A cute countryside where you will discover la Dolce Vita, green and wooded landscape, small villages with smiling and nice people, delicious local food and drinks and great walks.

The famous Rock Caillou-qui-bique and the forest of Angre
Let immerse yourself in a peaceful atmosphere and enter the forest, the Bois d'Angre on the way to the Caillou-qui-bique, a rock that is positioned on a very steep hill and that balances perfectly. Of course it attracts many curious people. According to a legend, the rock would be the result of the creation of the devil...The Caillou-qui-bique has inspired several writers including my cousin Aurélie in her beautiful novel written in French "Effrange".
In the Bois d'Angre, you can take very nice walks through the rivers, rocks and daffodils. It's a little enchanting world. There are several marked trails across the site and stone blocks engraved with the most beautiful verses of the poet Emile Verhaeren.
