Just lovely

Cozily situated in an oxbow of the Semois, Bouillon is small and easy going, charming with it's dark framed, white-washed houses; buzzing with the sounds of the river and the occasional splash of the ducks, swans and trout.

It's a tourist town without being 'touristy', buzzling without being busy.

Regardless of what makes you tick - beer, history or sport - it can make you feel equally at home either on a day trip from Brussels or for a long weekend.

Bouillon is great, isn't it? The view from Belvedere looks nice, what a pity we didn't climb up there!
