Laurence Dervaux is offering us a striking experience in the church of Saint Nicolas de Myre. She suspended gigantic glass drops from the ceiling. Each drop is filled with a red liquid whose volume corresponds to the amount of blood in the bodies of children, women and men. This installation, of great formal beauty, sublimates one of the fluids essential to life. In this architectural and spiritual context, and in the face of current geopolitical challenges, this vital blood takes... -

From the church of Sainte-Aldegonde, the tour will take you to the Tunnel des Amoureux, a bucolic path linked to the Goûter matrimonial, recognised in 2023 as a masterpiece of the FWB's oral and intangible heritage. It then goes on to the Château de la Follie, rebuilt at the end of the 18th century and now exceptionally open. Finally, the interesting Saint-Remy church, rebuilt in the mid-19th century, brings the tour to a close.Part of this route is accessible to...European Heritage Days in Wallonia

Founded in 1123, the abbey owes its name to the nearby forest of Bellum Fagetum, meaning Belle Hêtraie, in Walloon Bê Fayi, from which Beaufays derives. Placed under the authority of the bishop of Verdun and then that of the prince-bishop of Liège, the small community of canons lived through more than seven centuries of sometimes turbulent history. This year, thanks to the support of the King Baudouin Foundation, the 18th century stuccoed ceiling of the pavilion will be restored....European Heritage Days in Wallonia

In addition to the traditional visit to the Treasury and St Paul's Cathedral, various aspects of heritage discovery will be accessible through the senses and in ways other than those usually used: touching certain things rather than seeing them, seeing what you hear, hearing and smelling what you see, seeing and hearing what is usually inaccessible... Two or three televisions, one or other soundtrack or objects will be made available or presented to visitors.Info: http://www.tresordeliege.be -

You will have the opportunity to handle the statues. Feel the vibrations of the music of the bells rung in his honour at the top... -

A look underground at St Gummarus Church.
A final resting place in a church used to be an important status symbol. At the end of the 18th century, the government banned the burial of ‘rich stinkers’ in and around the church for hygienic reasons. So it also happens in St Gummarus church. Thanks to the thorough restoration of St Gummarus Church, we can now take a unique look at the underground of the church from the viewing box. Discover how past... -
Accessible to people with reduced mobility and with a permanent sign in FALC, the silhouette of Saint-Firmin church marks the old heart of the village. Its Romanesque origins (11th-12th c.) are clearly visible, with its massive tower in front of the naves. It has undergone unavoidable alterations since the early 18th century, but it has retained a beautiful harmony and a distinctive feature: the aisles that run along the sides of the tower. Come and discover the secrets of this...European Heritage Days in Wallonia
