Athena Le Perron 2.0
A breath of fresh air in our Ardennes campsite
Good news: Athena Le Perron remains a fixture and will have renovated plumbing by next season. Bright future plans are also forming.
We recently applied for a new camping and environmental permit - the Permis Unique - from the Walloon government. Such a dossier is reviewed every twenty years and immediately means a thorough check-up of the entire site: from fire safety and drainage to structures and future plans.
Le Perron passed this test with flying colors. Only a few points needed to be addressed. That has since been done.
Next step: renovation of plumbing
Meanwhile, we're not staying idle. This winter, the sanitary building at the top of the campsite is getting a complete makeover. Not only technically, also in terms of appearance.
This is coming soon:
- a modern shower room and toilets
- a compact winter section that can be closed separately
- outdoor showers overlooking the valley - an extra fine experience!
The renovation of the plumbing is our first, concrete step toward a more modern and comfortable Le Perron.
A campground that continues to grow
In recent years we have already made improvements, such as the new playground that was installed this spring and immediately proved to be a success. Both children and (grand)parents visibly enjoy it.
In the longer term, in addition to the sanitary facilities, we also want to give the other buildings and spaces a contemporary, Ardennes look. This will make Athena Le Perron more than ever a warm and authentic place where naturism and the natural environment merge in beauty.
Our long-term vision
The Permis Unique is not just an administrative formality, it is also the time to outline a vision for the future. For example, we included the Wraphouses and the Klapkot project in this dossier. This means that, in time, we can provide modern and pleasant outdoor accommodations - for rental and for members who want to create their own place.
Important to emphasize: this is a long-term plan and requires a solid investment. So it may be a few years before we can offer new rental accommodation. But it is already a wonderful prospect: more comfort, a longer rental period and possibilities to receive guests outside the summer season as well.
Together to a bright future
Athena Le Perron is already a gem. It is often full in the summer and guests praise its unique location - close to home and yet completely away. With today's investments and tomorrow's plans, we want to not only maintain that success, but also extend it to the other seasons.
