At a stone’s throw distance from Farm Residence “Soncy” is the village of Groede, picturesque home of artists who have their studios here. Here you can do your daily shopping at the baker’s and the grocer’s, rent a bike, have a drink at the local terrace or stroll the village centre and enjoy the historic atmosphere. Don’t forget to pay a visit to the well-known “The Flemish Heritage” at the Slijkstraat.
In this small museumstreet you go back into yesterday’s world with a hairdresser’s, grocer’s, baker’s, carpenter’s, café, little theatre and so much more. From a culinary point of view Groede is also attractive. There are restaurants in several price-brackets with attractive menus.

The beach

Just outside the village, at about a four kilometers’ distance from “Soncy”, you find the beautiful Zeeland Flanders coastal area. Here you can discover what Zeeland is so famous for: magnificent wide and (last but not least !) clean sandbeaches. And, by the way, the number of sun hours in Zeeland is well above the national average.

Going out

In the Groede surroundings bikers, walkers and horseriders are coddled with an extensive network of cycling- , walking- , and riding-tracks. In this way you can enjoy the varying landscape and (in addition to the beaches) discover the splendour and vastness of the polders with characteristics such as island- and dike-structures and pollard-willows. For those who want to explore the wider region, interesting small town such as Aardenburg and Sluis, and of course the historic cultural cities of Bruges and Ghent are a must.
