On the road along the water
The starting point of this route is at Vresse-Sur-Semois. If you look at the name of this town you will not be surprised that it is located on the banks of the river Semois. This river meanders from east to west to the municipality of the same name Vresse-sur-Semois and eventually the river flows into France. Vresse-sur-Semois is the only Walloon municipality where Champenois is spoken, a language that originated in the French region of Champagne-Ardennes. So don't be surprised if you have a chat with one of the inhabitants of this region.
Idyllic Laforet
One of the towns you will visit on this route is Laforet on the left bank of the Semois. In the past, tobacco was mainly grown here and the tobacco fields stretched as far as the eye could see. Now Laforet is mainly a small idyllic village with an old church and slate farmhouses. Take a look here and imagine yourself in times long gone.
