Authentic chapels
The river Lesse originates in the area you cycle through during this trip. Embedded in the loops of the river you will find small towns and villages full of beautiful sights and old legends that are passed down from generation to generation. The town of Paliseul is located between the Lesse and the Semois, on a plateau with deep valleys. The chapel Saint-Roch is a nice place to admire here. Two large ash trees and an ancient lime tree surround the extraordinary stone and slate chapel, built in 1636 in the center of the village. A peculiar charm emanates from it. The chapel was erected in honor of Saint Roch, who had cured the inhabitants of the plague.
