My heart's Gaume. All my youth in Gaume.

🏰 **Château de Cons-la-Grandville – A Journey Through the Centuries** The imposing castle of **Cons-la-Grandville**, near the border with Luxembourg, combines Romanesque origins with Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Built on the foundations of a Gallo-Roman villa, it was expanded and remodeled several times from the 11th century onwards. Particularly worth seeing: the Romanesque cloister, the elegant façade, and the magnificent courtyard. 🕰️ The château was the residence of the noble de Cons family, later also a monastery, and has been lovingly restored. Today it is a listed monument and open to visitors. **Tip:** Be sure to visit the cloister – one of the oldest preserved of its kind in Lorraine. Ideal as a stopover on the way between France and Luxembourg.

Just before the swamps end, you drive a long stretch over a wooden bridge. It's easy to navigate, and there were no other traffic at all.

The Ossuary of Douaumont is an impressive memorial that holds the remains of more than 130,000 unknown French and German soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun (1916). The bones are visible through small windows in the base – a confronting reminder of the horrors of war. In front of the ossuary is the Nécropole nationale de Douaumont, the largest French military cemetery of the First World War, with 16,142 graves, including a Muslim and Jewish plot. The complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.

The Mémorial de Verdun, located near the ruined village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont, is a leading museum and commemoration site for the Battle of Verdun (1916). The museum displays more than 2,000 objects and uses authentic objects, photographs and audiovisual installations to show how French and German soldiers experienced this battle – in the exact same place where they fought.

The Verdun Memorial, located in Fleury, and the forts of Douaumont and Vaux lie at the heart of the Verdun battlefield, on the heights of the town of Verdun. The memorial was built on the site of the former railway station in the ruined village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont.

On the edge of a wooded massif, where the climate is favorable for growing wine, lies Torgny, Belgium's southernmost village. The houses here, built of yellow sandstone with Roman roof tiles, are striking, lending a Mediterranean flair. A truly beautiful sight. No wonder this place is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

Craft brewery located in Lamorteau. With a nice range of beers. Also the Trévires restaurant (bistronomic cuisine). Right next door, a large area full of games will delight the children. The brasserie is located right in front of Ravel. This cycle path is also part of the point node network. This is a stone's throw from the very beautiful village of Torgny, a typical Provençal style village, with its red tile roofs. One of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. A great place to come and visit Gaume. For more info: https://www.brasseriedestrevires.be/fr
