The Belgian Ardennes

The Belgian Ardennes

We will start our tour in Namur, the enormous citadel spread over Champeau Hill still dominates the scene of a constant city under siege. The variety of landscapes along the Namur section of the river is a result of the types of rock through which it passes. We will reach Dinant. Dinant, lies in a remarcable setting in The Meuse Valley. In the past, Dinant was a fortress, renowned for the chased copper-and brass-ware produced here since the 12C. The little capital of the lovely Semois Valley is one of the most popular places in the Ardennes, with canoeing on the river (break?) and a wonderfull countryside.From Bouillon, still following The Semois, we will reach Orval and its World Famous Abbey.From Orval, we will aim Han-Sur-Lesse, exceptional village, in the heart of the Parc National de Lesse et Lomme, an extensive limestone upland crossed by the two rivers. From Han, we will drive to La Roche-en-Ardenne. From La Roche, we will follow The Upper Ourthe Valley.
