Village Square of Forêt

Forest (in Walloon Foret-dlé-Tchôfontinne) is a section of the Belgian municipality of Trooz located in the Walloon Region in the province of Liège.

It was a commune in its own right before the merger of the communes of 1977, it included the villages of Prayon and Trooz.
Small village typical of the Pays de Herve in the Entre-Vesdre-et-Meuse region, its location straddles two distinct geological zones: the Herve plateau (limestone) and the slopes of the edge of the Vesdre (schistose sandstone).

The constructions of the old core in the heart of the village are made of sandstone and/or limestone rubble. These traditional houses surrounded a pond (watering trough, washhouse) now filled.

The church, built under the patronage of Sainte-Catherine, is surrounded by its cemetery. Inside the nave, you can admire a polychrome Christ from the 14th century and a set of tempera paintings dating from the 16th century depicting the martyrdom of Saint Barbara.

Nice little town center with old stone houses

The hamlet of Forêt has a very beautiful village square, or should I say "village grass field". The houses are typical Ardennes houses, but the "square" around which they stand looks like an English "Village Green".
