"Brou" is a mixture of dry grass and feces. There used to be a place here, the Trou du Brou - or Trô do brou in Walloon - where herds of cows and sheep were led over a path to graze in the Fens. Along the way the animals left a lot of "brou" which was then picked up to improve the soil for vegetable gardens by people who didn't have animals like the village pastor or teacher - the information board tells the story with pictures.
