Congratulations to @chateau_fort_sedan ! Crowned as the 'Le Monument Préféré des Français 2023' in France. The Château de Sedan is indeed a must-visit. It stands as the largest military fortress in Europe, with its moat-surrounded walls soaring 30 meters high and incredibly thick. The château has been splendidly renovated and furnished, inviting you to dine with the nobles of yesteryears as you step inside.

Moreover, it frequently hosts events that transport you straight to the Middle Ages, like the knight shows this summer. And it's only a 35 min drive from Lacuisine.

The Château de Sedan is a part of the ‘La Marck’ castle route, featuring the magnificent Château de Bouillon, the ruins of the Herbeumont castle, the grandeur of Sedan, and finally, the lost castle of Neufchâteau.

Paddling Paradise: Splash Your Way through the Semois! 💦 🛶

The Semois is a wonderfully calm river with splendid views of the surrounding nature. Ideal for both starting as experienced kayakers. You can enjoy the tranquillity, the scenery and the many aquatic insects and birds. From the water, you also get beautiful views of the forests and rocks around you.

Feeling adventurous? You can combine the first part of our Summerhike from Lacuisine to Chiny and take the kayak back! 🥾🌳

💡 Planning to kayak from Chiny to Lacuisine? Guests at our vacation home can request to be picked up by Kayak Chiny at the pick-up spot near Hotel Aux beau rivages (also known as Lacuisine Plage). This way, you can stroll back home after you're fun on the water.

⚠️ Summer rains may have filled the Semois to the brim! Ideal for kayaking, but please note that due to recent rainfall, kayaking may be subject to restrictions. Check the current status at kayak.environnement.wallonie.be

Discover more underground treasures on the 'slate trail'.

📸 Last week, we visited the Musée de l'Ardoise in Haute-Martelange. Here, 600 miners annually extracted over 12 million slates from 1870 to 1986. Because the slate was mined from bottom to top, all the stone, usable or not, was transported to the surface. As a result, immense underground chambers were created. Today, they offer offer breathtaking panoramic views to visitors.

The outside grounds are also really nice with the old buildings, a labyrinth, a train on Sundays, lots of shade and a cosy bar.

Whether it's a rainy day or an extremely sunny one, this is the perfect escape if you want to discover some local history.
