Nice show

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.

A very beautiful castle. There wasn't a bird of prey show when we were there. Across from the castle is a small restaurant where you can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat, making for a pleasant stopover.

The Birds of Prey show at Bouillon Castle is fantastic fun for all ages. Every few hours during the summer months, a bird of prey show is held. The falconer has various owls, eagles, buzzards, vultures, and of course, falcons. The birds fly incredibly low above the crowd. You can take a seat in the grandstand for this performance at 11:30 AM, 2:00 PM, and 3:30 PM. In July and August, there's also a show at 5:00 PM. There's no extra admission fee for the bird of prey show; it's included in the castle entrance fee. You're also not required to watch the show. If you'd like to watch, you can simply take a seat in the grandstand. A quick tip: it can get quite warm in the summer because of the sun, so bring a hat or a bottle of water.

Information board where extensive explanation is given about Porcheresse and its inhabitants before the tragedy of the Great War. In 1914 Porcheresse is a village of clog makers. The inhabitants live mainly from agriculture. the construction of the tram connection opens up new possibilities. However, their living conditions will change dramatically due to the impending war. It is a small village with 460 inhabitants, located in an open place in the forest. THE area is hilly, crossed by the Lesse and the Almache. What do the inhabitants live on? Around 1900, 70% of men were clog makers in their main or secondary occupation. In the lower part of Porcheresse, along the Almache, mills for grain and oil, a sawmill, a tannery and a paper mill were also under development. In short, the inhabitants lived from agriculture and iron mining. How do the inhabitants move? After a long period of containment, the village was connected in 1908 to the tram line Rochefort-Wellin-Graide, as well as to the railway.

The castle of Porcheresse bears witness to the village's feudal past. this used to be the residence of the noble lord who imposed duties and taxes on the villagers. The castle stood in "la ruelle du Seigneur" (road to Daverdisse), later opposite the farmer's court "Moniotte". The castle was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century and rebuilt on its current site. The castle was destroyed again in 1914 and was rebuilt in 1919 - 1920 in Second Empire style.
