HERITAGE AND TOURISM
Church routes
-
Detours and other pilgrimages in Namur (loop 5) - This tour takes you in the footsteps of two pilgrimages that were very important at the time: one goes back to the Middle Ages and the other to the 17th century. What do they have in common? The coming of the great ones of this world to pray and meditate. -
Detours and other pilgrimages in Namur (loop 3) - Extending the walk after the Benedictine abbeys, you will discover an ancient place of pilgrimage, the abbey of Brogne, erected in homage to Saint Gerard who did so much for the village that it took its name from the seventeenth century, thus becoming "Saint-Gérard". -
From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes (car 2 route) - Several churches are built on the very site of very old oratories, of which they have preserved traces. Some were destroyed and then rebuilt, especially after the Religious Wars. Others, more recent, testify to the styles in vogue at the time of our (great-)grandparents.... -
Tours "From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes" (bike tour 2) - The first parishes of the Ardennes were far apart. It took miles to get to Mass... Since the end of the 19th century, each village has wanted to build its own church. What an investment for the local community, but what a pride too! -
"From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes (car route 1) - Most of the religious art objects were donated by grateful parishioners. The craftsmen and artists they have called upon over the centuries have not counted their hours for these testimonies of faith. So many admirable and moving works! -
From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes (cycle route 1) - How lucky we are to have so many "building stones" in our basement. In this part of the Ardennes, it is mainly schist and sandstone that we find, or even a mixture of the two. The churches built in these rocks draw a very particular strength of character from them... A route for lovers of climbing. -
From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes (hike 2) - Already occupied in prehistoric times, the forests of the Ardennes have seen the birth of prehistoric, Celtic, Gallo-Roman and then Christian places of worship. The remains of these millenary rites have become rare, but several sacred places, reused to this day, still retain their memory. -
From bell tower to bell tower in the heart of the Ardennes (hike 1) - Untiring walkers, Martin de Tours and Thibaut de Provins were both attracted by the life of a hermit. A simplicity of existence that they kept despite the responsibilities they later assumed in the Church. As the patron saints of many religious buildings, they continue to be the subject of pilgrimages, even today.
