The cottage
History
Born in 1857 in the small village of Baâlons, between La Bascule and Le Chesne, Eugène Houssière began as a butcher in Vendresse. But very quickly he accumulated money problems. He then embarked on an crazy gamble: with his whole family, in particular his brother-in-law Arthur Latreille, who was also in debt and came from the village of Les Alleux, they set sail for America.
From New York, the Ardennes tribe traveled to southern Louisiana, where a large French-speaking population lived. The two men threw themselves wholeheartedly into drilling, so that in 1901, near the town of Jennings, from one of their very first oil wells the precious black gold gushed out. The field was named the Jennings Oil Field.

An ecological and
local renovation
Sustainable development was the guiding principle in the renovation of this estate. Ecological solutions were selected and installed with the utmost respect for the conservation of the structure and overall aesthetics.
The work was carried out with the expertise and know-how of Ardennes craftsmen, an obvious choice and a certain pride in being able to contribute to the development of local expertise and the preservation of the region’s historical heritage.
