View of the village of Olloy. A little blocked by the trees, but standing on the rocks you can see the village very well.

Just below the chapel is a spring, which drains into the path below: a unique botanical phenomenon of limestone tufa can be admired here.

The Luve (or Ruisseau de Luve ) is a Belgian-French river in the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse , a tributary of the Viroin and a tributary of the Meuse. Over a largely wooded course of about fifteen kilometres, it drains part of the water from the southern part of the Viroin-Hermeton nature park . Its source is in the 'Bois de Franche' south of the hamlet of Regniessart. It rises towards the north-east and crosses Oignies-en-Thiérache and passes south of Le Mesnil. Then, during a long forest route, it crosses the French-Belgian border and flows further north into the Viroin at Molhain, in France, just a few kilometres before the confluence of the latter with the Meuse.

Starting from the church of Le Mesnil, a small typical village in the municipality of Viroinval, take the route that goes down between large meadows to reach the Ardennes forest. For the record: Le Mesnil is the least populated and most picturesque village in the Viroinval region. The route runs along the stream “Deluve” before crossing it and taking a very beautiful path that follows the border between Belgium and France to reach the place called “La Folie”. This place evokes the audacity of these men who went into the forest to open an oasis of light and life. The return to the village is via a charming stone path in the forest.

The now tall trees obstruct the beautiful view...

Hidden in the middle of the woods, the chapel dates from 1929. It owes its name to the Bonne Fontaine spring which is located below near an old charm.

Here you will find the symbol of European Unity, a star with 15 arms made of granite. The center of this star is The Cathedral of Light, a glass work of art created by Bernard Tirtiaux. Each arm of this star represents the period in which the country has been a member of the European Union. The length is proportional to the date of accession. 1958: Belgium - France - Italy - Germany - Luxembourg - Netherlands. 1973: United Kingdom – Denmark – Ireland. 1981: Greece. 1986: Spain – Portugal. 1995: Sweden – Finland – Austria There is a more recent monument in Gelnhausen, Germany, with the countries that joined the E.U. after that time.
