Lake Genval (in Dutch: Meer van Genval) extends along the edge of the Soignes forest, southeast of Brussels, on the borders of the areas of the municipalities of Rixensart on which Genval depends, in the province of Walloon Brabant and Overijse in the province of Flemish Brabant.
The small river Argentina, which fed a modest pond in the 19th century, today defines the language barrier. Since its inception, Lake Genval has been a popular tourist spot for locals in Brussels and wealthy foreigners who live in the region. Experience the numerous and opulent villas that were built from the Belle Epoque to the present day. One of these highlights is without a doubt the Château du Lac, a prestigious five-star hotel where the French football team stayed in Belgium during the Euro 2000.
