MAISON

the great JOURNEY of Maison Sans Souci

200 km as the crow flies

While some families decide to travel around the world, we chose a slightly more… reasonable adventure: moving to the Netherlands for one year.

crow? which crow?

We are looking for a place to live in the Netherlands for one year.
Starting in August 2026 — and maybe you can help us...

Whereto?

The Netherlands… but not just anywhere

For a few years now, we’ve been making little trips across the country for weekends and work.
So we already have a few cities in mind where we could imagine living...
Our current top 3: The Hague - Haarlem - Amsterdam. (But nothing is set in stone.)

Eating herring
Going everywhere by bike
Swimming all year round
Skating
on the pier

That said, we also like being surprised. Life sometimes has different plans for the great adventurers that we are... And maybe you also have a surprise for us: a housing opportunity in another lovely city? We’re open to all kinds of great opportunities.

FYI — At the same time, we are renting out our beloved house in Belgium. It is located in Ixelles, in one of Brussels’ nicest neighbourhoods, only 300m from the European Parliament.

An idea? A suggestion?
