Villers-devant-Orval Village

Villers-devant-Orval is an old village that was largely destroyed during the Second World War. Only a few older houses survived this war.
When you walk through the village, you will discover some old 18th century farms and even a 17th century castle, now classified. On the « Place de l'Etang » in the center of the village is the Saint-Gengoulf fountain; this old structure was rebuilt in 1847; in a niche is the statue of the saint patron of the parish and holder of the church. Opposite is a « fumière » which, as the name implies, was a storage place for the manure. The wooden beams that support the roof come from the old church that was destroyed at the beginning of the war 1940-45.

Small village not far from the French border and the Orval Abbey. There is an overnight accommodation option here.
