Le Clos Xavianne | Bed & Breakfast in Ribecourt-la-Tour, Hauts-de-France

“This was our fourth visit and, as always, Xavier was a charming host. Breakfast is delicious with fresh French bread, butter and a selection of homemade jams, served with fresh orange juice and choices of coffee or tea. The quince is particularly delicious!”

“Lovely simple B&B in a farm in a quiet village near Cambrai. An hour and a half from Calais. Xavier is a delightful host, room is quiet and comfortable and continental breakfast is made special with the most delicious homemade jams. ”

“Warm welcome from Xavier; lovely French rural setting close to A26.”

“Lovely little place with a great host, absolutely a must stay”

“I stayed a week at Le Clos Xavianne, using it as a base to explore WWI battlefields. Xavier was the perfect host. He helped me enjoy my week in Ribécourt-La-Tour in so many ways. Examples: He let me drive his tractor, he did my laundry, he drove me to see WWI sights nearby, his B&B is clean and comfortable, his homemade jam is to die for, he patiently spoke French with me. I could go on but suffice it to say that I had a very good time at Le Clos Xavianne. ”

“A stopover B&B on our way south. Very well finished and spacious room. The host was very friendly and helpful. ”

“What a beautiful place to stay at. Our host Xavier was an absolute pleasure with a lovely sense of humour. In short, the hotel is worth every single penny. It is located in a beautiful, gated court yard and there was nothing we could fault about the accommodation, cleanliness, service or amenities. Ribecourt-la-Tour is a village steeped in the history of WW1 and you are reminded about it everywhere (Xavier has even unearthed shells and parts of tanks in his fields). I am torn about recommending this beautiful hotel as I want to keep it a secret for my next visit but that would be doing Xavier a disservice!”

“A wonderful B&B in a charming village, with a helpful and friendly owner - thank you for a pleasant stay. Although we only stayed overnight on our run from Alsace to Calais the welcome we received and the comfortable room (and rainfall shower) we're just what we needed after our previous 7 nights in the campervan. After booking to stay here I found that the village had been central in the battle of Cambrai in WW1 and there was a British war cemetery half a mile from the B&B. The cemetery is impeccably maintained, but probably doesn't see many visitors so I made a point of visiting and laying some of the wild poppies that grow along the road. There is also a second cemetery (The Railway Cemetery) a similar distance in the opposite direction. We would definitely stay here again on our way either to or from Calais (about 1.5h drive).”

“Lovely place to stay, close to Cambrai - peaceful, beautiful and the nicest host in Xavier. Room was immaculate, spacious and clean. Breakfast was as awesome as our host, Xavier who was kind and genial. We loved his ‘orchestra’ of watering cans. Hope to return.”

“I was feeling quite poorly but Xavier was an excellent host and it was good to find a warm and comfy room. ”
