Boutique Residence & Retreat
Maison La Vesée
Boutique Résidence near Lille, with heated outdoor pool and private spa.
Three five-star apartments, 15 minutes from Lille, in a former northern French farmhouse kept by its owners.
Maison La Vesée takes place in a former northern French farmhouse.
Kept by its owners and renovated with care, the residence today houses three independent apartments, each conceived as a real place to stay: well-handled volumes, complete equipment, well-kept outdoors, and that sense of a home you find neither in a standard rental nor in a classic hotel format.
Nothing here is oversized. Capacity is deliberately capped at eight guests. That is what gives the residence its balance: a right scale, a simple circulation, a measured use of the outdoors, and a quality of stay that owes as much to the atmosphere as to the care given to the details.
Maison La Vesée speaks to those looking for an address near Lille, but at a distance from impersonal formats. A well-kept, lived-in address, clear in its promise, where you come for a pause of a few days or for a more settled stay.
Our three apartments
Three boutique apartments, the same standard.
Nymphéa
Studio · 2 guests · 22 m² · single-level
The most intimate of the three apartments. A studio opening onto its private terrace, for a stay for two in a simple, light-filled and very easy-to-live-in format.
From €95/night

Alpinia
Duplex · 2 guests · 36 m²
A duplex for two, with a real separation between ground floor and upper level. For those who want more than a studio, and the feeling of truly inhabiting the residence for a few days.
From €109/night
Discover
Heliconia
Duplex · 4 guests · 62 m² · 2 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms
The most generous of the three. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a layout designed to preserve each guest's comfort — for a family as for adults.
From €179/night

Wellness · all year round
The private spa, reserved for guests.
The spa rounds out the stay in a quieter, more inward register. Open all year round, it takes over from the pool from October to May. It is booked as a private session and, for that time, is reserved for the two of you alone.
Sauna, jetted spa at 37 °C, tropical shower, lounge area and herbal tea corner make for a moment apart, conceived as an extension of the stay rather than as a stack of equipment.
A session lasts 90 minutes, for two adults: a €100 option on top of the stay, which some offers may include.
Stay with a private spa: session, price, booking
Outdoors · reopening mid-May
A heated pool, terraces, full south.
The heated outdoor pool is open from mid-May to late September; the rest of the year, the spa takes over. South-facing, lined with palm trees and a wooden deck, it gives the residence a singular note in the Lille countryside.
Each apartment has its own private terrace. Each guest also has a dedicated sunbed by the pool.

Over 200 reviews A family holiday in Armentières, Lille, Ypres, Bruges and French villages. Great accommodation, fantastic pool and Sebastien was a friendly, attentive host with excellent recommendations.
Our gite was absolutely perfect. A very modern and comfortable accommodation. The pool area was wonderful and a great space to cool off and relax. The location was peaceful and quiet but still very close to local amenities including some wonderful restaurants and boulangeries. Sebastien was a wonderful host, always available and full of recommendations.

-
Lille
15 to 20 min by car · 12 min by train from Armentières
Capital of French Flanders, a university and cultural city. Vieux-Lille, the Wazemmes market, the Palais des Beaux-Arts. Armentières station means you can get there without a car.
Visit Lille -
Inland Flanders
20 to 30 min by car
Cassel, Bailleul, the Flemish hills, the villages of the Houtland. A little-visited area you can take in over a day — Flemish architecture, local beers, open landscapes.
-
Belgium
Ghent 1 hr · Bruges 1 hr
The border is 20 kilometres away. Ghent and Bruges make day trips, about an hour's drive away. One of the most flexible locations in the region.
-
Saint-Omer and the marshes
50 min by car
A Gothic cathedral, the ruins of Saint-Bertin Abbey, and the Audomarois marshes — a protected nature reserve explored by flat-bottomed boat. Built heritage and a waterscape both rare in the region.
-
Bergues
35 min by car
A fortified town of Flanders with a UNESCO-listed belfry, encircled by Vauban ramparts. The Monday-morning market square, the Mont-de-Piété museum and — since ‘Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis’ — a fame that has not spoilt the place.
-
Béthune
35 min by car
A UNESCO-listed belfry at the centre of the cobbled Grand-Place, façades rebuilt after the war in the regional Art Deco style. Little-known heritage, away from the main tourist flows.
-
Dunkerque
50 min by car
The port, the beach at Malo-les-Bains and its Belle Époque villas, the Operation Dynamo memorial, the FRAC Grand Large. A northern seafront to discover out of season as well as in high summer — not forgetting the carnival, one of the liveliest in France.
-
Arras
45 min by car
The Place des Héros and the baroque Grand-Place, UNESCO-listed, a Flemish belfry, the tunnels of the Wellington Quarry (1914–18 remembrance). A day of history and architecture, an hour from the house.
On arrival, we give you a personal selection — restaurants, markets, lesser-known places — to suit the season and your wishes.
A Boutique Résidence near Lille
A Boutique Résidence is a category of accommodation in its own right. It combines the independence of a fully equipped apartment, the care of a residence kept by its owners, and on-request services.
At Maison La Vesée, you have a whole apartment to yourself — your living room, your kitchen, your private terrace. No shared circulation, no impersonal reception, a naturally limited footfall. A capacity deliberately capped at eight people, which makes calm, measured outdoors and a natural rather than protocol-bound welcome possible.
Refinement is expressed in the tangible quality of the equipment, the consistency of care given to each space, the five-star rating attested by independent inspection, and the availability of on-request services — mid-stay cleaning, private spa session.
A residence at human scale, three five-star apartments, a heated pool in season, an optional private spa, and Lille a few minutes away.
