Our cottage

Notre cottage Agathon 's sweet home

General Deligne's cottage

The son of a farmer, he was born in Houchin and lived there with his family. His vocation came to fruition at St Cyr, where he met General De Gaulle. A private at the age of 21, he rose through the ranks through his acts of bravery. In 1940, he received his 14th commendation. After the Liberation, he became commander of the 2nd military region in Lille, then Inspector General before retiring to his native village. The village elders remember him as a valiant fighter and a just man. They acknowledge his courage and humility.

Come and stay in the former home of General Deligne, which we have decorated to a very high standard. Enjoy an aperitif around the brazier or spend some quality time with the family, watching the sheep or taking advantage of the many activities available in the surrounding area.
