On July 5th, 6th, and 7th, 2024, you can enjoy three exceptional days in Finnevaux, in the very village of our rural cottage, which will take you through cultures and music genres.
“Concerts sous les arbres” is a unique event that invites you to discover music and performances from a different perspective. It’s a musical stroll with one of the musicians, Didier Laloy, in Finnevaux (just a stone’s throw from Gîte de Brohimont), where you can listen to artists from around the world in this summer garden and warm winter. In short, it’s a cozy and family-friendly experience in a green environment.
On the program
Performances that will bring you beautiful emotions…
Friday, July 5th
8:00 PM Tricycle Tuur Florizoone on accordion, Philippe Laloy on soprano saxophone, and Vincent Noiret on double bass
Between jazz and world music, Tricycle has created a rich and unique musical universe, sometimes joyful, sometimes profound, and always surprising. This trio of excellent musicians will warmly welcome you to our musical weekend!
9:30 PM Didier Laloy Symphonic After a first series of concerts to celebrate his thirty-year career in symphonic style, Didier couldn’t resist inviting the full orchestra home… On this July 5th, the bursts of strings, brass, percussion, and accordion will make our hearts and the trees of Finnevaux tremble!
On Friday, the site opens at 7:00 PM
Saturday, July 6th,
5:00 PM Perle… when the pearl is at the end of the garden! Perle, a resident of Mesnil-Eglise, offers us a powerful and delicate melo-poetic universe. Absolutely worth discovering!
6:00 PM Open Stage A novelty, we offer a sound-amplified stage for those who want to share a moment with us. We envision 3 times 10 minutes for a solo or duo performance. Pre-registration by email to kodaproductions@gmail.com
6:45 PM Dinner break
8:00 PM GRANDGEORGE From Paris, London, and Brussels, his three beloved cities, singer GRANDGEORGE has taken the best. The natural elegance of the City of Light, the typically English melodic bursts, and the warm simplicity of Brussels are indeed found in the music of this remarkable young man.
We will greatly enjoy his melodies until the end of summer!
9:15 PM Les voix nu pieds choir
9:45 PM MEC YEK An exciting mix of spicy gypsy music with folk, ska, soul & hot jazz, beautifully interpreted by 2 Roma singers and the musicians of Jaune Toujours. That’s the recipe for this Mec Yek band, driven by Piet Maris, who will set our evening under the stars on fire.

Sunday, July 7th
2:30 PM Ardent by Kowari (Ciné-Concert) Because art often helps us better understand the world as it is, or as it was, we offer you a strong immersion in a part of our country’s history through the show Ardent. Mixing live music from the KOWARI group (Louan Kempenaers and Damien Chierici), the voice of actor Merlin Vervaet, and the projection of archival images, Ardent explores the Liège coal basin, from its golden age to its tragic end and the workers’ protests.
3:45 PM The vocal ensembles of ÉDÉA under the direction of Madeleine COLAUX Fifty singers will enchant the garden with an exciting program that combines the great repertoire with light contemporary music.
… And to end in beauty?
5:00 PM Sarah Carlier Singer-songwriter with a warm and enchanting voice, her style is characterized by a gentle mix of folk, pop, and soul, with an openness to world music. And a sunny groove!
Beauty and softness before we quietly leave the garden… until next summer!

We had a fantastic weekend with 10 girlfriends at the Gîte de Brohimont. The house and the view were fantastic. We enjoyed it!

We verbleven een week op Thierry's plek met 6 volwassenen en drie kinderen (5, 3 en 1 jaar oud) en hadden de best mogelijke wintervakantie. De plek is perfect, te beginnen met de locatie, omgeven door bos met een prachtig uitzicht, een ruime open keuken en woonkamer met een open haard en grote eettafel, en een apart gedeelte van het huis verdeeld met een deur is het slaapgedeelte met 5 slaapkamers, elk met een eigen douche en toilet. En een speelkamer op de tweede verdieping. Het huis is goed uitgerust en elegant ingericht en had alles wat we maar konden bedenken, van speciaal servies en stoelen voor de kinderen tot potten en pannen van elke maat, en alle mogelijke kookbenodigdheden die we nodig hadden. En het beste deel is de omgeving, als we de deur uit stapten, waren we in een prachtig bos, en de heuvels, en we konden lange wandelingen maken in het gebied zonder iemand tegen te komen behalve de vogels en het geluid van de wind in de bomen. Zelfs midden in de winter was het prachtig. Perfect! We komen binnenkort terug.

We came as a group of eight, equipped with our bikes, during the first weekend of November. We can only congratulate and thank the hosts, so welcoming, available, and charming! A wonderful place: the silence, the birdsong, the atmosphere, and the scenery of this rare place where you can see so far, where you breathe deeply under the starry sky. The comfort of the rooms, not to mention the multipurpose hall. Best of luck to both of you who are carrying on the family legacy and have so kindly welcomed us into your home, with such simplicity. We loved it
Pascal & Marc
Assured continuation of a touching family history. An incredible place where life is good, with deafening silence! Much happiness with your children and grandchildren.

We arrived only after sunset and although house is amazingly renovated with an excellent taste, the most important thing we saw was in next the morning. View from huge windows from living room is inimitable and very calming. House is located in vast private forest so your kids or pets can enjoy it freely. Inside you will find everything you want, with superbly equipped kitchen if you like to cook like I do, a lot of space to rest and private rooms (+ extra helpful stuff for kids like changing table, books in 3 different languages, toys etc). Last but not least, or maybe an icing on the cake, Host Thierry is very helpful, welcoming and talkative person. I am 100% sure we will go back to this place sooner or later. I am extremely happy I've trusted my gut feelings and will recommend this place to friends.
Thierry & Françoise
Three days of abundant sunshine to fully enjoy this enchanting place, in the heart of such a beautiful region! A big thank you for the welcoming and warm hospitality, and thanks for the great advice on local gastronomy!
Laurence & Yves
Breathtaking view, a simple and warm welcome, we are delighted and ready to come back!
