Where Le Nid d'Hirondelles is in Langres
Le Nid d'Hirondelles is a cottage in Langres, on Rue de Saint-Vallier, in Grand Est. Guests describe it as very quiet while still close to town, with its ramparts, small cafés and several shops.
A car is almost essential. The listing mentions Arc-en-Barrois golf course and Dole-Jura Airport, both quite far, and one guest puts the cottage about an hour from Dijon.
| Landmark | Distance or time |
|---|---|
| Centre of Langres | very close, according to guests |
| Arc-en-Barrois golf course | about 36 km |
| Dijon | about an hour, according to one guest |
| Dole-Jura Airport | about 113 km |
What the cottage is like
Le Nid d'Hirondelles is an air-conditioned holiday home with a cosy bedroom and a private bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a shared living room with a flat-screen TV, plus free wifi.
Outside there is a terrace and a private garden. The large garage and private car park are a bonus for those arriving by car, with bikes, fishing or hiking gear. Several guests find the garage very handy.
Reviews add a detail I like: the living room is heated by a wood stove, much appreciated in winter. The bed is described as very comfortable, and the whole place as clean, spacious and well laid out.
What guests highlight
The 4.9 rating on Google is based on 13 reviews, all glowing. Here is what comes up most.
- The host. Described as responsive, attentive and welcoming, with days-out suggestions that several guests enjoyed.
- The calm. The word that keeps coming up, with a neighbourhood that guests find pleasant.
- Cleanliness and equipment. Guests say the cottage lacks nothing and feels good to be in.
- Value for money. One guest rates it very good.
One family who came with two dogs appreciated the fenced garden. Others mention the nearby shopping area, handy for groceries.
What to know before you book
I found no negative reviews, but here is what is worth checking before you book Le Nid d'Hirondelles.
- One bedroom. The listing mentions only one. Some reviews talk about stays with friends or family, so confirm the real sleeping arrangements for your group.
- Bed linen and towels. Available for an extra charge.
- The airport is a long way off, so plan a car journey from wherever you arrive.
Another nuance: with 13 reviews, the sample is modest. It is consistent, but this is not the most reviewed address in the region.
Who it suits and what to do around Langres
I would recommend it to a couple, friends or a small family who want to settle in for several days, cook at home and enjoy the wood stove. Dog owners will find a fenced garden. I would find it less suitable for a large group, since there is only one bedroom.
From the cottage you can visit Langres and its ramparts, head out on the walking trails, or reach the lakes nearby, popular for walking and fishing. To compare with other places in Grand Est, take a look at Résidence Patrice Bruppacher in Beblenheim or Un gîte dans la vallée in Obersteinbach.
