Drop In, Do Stuff, Leave Happy! (BIKE Magazine)

If you visited us during the past 24 years Iam preaching to the converted, if not read on!
I describe the Ardennes area of Belgium as the Southern Ireland of central Europe, anyone who has experienced the 'craic' will know what I mean. The pace of life is very laid back and no-one takes things too seriously, there is a genuine warmth in a greeting and seldom is something too much trouble. Obviously whilst it goes without saying that we take all measures to organise the weather if you cannot tear yourself away from the weather app and the thought of carrying a wet weather suit fills you dread maybe this is not for you! Please use the link for  a profile and overview of us and our surroundings. Listed below are more 'Moulin du Ruy-sons' to spend time with Ann and I at Ardenne & Eifel Aventures.  

 Moulin du Ruy nestles in the Roanne valley over looked by the Mont de Brumes. The World famous Spa Francorchamps race track is 10 minutes away and there is racing there nearly every weekend throughout the season, use the link to access their calender.

The town which gave its name to 'Spa's' and was the first word in chic in the late 19th century is also a short journey. A new multi million euro hot water Thermes and Spa were opened in Spa in 2004  so you had best bring your cossie to Belgium!

The nearby town of Stavelot has a real cafe atmosphere and beautiful abbey complex which houses museums to both the history of the area and the motorsport heritage.

One of the last great battles of WW2 was the Battle of the Ardennes otherwise known as the 'Battle of the Bulge' and immortalised in the story 'Band of Brothers'. We are surrounded by reminders, memorials, battle scarred tanks etc and have a good selection of local museums dedicated to the conflict and senseless loss of life both civilian and military, use link to check out the notable museums and sites local to us.

ESCORTED TRIPS TO THE NURBURGRING 
As mentioned on Page one we offer all guests the chance to ride out and visit  the Nordscleife in the company of Neil, and if its sunny Ann!  

Neil worked for 25 years as a Motorcycle instructor for various training organisations providing closed circuit events @ The Nurburgring Nordschleife. He retired at the end of 2023.

Since the start of 2024 Motorcycles are no longer allowed on track during Public tourist traffic sessions. A visit to sample the unique atmosphere by motorcycle is a great ride out and if on four wheels the chance to lap is still available and if required I can arrange to provide guidance, knowledge and advice as required.

SPA FRANCORCHAMPS
Universally acclaimed as the greatest circuit still in regular use today, from April through to Nov there is an event almost every weekend, with the premier event being the Formula one race.
I take great pleasure in showing visitors around this catherdral of motorsport whenever possible including tracing out the original 8 1/2 mile circuit. Use the Spa Francorchamps link  to check out the circuit
