Through the magnificent deciduous forests, the Ton and Semois have moulded the landscapes of the Gaume. They have created a succession of plateaux that dominate the valleys - the famous cuestas, where the springs sculpt limestone deposits to create striking shapes, known as the crons.
As you enjoy this pleasant tour (about 80 km), you can also visit the scene of the first clashes of
the Battle of the Frontiers.
Length of circuit : 80 KM
The agenda is an invaluable tool and will help you organise your weekends during the Great War centenary year. It will also enable you to take part in free commemorative and festive events, by providing you with an exclusive à la carte programme!
After the Great War, which began 100 years ago, all that remained of this region were battlefields and destroyed villages. In the same place, you will now find idyllic landscapes and picturesque villages. In order to help you visit the region, the CHEMINS DE MEMOIRE project has developed 10 CIRCUITS, ranging from 35 - 80 km. As you pass along the trails, information points will help you find out more about the special and little known history of the Battle of the Frontiers.
You can pick up a free map from the region's tourist offices.
