Major heritage of Wallonia
This site is classified as a major heritage of Wallonia. Laid out over 300 m in length, along the asphalt road, the Frahan viewpoint is striking due to the scale of the landscape that opens up to the viewer's eyes.
Accessible by road and walks 27-28-29 - GR 16 - VTT 6
Since the disappearance of the campsites and the renovation of the hamlet, the site has regained all its authenticity. An Ardennes house with its awning is listed. The overhead power lines have been put underground, the washhouse has been restored, as has a bus shelter built in Ardennes schist.
One of the campsites, near the 1926 footbridge, has been replaced by a children's farm. Tobacco drying sheds are a reminder of the culture that flourished here for a hundred years, starting in 1852, when Joseph Pierret, a schoolteacher in the neighboring village of Alle, grew his first tobacco plants in his garden.
The view overlooks the Crêtes de Frahan, crossed by the long-distance hiking trail. There you will find a series of rocks with escapes towards the valley, a natural cave and the ruins of the old Montragut castle.
From the viewpoint we can also see on the right the Corbeaux slate quarries, once spread over three floors and which have become a state nature reserve for bats. The woods that we see on the left and right are classified and there is an obligation to maintain native hardwoods, oaks and beeches, maples and ash trees, hornbeams and hazel trees, elms and birches.
