Under the NATO agreements, the air forces across the Atlantic established strategic bases in Europe, including Marville, in the Meuse department (France). In 1955, Virton, like Florenville and Longuyon in France, welcomed hundreds of Canadian military pilots from the 1st Wing seeking refuge for themselves and their families. The Canadian period was deeply affecting the lives of the residents of Virton, and such strong bonds of friendship were forged that a celebration was organized for their departure on March 11, 1967. The totem from Canada that they presented to Virton and Longuyon in France was a special sign of recognition and gratitude for the excellent way in which the residents had welcomed the Canadians. This gesture has special significance, as totems held a deeper meaning among Native Americans. In 1992, the original totem, which had been severely damaged, was recreated identically by Claude Goffinet and inaugurated on October 30th. (Visit Wallonia)

🏰 **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.

If you are looking for a unique and memorable attraction in the Gaume region of Belgium, you should visit the Canadian Totem Pole in Virton. This colorful and impressive sculpture was donated by the Canadian airmen who stayed at Virton in 1955, as part of the NATO agreement. The totem symbolizes friendship and gratitude between Canadians and the local population, who welcomed them warmly. The original totem, carved by Pacific Coast Indians from a fir tree, was resculpted in 1992 by Claude Goffinet, a local artist. You can admire the totem in rue des Grasses Oies, near the Maison du tourisme de Gaume. It is a remarkable work of art and history that tells a story of cross-cultural exchange and hospitality.

A gift with a message... a sign of respect and recognition for the unforgettable way in which the Canadian army pilots were received. In 1955, Virton (just like Florenville and the French Longuyon) was ready to receive hundreds of Canadian pilots from the 1st Wing. Those pilots were looking for shelter for themselves and their families. Upon their departure, the Canadians presented a real Indian totem from Canada to the residents of Virton and Longuyon, as a reminder of their friendship. In 1992, the original totem, which was seriously damaged, was identically recreated by Claude Goffinet. (https://www.visitgaume.be/nl/decouvrir-patrimoine-musees/LOD-01-0B1A-3YCC&type=11/)

Stationed in Longuyon in 1954, with an air base in Marville, the Canadians left our region in 1966/1967 following General DE GAULLE's decision in 1966 to no longer belong to NATO. The Canadians, in thanks for the welcome received by the French, proposed to the municipality, chaired by Robert DRAPIER, to build a totem characteristic of the Canadian nation. It was inaugurated on March 11, 1967 by the Indian chief KHUT LA CHA and his squaw "Princess of Peace", in the presence of the mayor and the city council, as well as the 4 colonels who had succeeded each other at the base. After many Indian dances and songs to the accompaniment of a tambourine, the chief gave his headdress to Colonel CHRISTIE, the last base commander, who unveiled the plaque affixed to the Totem's base. As a testimony to the warm welcome given by the French people to all Canadian personnel of the First Wing, Royal Canadian Air Force, who stayed at Marville Base from 1954 to 1967. Worn out over the years, our unusual Totem was replaced thanks to Canadians from the LAHR base in Germany. Renovated and carved from larch, 5.40 meters high, the new brand new totem was re-inaugurated by Pierre MERSCH, Mayor, on June 8, 1986. It is regularly maintained and some parts have been refurbished. weather and pollution would soon have overcome this memory of the past. In 2005, the second Totem, which still retained the original sculptures and designs, had to be replaced. It is now in resin, which should make it more resistant to the test of time.
