The Lesse Valley : where life is intense and enjoyed to the full...

 

The Lesse Valley, in the heart of a bountiful and beautiful natural environment. 

Snugly nestled on the threshold of the vast Ardennes massif, the Lesse Valley districts of Beauraing, Houyet and Rochefort, constitute a genuine treasure trove of impressive woods, vast natural reserves, imposing castles, mysterious caves, and, much, much more…

Venerable but untamed rivers flow through a land which will regale you with sumptuous views and stunning landscapes. Their discovery will procure you a supreme sense of wellbeing as well as a wealth of blissful memories…

In the beginning, a fierce battle was waged between the land and its magnificent but undomesticated nature. Water, whose tranquillity is unrivalled by anything but its innate fierceness, played the role of go-between between the land and the forces of nature.

In addition to these major assets shaped and fashioned by these tormented geological processes, mankind has added its singular touch to this intricate natural edifice.

As years went by, chocolate box villages and bustling towns were constructed, little gems of architecture where our innate sense of hospitality culminates in Dionysian feasts, merry village fêtes and unusual encounters.

That’s what the Lesse Valley is all about… an area rife with ambitions, a beautifully preserved natural environment and the warm welcome of its people. A soupçon of imagination mingled with a smidgeon of the unusual, heralds an extraordinary array of exciting discoveries.

Our natural heritage represents one of the area’s major assets, benefiting superbly from the concurrence of a number of distinctive characteristics : the encounter between the natural areas that are the  Ardennes, the Condroz and the Famenne, the abundance of streams and rivers, valleys discreetly revealing their significant and unique fauna and flora….

The Val de Lesse also boasts a full range of accommodation and a variety of festivities, both warranting an unforgettable stay. Our hospitality knows no bounds….
