The Ardennes region derives its character from its river valleys that consist of winding canyons reaching up to inspiring high green peaks. Namur itself is a great starting point for any exploration of the area. Set around a 19th Century Citadel, it has superb restaurants and a lively bar scene. Other towns worth a visit are Dinant, Rochefort, St Hubert and the delightful Bouillon (from where some of the region’s most dramatic scenery can be seen). The Meuse Valley can be explored by boat; alternatively one can canoe up the narrower and wilder River Lesse. Vireux has restaurants, markets and shops.

Discover the diversity of this region: a colourful pallet of woodlands, pastures, valleys, small lakes and meandering rivers. Long walks and mountain biking can be a part of your holiday, along with canoeing on the Lesse. Or, for some culture, experience the Binche carnival. Characteristic farms and fairy tale castles like the chateau and Abbee at Chimay, or a visit to the Han caves, will make your holiday here complete.
