⛰ What a lovely reward for a walk the Aiguilles de Chaleux are! These limestone cliffs, which colour palette goes from pearl to dark, reflect beautifully in the passing Lesse river.

⏱ Walking along these needle like formations, you will find a cave, used as a shelter in Paolitic times… Excavations found no less than 30,000 flint objects as well as decorative items made of shells, tools made of bones.

🌱 How soothing to think, in such a fast-moving world, that, thousand of years ago, our ancestors enjoyed the same peaceful view…

🏰 Built on a rocky hill in the province of Liège, the Château de Modave is said to date back to the Middle Ages.

🤴The Count of Marchin added its two distinctive towers and classical façade in the 17th century, turning the fortress into an elegant palace...

🖼 Indeed - the twenty highly decorated rooms of the living quarters of the castle are remarkable. Elaborate stucco ceilings, large Brussels tapestries and carved panelling hung with period paintings create an ambiance of unrestrained opulence.

🌹 Its French gardens, complete with exquisite roses, are well worth a stroll too.

Autumn colours are unfolding beautifully in Wallonia, dashes of warm browns, bright oranges, cheerful yellows...
And while the weather might bring a few drizzles these day, we don’t mind so much: the rain adds a gloss, a lusciousness to landscapes that instantly make you feel like a poet.

Below are captures of Le Parc Naturel des Deux Ourthes, at the heart of the Belgian Ardenne, where you can go for endless walks, bike rides and even kayak.

Even Victor Hugo, who visited in 1862, fell under its charm...
