Maison Marie is a summary of everything that makes the Ardennes charming: a house full of character in a green setting just a stone's throw from the centre of Spa with all its attractions.
The sources of Spa
There are seven sources of Spa still accessible to the public. In these springs one can still taste the strongly ferrous water right from the spring. The different sources are scattered around the city centre. There is the Peter the Great spring, which has besides the place where the spring rises also a beautiful winter garden. In this winter garden you can see through painted portraits which famous historical figures have visited the caves over the centuries. All sources have their own beautiful buildings and their own characteristic appearance. Besides that it is beautiful and fun to visit the springs, you can of course taste the healing water directly from the spring.
Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps
The Spa-Francorchamps circuit is considered by many drivers to be the most beautiful circuit in the world.

Every year there are several prestigious races such as the Belgian Grand Prix, the 1000 km, the 24 hours of Spa, the Bikers classic,...
