The most famous representative of the dynasty, Godfrey of Bouillon (Duke of Lower Lorraine, c. 1060 to 1100), takes us back in time to the late 11th century. Geographically, however, the life story of this man takes us far from his homeland: across the Mediterranean to the Holy Land. He participated as a leading figure in the First Crusade and the conquest of Jerusalem. After the city's capture, he was to become king of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, but he rejected such a title, arguing that the only king over Jerusalem could be Christ himself, who was crucified and buried here—and resurrected.

From this bridge you have a beautiful view of the Semois on both sides.

The fortified castle of Bouillon is situated on three rocky ridges and offers stunning views of the city. During your visit, you can also take in a falconry performance. Falconry was a true art form during the Middle Ages. You can conclude your visit with the Scriptura Museum, which chronicles the history of education, and the exhibition of the fresco "The Armed Pilgrimage of Godfrey of Bouillon." The castle is open daily.

you don't have to go to Corbion via the busy asphalt

Not much to see here besides the Boulangerie Gallot in the South for some baked goods!

The parish church of Bouillon, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, is located on Rue des Augustins, in the heart of old Bouillon. Built in 1848 in a neoclassical style, it was built on the site of the Augustins college, according to the plans of the architect Dumont. This magnificent building reflects the history and architecture of the region, offering an impressive testimony to the local heritage.

This postcard view will take your breath away! A perfect place for a break.

Bouillon Castle is a hilltop castle above the Belgian town of Bouillon in a narrow loop of the Semois river. The complex was built in the 11th century and converted into a fortress in the 17th century. The time when the castle was built is unclear. Its strategic importance lay in controlling the north-south route from Reims via Liège to Aachen between Upper and Lower Lorraine. The complex was expanded into a proper castle under Godfrey III between 1050 and 1067. It was the center of the rule of the House of Ardennes. Godfrey V pawned the castle to Otbert of Liège in 1096 in order to be able to cover the costs of the first crusade. The castle thus became the property of the Bishopric of Liège. In 1134, Raymond de Bar conquered the castle. Bishop Albero II of Liège had the castle besieged in 1141 and the Count of Bar had to cede it back to the bishop. Since 1330 the dominion was called a duchy (Wikipedia).
