The Belgian Ardennes and its rolling hills are home to picture-postcard towns and grand country houses dripping with history. Bouillon lies close to the border of France, nestled on a sharp bend of the River Semois. In the heart of the Ardennes forest. This small medieval city is a popular destination for short breaks to the region.

Dinant is squeezed between the River Meuse and the high rocks that overlook it. Perched above the town, and protected by sheer cliffs, is the town’s imposing citadel with sweeping views. A ribbon of charming houses and shops run alongside the river and Dinant beckons you to enjoy its warm waterside location under a Belgian sun.

Namur, the capital of Wallonia, is a must visit. It has a rich heritage, charming little streets, an imposing 19th century citadel renamed by Napoleon as ”the ant hill of Europe” offering unsurpassable views, sunny cafes, bookshops and vintage shops all waiting to be explored. Located at the meeting point of the Meuse and Sambre rivers, an ideal way to take in the attractiveness of the town is with a leisurely boat ride.
