly find yourselfin the south. Thanks to the azure blue swimming pool, the lush and perfectly maintained garden, and the blissful, sizzling silence. This ^19th-centurymansion, a heritage building, has always been a place with allure and a link to la douce France. The French builder ended up in Balen as a government envoy, became Belgian after independence, and ran a tannery or tannerie from his home. Later, a doctor, a fashion designer, and the mayor of Balen lived here in succession. In 2019, Guy and Kim, together with their flock of white-headed sheep, took the plunge. It was unplanned, but when you fall in love, you have to follow your heart. The house was completely renovated, but the many authentic elements were carefully preserved. So, no tabula rasa, but hidden comforting touches. And so you can admire the paneling of yesteryear and feel like a doctor, mayor, or fashionista from Brussels for a moment. In the garden, there are two brand-new rooms. Den Badmeester opens onto the swimming pool, while Den Hovenier lets you enjoy all that greenery. Some rooms have a private terrace, and the extensive garden offers plenty of places to relax. Add a glass of pastis and your Provence happiness is complete.
